Embrace Self-Hosting for Lightning Network Benefits
Engaging with the Lightning Network offers versatile options for users, either through self-hosted solutions or managed services. For self-hosting, the Zeus app stands out as a convenient mobile option, ideal for casual transactions like friend-to-friend payments, though it's not suited for continuous operations. For more stable and consistent use, particularly for businesses or streaming services, running a server with software such as Start 9 or Umbral is recommended. These platforms allow users to orchestrate various applications while maintaining control over their transactions. However, it's crucial to note that the Lightning Network requires the node to be online for receiving payments, due to its direct peer-to-peer architecture, distinguishing it from the Bitcoin network, which does not share this limitation. This approach minimizes reliance on intermediaries, enhancing user sovereignty over financial transactions.
