One year of nodeiversary of #Nodelou🐈 (v2.0) 🎉 Just over a year ago, Nodelou🐈 suffered a catastrophic hardware failure just shy of our three-year nodeiversary. We had no choice but to close all channels and rebuild the node completely. View quoted note → Today marks ONE YEAR on since block 870962 ushered in Nodelou🐈 v2.0 and the first ten channels were opened on the new hardware!! 
 With a megaton of help from other node runners in the community, we rebuilt Nodelou🐈 from the ground up on a baremetal server, with a fresh LND database running on clustered PostgreSQL database and synchronous replication for redundancy and ultimate reliability. View quoted note → As of today, Nodelou currently has 81 public channels, with a total routing capacity of 1,366,511,471 sats. In the past 365 days, with the help of some amazing channel peers, Nodelou🐈 has routed over 131,000 transactions on the #LightningNetwork, totaling nearly 454 BTC!!! Last 365d: – Transactions: 131241 – Total forwarded: 43384899953 sats (433.84899953 BTC) What began as a hobby project on my humble RaspberryPi, slowly turned into an obsession, and eventually a full-time occupation. It is mind-blowing that literally anyone can spin up a node and participate in the future of global finance. #noderunners #nodestrich ⚡Routing since block 706492⚡
