Washingtons NFT

Washingtons, NFT with staking.

Mint a Washington

  • Limit of 2 minted per wallet. Transfer out to mint more.
  • No limit to number that can be staked afaik.
  • Staked Washingtons get unstable dollars per day.

WIP, been a slow minting after launch. Seems like most high volume NFT launches involve buying their own tokens and artificial hype.

Rare traits

Getting a 2:1 or greater risk-reward ratio on LN node and channels

Getting a 2:1 or greater risk-reward ratio on LN node and channels

WIP

Lets say a user wants to spin up a node with 0.1 btc, open a few channels, and generate routing fees.

How do they calculate a risk/reward ratio (RR) that makes economic sense?

What else can they do to improve the calculation, such as compartmentalising risk into discrete chunks which can be evaluated independently?
