Yes, is right that is not easy. But many forgot to specify WICH TYPE of LN node they should run: - PUBLIC - for public routing, that indeed require a lot of knowledge, resources and capital - PRIVATE - only for private use, with few private channels, connected to good LSP and done. I wrote several guides about these aspects, but who really want to learn more about Bitcoin MUST read. Bitcoin is not for the weak, is only for the breave ! 1. About nodes

Private/unannounced channels should be the default setting in every node implementation when opening new channels. Users should have to explicitly choose to make a new channel public, and their node implementation should warn them what that means and what routing is.
