I mean I'm sure it's possible with Pi, and Zeus, and all that other stuff but if I was ever going to self host lightning I'd rather use an umbrel, or a start9 that makes it retard proof. I don't want to scroll through 50 documents, and set up watch towers, and manage utxo outputs, and coinjoin whirlpool over tor, etc. I'd rather just click a button, and have all that shit done automatically. That or just use the easiest thing in the world, Monero. Which you obviously already know about but for those other plebs scrolling by, reading this. Just use the thing with simpler ui, and a bigger anonymity set.

It’s a total myth that you can't run a Bitcoin/Lightning node on a Raspberry Pi. It’s actually one of the most cost-effective sovereign setups you can build. This bad boy (my Pi 5) has been running my Lightning node flawlessly for two years. I just decided to switch from a pruned node to a full archival node. I restarted the sync from scratch, and less than 24 hours later, I’m already over a third of the way through the chain. Zero interruptions to my Lightning channels. I just flipped LND into Neutrino mode so it stays online and routing while the heavy Bitcoin sync chugs along in the background. If you use a cheap MicroSD card, you’re gonna have a bad time. Plug in a basic USB SSD and it absolutely flies. At ~5-10 watts of power draw, this whole setup costs maybe $15 to $30 a year in electricity to run 24/7. Pretty cost effective.

Good 4 u. Ur like one of a hand full 👍
