⚡️ Top 26 Lightning Network Tools to Help You Run Your Bitcoin Node

Published 2021-07-27
⚡️ ⚡️ These days, it seems like everybody is setting up their very own routing node using one of the easy-to-use plug-and-play solutions out there (such as getumbrel.com/).

So, great, you have your Lightning Node set up, and you've funded it with some play money. But, uh, now what?

In this video, I'm going to share with you the top 26 tools, apps, websites, and strategies I used to go from "total n00b" to TOP 100 routing node in just 6-8 weeks!

I'll explain some of the concepts YOU need to know to successfully run a Bitcoin Lightning Network routing node, and how I use each of these tools to increase my success.

    What are YOUR favorite Lightning Network Tools? I'm always looking to learn about new ones! Share below.
  • @ZoTrAcK
    Big thanks Jonathan! All your videos about Lightning are freaking gems! I've watched them many times to let all the info sink in.
  • @voltage_cloud
    Tremendous value and education helping others learn about Lightning! Nice work!
  • Jonathan, I finally ordered a Raspberry Pi 4 for the purpose of setting up a lightning node and I'm so glad I found this video. You really packed it in. Great job! Subscribed.
  • @rogerwprice
    Big thank you for all this information and your infectious enthusiasm!
  • @jsmith668
    All good I think I’ll wait I hope other people would more computer knowledge will run notes
  • @evilolive3538
    What is the difference between inbound liquidity and outbound liquidity (at the protocol level) can I use circular rebalancing to use in bound liquidity (that I purchased for cheap) from one of my channels to set right the outbound liquidity of another channel of mine. If yes, does this mean that, if i purchase in bound liquidity, i can do circular rebalancing to use that purchased liquidity for out bound payments??
  • @karimhindawi333
    Hi Jonathan, Do you have advice on what specific hardware do I need to run a node? Is there a correlation between PPM earnings and Hardware Specs?
  • @MyNegativeCreep
    Do you have a good tutorial link for installing LN Node on ubuntu?
  • Two problems (out of two apps I attempted to use, so maybe it's me): 1) Lightning Network Plus: I can't get my node to recognize peers using the node information posted on the site. Get errors like "no suitable addresses found" 2) LNBIG: I "purchased" the inbound liquidity (over 12 hours ago). But so far I see nothing. Is something up, or am I just impatient?
  • @anindyasayan
