LOL no way is it that painful or could it end that badly! And this is coming from someone who had to nuke their first node and build a second...but not a sat was lost.
nostr:npub137c5pd8gmhhe0njtsgwjgunc5xjr2vmzvglkgqs5sjeh972gqqxqjak37w might disagree 😅🤣
Yep, definitely can be dangerous. nostr:npub12gu8c6uee3p243gez6cgk76362admlqe72aq3kp2fppjsjwmm7eqj9fle6 and many others can relate too. Even the professional node runners had a ruggening (e.g. xmrk)

It has literally never been easier or cheaper...
This hurts to see... because it's true!!!
😥

My first lightning node was a Casa node. Never lost much much sats on it, but spent a lot of time recovering my node when it crashed.
Other than channel open/close fees thankfully I never lost anything major. I had a scare once during a force close where a couple million sats just seemed nowhere to be found even after the close had confirmed. The constant monitoring and backups were fun while learning and then got old pretty quick 😅
Tell me about it. Just got setup the other day, even just on Voltage it's much more involved than running your own regular full node. All the stuff to do with channels, a lot to learn.
💯😂 it’s a great way to learn about bitcoin. It’s worth the effort butu best advice is to keep the amount you put in channels low-ish until you are more comfortable running it.
Still haven't tried that yet, but its on the list.
The first, the second and the third. Lightning is janky as fuck. Never give up
OMG so true, the only sats I ever lost were on my first lightning node 😂
Yep
there is a subset of us that have run lightning nodes, gotten obliterated, shut down the node completely, yet have eventually come back for more and fired up a node again 🤣
Have not lost any yet, but please do tell how I'll mess up soon 😂
Specially if it's a CLN on Raspberry Pi 4 with 2 Gbs of RAM 😂
Lightning Node Secret #32:
The chainsaw chain stop kickback lever won't allow the chain to spin when it is being pulled (or pushed) forward like that.
Sir this is a meme
😅👌
It does feel like that sometimes.
