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
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 and there are other benefits that come with this type of isolation. 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 as part of this quest. 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.
I guess I will add thunderhub instructions to my guide as well, once I figure it out myself..Original archived Re: 🔥 GingerWallet.io | LN Quest ⚡Up to 50 merits
