I am sure crypto people will come up with something for TAOs as well in due time. Gotta keep the grift assembly line running. I think it is a great orange pill tool that we can compare the work of folks like @anita to the crap that comes out of crypto as evidence of why Bitcoin is different.

If you want to became some kind of "profitable node" listen to my advice:

More private LSPs = more decentralized LN

You don't have to be a real public LSP, is enough to be for your friends and family.

## PSA for Public node runners:
If you want to became some kind of "profitable node" listen to my advice:
- run a very good node, with good connections, stable, not mobile
- have large liquidity, I mean LARGE not joking with 1M sats channels
- provide channels as LSP for private nodes like Zeus, Blixt, Mutiny and all others that can open channels to any node
- provide good routing fees for private channels
- yes, charge a fee to open a private channel, it is normal that, because we know that there are costs in maintaining private channels. Privacy is not free.
- offer good timing to maintain those channels alive and not close them.
- if you can offer swaps between LN-onchain that will be a plus
- if you can offer inbound channels that will be a plus
- take care of your private peers because they will be like your "secret" customers that will bring you a lot of traffic.
