I tried getting a lightning node running. It was the most annoying thing I ever worked on. Very frustrating.

Was any part of the process most difficult?

Being on a Mac. The software I was using kept saying LND wallet password invalid. I have no wallet yet, I couldn’t create one, I don’t have a password. And there was not enough documentation.

The. When I tried to reverse my mess. My node and sparrow wallet didn’t want to communicate the same way, and spent more hours to get those to talk to each other as they were.

Of course I ended up connecting them in a completely different way after that.

Oh wow 😳

Thanks for sharing and #LOL learning out loud 🤙

Ministry of nodes has great tutorials on this to make it easy or just use mynode start9 umbrel etc

I’ll check it out. Thanks. I guess the challenge I had is that I am using a Mac.

Could be a pain in the ass if your mac isn’t always on and running - I use a dedicated raspberry pi and it works well enough for like $200 bucks
