The new #Nodestrich node is now fully synced, and the blockchain is 600 GB.

Letting this sit for a couple of days before attempting channel migration, which is still the critical step.

Need to make sure this is handled flawlessly as to not accidentally close all my channels, which was the purpose of this adventure.

congrats and great job

I need to spin up a new Umbrel node backup here soon too! Hope it goes well!

GL! 😍

Im so glad I did a 4tb ssd instead of a 2tb. IPFSpodcasting and Bitcoin use 700gb.

2 TB seems like it will last me a while. I’m sure it will be years before I need to worry about that.

You doing a CLN migration? or just to umbrel?

Great job πŸ‘πŸΌ

I’ve always had this doubt: is it strictly necessary to download the entire #Bitcoin blockchain to one node?

Yes, but it’s also possible to run a pruned node that doesn’t contain all the data. Lightning requires a synced blockchain to maintain the network state.

Thank you for your answerπŸ«‚
