One year of nodeiversary of #Nodelou🐈 (v2.0) 🎉
Just over a year ago, Nodelou🐈 suffered a catastrophic hardware failure just shy of our three-year nodeiversary. We had no choice but to close all channels and rebuild the node completely.

Today marks ONE YEAR on since block 870962 ushered in Nodelou🐈 v2.0 and the first ten channels were opened on the new hardware!!
With a megaton of help from other node runners in the community, we rebuilt Nodelou🐈 from the ground up on a baremetal server, with a fresh LND database running on clustered PostgreSQL database and synchronous replication for redundancy and ultimate reliability.

What began as a hobby project on my humble RaspberryPi, slowly turned into an obsession, and eventually a full-time occupation. It is mind-blowing that literally anyone can spin up a node and participate in the future of global finance. #noderunners #nodestrich
