Finally!

After a lot of doubt and overthinking

Also a lot of trial and error, I did it

I set up my Lightning⚡️Node and created a first (probably not the last) channel aswell 🥳

In hindsight it wasn’t all that difficult (easy to say now) but I guess that’s just me, I need to overthink a lot before taking the leap 🤷🏼‍♂️ 😅

Now I still need to get comfortable with all that, and I still don’t understand it to the fullest.

But I’m happy that I did it 🤩

Congrats!

Thanks 😄 I still have to learn a lot about that subject tho

good for you, good luck

Thanks. But like I said, still feels confusing tbh

it is confusing, happy to answer any questions ive been through it running lightning nodes.

I think I’ll come around with a few questions indeed 😅 thanks!

What was the perceived difficulty?

Difficult for me to understand 😅 and I still don’t understand to the fullest. Also, kinda difficult to open channels via the apps I found in the umbrel appstore, yesterday I tried again and again, and somehow it worked. Then I used this thing called Loop, to get some inbound liquidity (don’t quite understand that)

And after all, I don’t really understand the amounts I see in the nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 app. But I’m working on it

Let's goo ⚡
