I lose a few channels a week, so need to look at new channels to open. Keep up with software releases ans execute upgrades, general checking for errors.

Sorry mate, #[4]​ mase me aware i didn’t specify i was talking about Bitcoin node, not lightning 😅

Oh, that's almost set and forget. Maybe so an upgrade once a year, that's it. If you have a flaky connection, might need to restart is occasionally.

Nice that was what i wanted to hear 😅

What do you want to use the node for? A node is only useful when you use it.

I want to use sparrow with my own node and also be part of the Bitcoin network ☺️

Just run bitcoin on your pc, unless it's really ancient. Much easier.

🤯 du i have to keep it always on?

No you don’t!

Nice, that’s great news actually 🙏

No, only if the machine's been off for a while it takes a bit of time to catch up.

A few seconds per block, so a day turned off takes maybe a minute or two.

So cool … it’s so cool to imagine that the processing of worldwide transactions can be done by you computer in minutes 🤯

Very good

The Bitcoin wallet software turns your PC into a node.
