Spending
Aimed for spending bitcoin cheaply and privately.
Capital requirement
low
depends on spending plan and available funds
allows to use up unmixed funds without creating change
Channels and peers
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
Liquidity
mostly local
Uptime
not a factor (spend only when online)
Management
close depleted channels
starting a new node often improves the onchain privacy
Examples
Privacy oriented: slides about Running a Lightning Node Privately
Use for social media like Sphinx chat
