Part 2:

watch a semi-normie hack together nodes and relays for himself and the people. (My kids helped too!)

I’ve assembled the node, currently syncing BTC chain. Should I also download lightning, or should I wait until the node is sync’d?

Cool, but you'll need to wait for the sync to finish to set up lightning 🤙

I'd wait. You could always download/build and configure, ready for sync to tip.

Thank you all for the info!!

Yes I just set this up myself yesterday!

Are you using Umbrel or MyNode or something else? Probably just best to wait for the IBD (Initial Block Download) to complete and then once you're at 100% start playing around with the other apps your node may have...including LN and others.

Umbrel. And that what I’ve done, I tested the relay and now I’m waiting. Tick tock…

Umbrel syncs pretty quickly. Patience is a virtue. You'll eventually be able to set up you own NOSTR relay through Umbrel if you want. Good stuff! And congrats on alllllmost being a node runner.

And, thank you! 🌩️

you better wait
