Aimed for spending bitcoin cheaply and privately.
- low
- depends on spending plan and available funds
- allows to use up unmixed funds without creating change
- one channel to a well connected, capitalized and high uptime node is a good start, see the Bos list, Lightning Terminal or Amboss.space to pick a peer
- use private channels to avoid publishing the node and the funding transactions
- offline private channels don't damage the reliability of the network
- mostly local
- not a factor (spend only when online)
- close depleted channels
- can refill via LN
- starting a new node often improves the onchain privacy
