Okay total noob question, is it possible to have one lnd node set up in two locations, basically a back up for my node, in case of a internet, electrical outage, upgrades. Etc

I’ve been asking about ‘failover’ for LN nodes for years. Haven’t heard a thing.

I want to say no, but not 💯 sure... The reason I say this is because if one of the nodes lost connection and then came back online with old channel states then the other node might stay force closing

Appreciate it 🤙🏾

“You should never run two different lnd nodes with the same seed! Even if they aren't running at the same time. This will lead to strange/unpredictable behavior or even loss of funds.”

Appreciate the info 💜

Just make a node in aws running as active/passive
