My lnd node hasn't routed any payments (1 week + since initial setup) So I finally setup a lightning node (lnd) and according to "feereport" I haven't routed any payments (no fees collected).  I have used my node to send payments (yalls, satoshis.place, blockstream...) and also received payments (from my own Eclair wallet) and that works fine (multi hop routes).  I also tried lowering the fees my node charges, still no luck.  I also (gave away) pushed some remote balance to some channels to make sure I had some out going routes.  Any ideas?  What is the expected average number of routed payments over some time interval (I know this depends but I no idea what other people are seeing)?

I haven't received any fee payments. (...) Any ideas? Or is this expected?


Running a LN node does not guarantee you will collect fees. Fees are collected iff you route a payment for another user, so at this time it appears that no users have routed a payment through your node. 

Factors that could affect this: which nodes you are connected to, the liquidity of your channels, the online availability of your node, etc. 

Routing fees offer an interesting incentive, but remember the network is still young and not widely utilized. Right now, payments for routing transactions may be rare, but in the future... ?


  I also pushed some remote balance to some channels


Worth noting, this is equivalent to making a payment to the node you are connecting to. When the channel is closed, that remote node will be the recipient of the remote balance. So I hope you have made those payments for a reason, otherwise you have given away some of your BTC.
