My new #bitcoin node finally reached 100% synced overnight. It's taken six months and one hard-drive replacement to get synched.

The blocks are too big!

Need to set up Lightning next. My old node helped route like 1 transaction per year. Need to somehow figure out better places to make channels to in order to build a more useful node in the network.

Dunno how to do that currently. Anyone got any advice?

No advice sorry, but keen to hear how you get on with your lightning node. I've only earnt about 20 sats through routing fees on my node. Lots to learn
