This is so satisfying. Soon I will have a fully functioning synced Bitcoin node on my Raspberry Pi. And next comes learning how to set up the Lightning node. New journies and new knowledge.

Hype! :O

ill be joining soon too, have a pi coming in the mail next week😎

Hell yeah! Be the network. Umbrel made it really easy for me. I don't mind typing in commands in a console but with Umbrel it's pretty turn key. Good luck with your Pi and socks too the relay/node club lol

Welcome to the #noderunner club.

Thanks, bro! Can't wait until this chain gets done downloading lol

Yeah, it takes a while. Patience my friend! 😁

What is the status?

Status is 'Watching grass grow speed'

Holy.... guess you finish it next week maybe... 😂

It's alright. Once it gets done I'm gonna start playing and see what I can do. This ought to be fun. Are you running a lightning node too?

May I open a channel to yours when I get the chance?

Sure! I'm also still learning how this all works but I'm happy to support the network.

Here's my node onion address - 02344fd35bc80f464d89451f17544108bc252936819e9319cdb646caa173a64bf9@ldfhv2kptfqweruqfnrk7gep4i4qyyicwoopswffgmuzfeypz72smhqd.onion:9735

Is this what you need to open a channel to me?

opening....

You da man! Thanks bro! Now I need to get more channels and put some more BTC in.

You can do triangular swaps with 3 or more people on lightningnetwork plus.

I'm doing that lol. I already am in one swap. I need more capital to do others. All in good time.
