so let me get this straight if I'm self hosting LND, I'm going to need RTL to do node management. I find some good peers and open channels to maybe two of them. so I've got my two channels with a couple thousand USD tied up in outbound liquidity. or I pay an LSP to open a channel to me and have one outbound, one inbound. but I've got my node and a nice interface for managing it. so then if I want to access it remotely, and what's the point of having it if I can't? I need to install Lightning Terminal to generate a LWC pairing for Zeus. which at least pairs. but it only sees one channel as online and even still my LN balance is zero but that aside for the moment. I could also use LT for node and liquidity management I suppose, but it's seems more set up for professionals and routing nodes. RTL is much cleaner but it WON'T do the LWC pairing. That's just lightning Labs apparently. and then if I want to participate in nostr zaps or have a service online that generates invoices at all yum yum, I need to install AlbyHub to do Nost Wallet Connect and connect to them or to Zeuspay to handle generating invoices and connecting my nostr client to my node. or I could have Lnbits do the NWC stuff. but on my Start9 it seems like it wants to use a .local relay, which I don't have. so then I'm connecting my *local LNbits to a *clearnet VPS lnbits Instance (which theyll host for me for $7 a month). I tried setting one up but entering in the NWC pairing url from my local instance seems to have borked the VPS and my ability to set funding sources of completely disappeared. I'm thinking Alby avoids the necessity for this by letting everyone use their relay? Am I understanding this correctly? can somebody explain how I'm making this too complicated? TIA. #bitcoin #lightning
