I'd contribute hash. If we wanted to go the Ocean route, I think the node needs to run on Knots (which mine does not).
Yes, it's an added complication. To get LN payouts you need to run core lightning at this time.

That's also true.
I believe even their block construction protocol requires a Knots bitcoin node.
I, also not being hugely technical, am facing too much inertia for making the switch from Bitcoin core. Theres too much I'm be afraid I'd be at risk of 'breaking'
@BitcoinMechanic are there any guides that maybe pertinent here?
reply
The Ocean web site has really good guides. I was all set up with knots and datum running great last week.
Then... my Start9 went whacky. Nothing is running now. Start9 support has been great. I'm currently syncing the chain for bitcoin core again. They think it's a hardware issue. Once I'm confident in my equipment I will try again.

Did you switch over from Core?

precisely what I'd like to avoid.
reply
I did switch from core. I think I had underlying hardware problems which caused my struggles. On Start9 switching from core to knots wasn't really difficult. It is cool to see how much control knots gives you.

I found this note, emph. mine:
NOTE: We recommend setting up your Bitcoin Node with Bitcoin Knots as it has more template controls than CORE.
I read that as: even if you wanna run Peter's libre-relay that's cool too. Maybe @BitcoinMechanic can confirm.
