Keeping my **longest cowboy streak** going until __@_'-' reaches its destination: **8**

Couple thoughts:

- Stacker.news node might be a good first node to connect to https://amboss.space/node/03cc1d0932bb99b0697f5b5e5961b83ab7fd66f1efc4c9f5c7bad66c1bcbe78f02  Appears to have very small channels open.

- I had a similar thought journey as you are having  Many small channels sounds nice but does not work very well.  Between on chain fees, nodes have minimal capacity threshold (which are always not visible till you try to open a channel), and closing channel in high fee environment.  One can easily have a large percentage of the balance eaten up by fees.

- You could Uncle Jim for the people you are setting up.  Connect them to your node (which could be better connected and better founded). You could open a channel to them to provide inbound liquidity.

- I am blanking on the name/BIP# but there is a movement out there to make LSP (Lighting Service Provider) funding more easier and open (visible to all not just users in a particular LSP)

Weak entropy is closer to the anonymous envelop.  There is no way to contact the owner of a wallet created with weak entropy.

But, put it this way: if your mother created a wallet with weak entropy, and you serendipitously found the weak entropy wallet and then took the funds, but you honestly didn't know they were hers until months later when she complained about an anonymous "hacker".

Would you give her, her funds back? Would you tell her you 'just found an anonymous wallet' and so you wouldn't give it back?  Would you just stay quiet, lie by omission?

You asked to have somebody change your mind.  I have tried.  I have my own answers to the above.  I wish you the best, in figuring out your own answers.

When did you start to care about your (online) privacy?

Does this change, if its a stranger?
