Bitcoin operates thanks to a decentralised network of nodes whose job it is to maintain the network rules, known as consensus, and ensure all transactions and blocks are valid by keeping a copy of the entire history of the blockchain.
Setting up a Bitcoin & Lightning node can be a daunting task for those that aren't technical, but there are now a number of simple 'plug and play' style nodes like Umbrel, MyNode and Raspiblitz.
In this second episode of our Lightning series, I talk to RaspiBlitz developers Openoms and Rootzoll. We discuss the importance of running a node, tradeoffs between custodial and non-custodial wallets and the different node solutions available.
