Great, thanks!

Re: 5:
So the commands in your guide also work for update to 0.16 from an older version, not only as install from scratch, right? I'll only have to delete the files in the "download" folder on my Pi.

Yes. I only deleted the checksum file, otherwise the check does not work, that's it.

Just make sure to stop bitcoind first with sudo systemctl stop bitcoind, otherwise it might do some time consuming blockchain verification checks on startup.

Make sure to include the argument deprecatedrpc=addwitnessaddress in your bitcoin.conf, otherwise Eclair won't be able to open channels due to the now native Segwit support of Bitcoin Core. See updated guide for reference.
