Backup and bullshit low level channel management.

Heck yeah man. Had the honor of learning how to build one directly on top of Linux with CLN, best decision ever.

What are your thoughts on voltage?

No, I tried. It was frustrating. I didn't understand enough yet, time involved in managing, constantly losing money, etc.

No never have, always wanted to. Sounded painful - channel costs and balancing and finding channel partners. Sounded too hands-on for my life.

I have an article in Stackchain magazine that walks you through how to set up a CLN node using Debian, how to set up tor, creating a script using inotify to watch the emergency.recover file and copy it to a mounted usb everytime a channel opens or closes.

Yes

right a lightning node? you mean write?

Yes, small scale but going good for more than a year now!

Just don't run LND, my 0.02. if you're a beginner use AlbyHub good training wheels. Pay for it in the cloud so you can get support and learn. its a learning curve and you will lose funds, so start with that. Good luck.

I like CLN, phoenixd, albyhub. Its hard enough don't add extra to make it harder

Since january 2019, tho the node was recycled a few times since then (theres even an old Casa node on my desk atm for ppl around long enough to remember that)
