I went cheap on my node at first and ran a raspberry pi. Worked great until I tried to run a lightning node on it. It always ~seemed~ to work well but in hindsight it seems most, if not all, of the channel force closures were due to weak hardware. I haven’t had any random force closures since upgrading from a pi.

Moral of the story is spend a couple hundred bucks and get legit hardware to run your node. In the long run it will be cheaper if it stops force closures #bitcoin #lightning
