This is really amazing, I would love to participate but I don't know if this can be done on PC(Laptop). I'm not very conversant with running nodes. I would appreciate your feedback
Requirements for running this node is
Disk Space - 600/700GB Free
Ubuntu OS - If you follow the guidelines satofan44 created earlier on the forum

If you don't have much disk free you can go for LND on Neutrino mode , cause it doesn't require full bitcoin core download. It's only for testing perpose. In neutrino mode there is risk to not getting synced properly, Channels may not work. I saw there was a complete video tutorial on Youtube from scratch to run a complete node. Maybe it's based on Ubuntu OS
Thanks for the mention.  Smiley I would like to add for Windows users that you can already follow the guide by creating a virtual machine and installing Ubuntu in it. You can use Oracle VirtualBox which is free, and creating a virtual machine is much easier than it is to set up a lightning node. You only need a couple of minutes really, there are plenty of videos on YouTube that show how to set one up. I think that it is a good idea to do this, because you can get some Linux practice at the same time.

I've made some updates and installation instructions for all 3 main software is available. Now I have also added instructions to open a channel with LND as I was trying to do that for the first time as well. LND works fine for me, and now I want to try Thunderhub with it. I can only say that the official docs are abysmal. One of the worst things I have ever seen as a guide. Those located here https://docs.thunderhub.io/setup.

It just says you need this and that, and that is it. Deal with it yourself.  Cheesy
