Tech Assistance Requested: 🛠️⚡ I'm navigating the fascinating world of #Bitcoin and the #LightningNetwork with a Raspberry Pi 5, running Raspberry Pi OS alongside #Umbrel.
My goal is to establish my own Lightning Network POS system to facilitate payments for services provided.
So far, #Zeus nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 seems to be the best app for this task, yet I'm encountering a recurring issue: intermittent connectivity to my Lightning Node/Core node, which hampers reliability.
Furthermore, I'm exploring the use of a lightning address (beitmenotyou@lifpay.com) to streamline tipping via Nostr, aiming for a setup that directs funds straight to my node without a hitch.
I'm reaching out to the #Nostr community for insights and solutions.
How can a non-programmer like myself ensure consistent node accessibility and integrate a lightning address effectively for direct node payments?
Any guidance, tools, or alternative approaches you can recommend would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your support and wisdom! 🙏

Big topic. Some random thoughts.
Resiliant Hardware. Not sure if pi5 is of doe the task. I would consider ups (universal power supply), backup Internet connection and raid 1 hard drive setup.
Inbound liquidity will be crucial for you. I would look into liquidity pools to guarantee people can send you sats.

Monitoring will be important. Consider woofbot app and https://bolt.observer/
Thanks really appreciate I'll check that out
