Getting #nostr relay to work — easy!
Getting #bitcoin node to work — easy!
Getting Lightning node to work — HARD!
Will keep at it, but it’s a lot more challenging than I expected. Too many potential failure points.

Nostr was a challenge for me until I got to know her a little bit, LOL. I have a lightning node working on my Umbrel home device running the Alby hub, and after a bit of fighting myself, I feel like I'm getting a pretty good understanding. The folks there at Alby are pretty responsive and helpful as I've experienced. I've got tons to figure out and understand yet but that will always be the case in technology. One day, I'll get old enough and just pitch it all and go outside. HAHA!
Thanks for sharing your journey. You didn’t need the Alby hub for the Lightning node, did you?
