It's only been a few days but already node operators are saying that they don't want to manage lightning channels. They want to set it and forget it. Receive payments to your own node without relinquishing custody. #hydro #LightningNetwork #automation #lightning

"Until now, sourcing liquidity for businesses on the LN has been a challenging endeavor, as entrepreneurs typically lack the time and expertise needed to manage a LN node. Consequently, the adoption of Lightning has been slow for retailers using full nodes, often forcing them to turn to trusted custodians, thereby sacrificing some of the privacy and sovereignty advantages offered by Bitcoin. With Hydro, businesses can finally tap into the full benefits of LN adoption without the associated hassles."

Get ready ⚡️node runners! We're releasing Hydro to quench "thirsty" lightning nodes! Let's dive in to our solution to the biggest problem of the Lightning Network: Channel management takes too much time. Here’s how to automate and take back control of your payment network. Hydro solves the steep learning curve of lightning node operation with a simple automation service, aimed at businesses. Amboss sources lightning channel liquidity from decentralized sources, including nodes on Magma. Hydro can make any node an LSP. image We created two hydro plans to start: Capacity & Inbound Liquidity Capacity Management uses public information to manage the size of your node. This is best for privacy-minded operators. Inbound Liquidity Management uses self-reported information to ensure cost efficiency. image I can't promise Flow 5.0, but Hydro simplifies nodes. It automatically solves liquidity problems and paves a path towards a decentralized, credit-free payment system that settles in real time, globally. Is your lightning node ready for business? image https://amboss.space/hydro

It appears that sentiment has shifted in lightning channel opens and we may have reached a local bottom in lightning capacity with new channel opens picking up.

Over the past 30 days, traffic from iris.to to amboss.space has risen to about 1/5th of twitter traffic. Over the past 7 days, traffic from iris is more than 1/4 of traffic from twitter. Seems like a solid trend.

When information on Amboss doesn't match your node, it's most often resolved by restarting your lightning node, which rebroadcasts "gossip" messages to the network. The AOT metric measures how fast gossip messages propagate through the network to us. 60 mins AOT is excellent. image
