- Capital Expense of purchasing hardware. You should probably write it off over the useful life of that hardware. Remember as you get hooked you will spend on upgrades, redundant infrastructure, and so on.
- Operating Costs outside your control:
- Cost of internet bandwidth and electricity (minimal but still there is a cost)
- Cost of opening and closing a channel. These depend on the on-chain mining costs at that time. It is possible to open a channel at 1 sat/vb at times but the price on-chain can change in the future.
- Cost of rebalancing if you need to do. Ideally, if you operate a good node there will be two-way traffic but still rebalancing is something one has to do once in a while and the cost is variable and determined by the network.
- Cost of buying inbound liquidity if you cannot source it from plebs.
- Cost of loop out and other services you might use to operate your node.
