Happy #SatStackerSaturday folks! RecklessApotheosis routed 89m sats this week across 725 transactions. An overall slow week. We lost 2 channels and gained 2 channels, the Ordinals backlog has slowed channel openings and made the pain of force closures much more gruesome. We're open for dual funded opens, and inbound opens. Inbound channels get 0/0 fees for 30 days and the first 300 sats of their opening fees refunded!

RecklessApotheosis is going down for a software update reboot, should be back momentarily!

Darn, that 1 hour 29 minute outage resulted in 3 FCs at a cost of 4,500 sats! Gonna have to reach out for reopens...

Happy #SatStackerSunday (because I was out Saturday)!RecklessApotheosis routed 787 transactions totalling 98m sats! Not too bad, at least an improvement over last week. Due to delayed cleanups we lost 4 channels but gained 12! 🔥 ⚡️ ❤️‍🔥 Of those 12, 5 were inbound opens, which exposed a bug in my script and their fees were not staying at 0! So now we're fixing that, apologies to the impacted noderunners! And a reminder as always, inbound channels benefit from 0/0 fees for the first 30 days and the first 300 sats of opening fees refunded, for a mempool this empty it's like opening a channel for free! Happy routing to one and all!

Good morning fellow Reckless Plebs! Have a fantastic day living in the future, and if "the future" isn't what you dreamed it would be like as a child, make it be so!

Good morning fellow noderunners! I just caught this ring of fire out the window and thought it was a good opportunity to remind everyone that if you're looking at getting started with noderunning, one of the best starting places is with Rings of Fire where helpful plebs will not only expand your liquidity, but you'll learn from established noderunners and develop relationships that will help you excel on your journey and avoid common mistakes! So if you haven't already, check them out! https://t.me/theRingsOfFire

Happy #SatStackerSunday! RecklessApotheosis lost 3 channels this week and gained 2, with a slight increase in overall capacity. It's been a hard week for a lot of noderunners with a clogged mempool and expensive force closures! We routed 576 transactions this week weighing in at over 57m sats! Not a record week, but not slow, although FC costs overshadowed much of the node's revenue. Here's to better routing this week! ⚡️

Happy #SatStackerSunday! RecklessApotheosis lost 3 channels this week and gained 3, so our score is 76-love! It's been yet another hard week for a lot of noderunners with a clogged mempool, expensive force closures, and chatoic macroeconomic times! We routed 936 transactions this week weighing in at 65m sats! Better than last week, but still under 1k/100m sat routing capacity. If the harsh times have made you reconsider noderunning, just don't forget that outside the lightning community things aren't any safer, and together we are building the tools of tomorrow's finance! You can always open up a channel to #RecklessApotheosis and we'll refund the first 300 sats of your opening fees and give you 0/0 routing fees for 30 days! Stay reckless and happy routing!

Happy #SatStackerSunday! RecklessApotheosis lost 3 channels again this week but gained 7! It's been yet another hard week for a lot of noderunners with a clogged mempool, expensive force closures, and chatoic macroeconomic times! We routed a blidtering 1,802 transactions this week weighing in at 97m sats! Almost double the transactions last week, and significantly higher revenues. Which was important this week as we had to CPFP two transactions twice to get them to open, and the FCs we had this week put us at our first net negative month since reopening RecklessApotheosis! Ouch, but it's still a pleasure to be routing so many transactions and to be a member of such an incredible community! Remember, you can always open up a channel to #RecklessApotheosis and we'll refund the first 300 sats of your opening fees and give you 0/0 routing fees for 30 days! Stay reckless and happy routing!

RecklessApotheosis is going down for a brief shutdown to upgrade some software and change some configuration values!

Happy #SatStackerSunday! RecklessApotheosis lost 2 channels this week and only gained 1. It was a slow week, especially compared with DeltaGap, only routing 573 transactions this week worth 72m sats. Slow weeks are good weeks to pick up new reading material and sharpen your perspecitve! This week we got the awesome SoftWar thesis by Jason Lowery! Remember, you can always open up a channel to #RecklessApotheosis and we'll refund the first 300 sats of your opening fees and give you 0/0 routing fees for 30 days! Stay reckless and happy routing!

Sorry for the downtime folks. I was working on installing a light fixture and flipped the node breaker looking for the light one, I powered it back up, logged in, and thought I'd unlocked the lnd, but I didn't. It's unlocked now, but it was offline while I was working on the light. Hopefully it didn't cost RecklessApotheosis any Force closures, at least the light looks good!

✨ channel with RecklessApotheosis was reactivated after 1H 26m

Happy #SatStackerSunday and for those that celebrate, happy Resurrection Sunday! We were busy last weekend, but in the past 2 weeks RecklessApotheosis lost 1 channel and gained 2. It was another slower week, routing 867 transactions this week worth 81m sats. We have some on chain funds that settled, so feel free to approach us for a dual-funded open! And remember, you can always open up a channel to #RecklessApotheosis and we'll refund the first 300 sats of your opening fees and give you 0/0 routing fees for 30 days! Stay reckless and happy routing!

Rebooting RecklessApotheosis to perform a software update, hang tight ⚡️ !
