I’m calling BS.  &#xA;&#xA;I’m an average pleb without a technical background.  I set up my bitcoin node, lightning node and a couple of channels. It was a weekend project, and a lot of fun. &#xA;&#xA;The best part was I didn’t do it alone. The team at Start9 was incredible, and through their Telegram channel they walked me through any issues I ran into ( #[0] , #[1] , #[2] )&#xA;&#xA;#[3] , #[4] , #[5] , and the rest of the #Nodestrich crew were incredibly helpful in getting my lightning channels up and running with lots of inbound liquidity. I highly encourage you to reach out to any one of them if you’re thinking about starting your own non-custodial lightning node.&#xA;&#xA;Give me your thoughts below. Are you an average pleb node-runner or do you plan to be? Do you think non-custodial lightning will take off or is it too complicated?&#xA;&#xA;✌️⚡️</html></oembed>
