Oddbean new post about login | logout GM! There is something emotionally magical about using your own lightning mode to buy something from another nostrich. Decentralization is increasing one humble step at a time. Oh and Core Lightning forever. LND can take their shitcoins and shove it.
LND has shitcoins?
They are focused on using Taproot to bring stablecoins and other assets to lightning rather than things that are imo much more important like Bolt12
Is there something about stablecoins on lightning that are somehow not compatible with bolt12? We can’t have both? Genuinely asking
My pleb understanding is that you can have both. It’s just a matter of time, focus, and resources. Taproot assets is just an enormous amount of work and lightning devs don’t grow on trees.
CLN is terrible
Have you tried on Start9 or Umbrel? Besides one freeze scaring me since CLN uses the hsm secret rather than a typical seed phrase(which imo wasn’t a real issue since it just needed a restart and was never truly in danger), I’ve never had an issue with CLN.
Tried it in start 9 and it was terrible! I was using RTL to operate it and channels wouldn’t open
Hmm weird. I’ve never tried with RTL so I cannot speak to that. I’ve only used the CLN app itself, which to be fair is fairly basic. The default CLN app has never had a hiccup though beyond one freeze, though I think that was a hardware issue.
What’s your hardware?
Start9 on a start9 purchased device. If you have a rasberry pi it doesn’t surprise me if lightning doesn’t work well(especially as you add and actively run more and more apps). Would strongly recommend using at least an Intel NUC style device with an SSD, and I think buying an actual start9 device is also a great way to support the project.
I agree 1000% pi nodes are terrible
