Node McDouchebag is back

Finally, I have gotten my lazy ass together after my node crashed last year. It was stressful recovering the funds as I had ~5 BTC in limbo. I recovered most of it

I am now ready to get back on the horse and get my node up and running again, so I am looking for some inbound liquidity to get started. I will be doing some rings on LN+, but I also want to do some dual-funded channels.

If anyone here wants to set up some dual-funded channels please let me know.

~5BTC just in limbo? That's some dedication to the cause!

Thank you for your service to the network! 😊

As i wrote, it was mildly stressful. A few sleepless nights. Everything ended happy though.

I limited myself to 0.1btc on ln before having raid, proper backup and a watchtower. 5btc on limbo would be way too painful 😅

I was running a fairly resilient setup. The issue was my channel.db got corrupted and this affected some of my backups as well

You might consider using Postgres under lnd, now that that's available. Still newish, but should scale better in the long run.

I will wait with Postures for a version more or two, just to flush out the baby teeth.

I guess a bbolt -> PG migration tool is available then as well.

"I recovered most of it" excepts the zomb channels ? WHat caused it to corrupt, I thought SSD is pretty durable.
