Transactions on LN aren't public as for on-chain transactions, but a node can only see the ones it routes and the the one from/to itself
Because its, there are not reliable data around

Yes. The relay should never contact other relays and allow only the key of the people you want them join

No tutorials to give, but you can check the LDK if it suit your needs:
https://lightningdevkit.org/blog/ldk-an-sdk-for-the-lightning-network/
Also, you can give a look to the source code of some non-custodial #Lightning wallet like #Zeus and #Breez

Speaking of space taken, i have no experience with a #Nostr relay (yet), but i know the #Bitcoin ledger will use a total of 1TB in the next 3 years, which should help when plan an upgrade

#Bitcoin is scarce for the Earth planet.
All nodes have 10 minutes for have the ledger synced, which means this is the time the new block have to travel to all the nodes
This distance is trivial within Earth, but it became a problem with interplanetary distances
The avarage distance beetwen Earth and Mars is 12-13 light minutes, so a #Bitcoin node on Mars will be always chase the sync never reaching it. This is a big problem, because while you CAN make transactions with a non-synced ledger, you CANNOT do mine operarions
For today technology, the heart of #Bitcoin will be on Earth, and other extra worlds settlements might try to use new cryptocurrencies (but, remembet that those currencies will not have the advantage to grow organically)

With a lightning node, you won't need Alby. Your node will have its address
All lightning nodes have a lightning address, which is PUBKEY@ADDRESS:PORT
What you wont have is a human readable address like [email protected] (you can configure it but require extra work)

For NIP stuff, i would suggest to check https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips
If a blockchain can sustain the traffic created by people zapping eachother, that blockchain have probably really big large size blocks and cannot be sustainable in the long term

Technically speaking, #Nostr protocol can be expanse with NIP, as the current internet can be expanse using RFC or #Bitcoin throught BIP
So, #Nostr might be expanse for other L1 payment.
However, you can't zap/tip anyone with a L1 chain. Even with #Bitcoin. It's the #LightningNetwork, builded upon #Bitcoin, who can sustain many fast and small payments.

Assuming the majority of miners are compromised, they still must burn energy to operate. If they will start to censure transactions, those ones will start to grown in fee. Miners cannot simply start ignore big fee because, as they pay their bills. Even if they manage to do it, someone else will try to mine those transactions (as before, for high fee)

For a lung run, an hardware wallet is suggested. Also, you are not bound a specific software wallet when using an hardware wallet (the software must still be compatible)
#ColdCard and #SeedSigner are DYI hardwallet, and #BitBox02 is a good commercial wallet if you prefer a more ready-to-go wallet
The choise of the software wallets will be based by the hardwallet choice.
#Sparrow is a good desktop wallet, as #BlueWallet for Android

None. Any "trade operations" with those cryptotokens is just overcomplicated gambling and stealing other people values. It is now boring.
Most the people around #Bitcoin are literraly working for a better world, so it deserve all our support, and criticism where needed. No more attentions must be spared with useless "alternative"

you technically can. However, every year will increare the threat of bugs and malware that might steal/expose your private key. Are you sure this wallet is designed to outstand the test of time?
Also, will be your device still operational in 15 years? Will be the substitute device compatiple with Blue Wallet?
The right question, how much you are confidend and risk adverse
Perfect security doesn't exists, and the target for good-enough security always change

"Transaction is dust"=The amount of bitcoin you want use to open the channel is LESS than the fee you have to use for open it (every opening and closure of a channel is bitcoin multisignature transaction 2-of-2)
Even with mimimal fee, i reccomand you to not open a channel so small.
How resolve the issue: you need to allocate more sats to your node via on-chain transaction. i want suggest at least 100000 sats for open a channel if you plan to use it for just spend and receive sats

Remember that Plprivate channels cannot be used for routing
If they are used for sending out, then is the mysterious node that is creating the path
If they are receving, they added to the invoice an hint for the sending node on how find the path
In both scenario, i struggle to see what information you can gather from the attacched nodes

It a process who require times. Closed source products live as long the corporation behind stay alive and want keep it alive.
Open source products can, in theory, be eternal and always upgraded.
What we can do is try to propose alternatives to clients when is possible and support the development of the open source solutions we want to use.
In the end, for clients what matters its the cost and if can call someone when a issue appear. Simplier solutions and easy to mantain, for dev and admin, might be the selling point

Thank you for sharing.
I'm still studying the subject, but i would like to share some considerations i have not see mentioned yet:
There is no incentive to run a cashu mint node to provide service for others. This happens to when you decide to run a #Bitcoin node, as the incentive is for support the network and have a trusted source of information. With the #LightningNetwork you can operate it as a payment router and get fee from it.
However, the easy onboarding capability of cashu allow cashu node operator to become trusted party for others.
In a family, maybe you are the "tech guy" who can use #Bitcoin and #Lightning easily, but what about your parents, brothers, uncle...can they?
Probably yes with the right training, but this require times. What of you want give money to your son or daughter, but they are too young to understand layer one and two?
With cashu, i can say "you can trust it as long you trust me", be the beacon for friends and relative.
The same concept can be used for small community.

more nodes means less chanche to get the network down by external force (governament, natural distater, power outage)
Also, you have the ability to query your own node for informations in a private way and dont trust third services for that

Remember that the second layers are fine for small and medium transactions. Larger one still require the layer one, and thats in an incentive to settle transaction
If there will be "few transactios", then the fee can't stay high for long. If they drop, more people will prefer send values here and not on second layer, increasing demand for blockspace. Is a cycle.
For my understanding, miners who are gone out of business its because they expanded more of what the current price allowed
