Question on running Node Launcher #494

Open ghost opened 2 years ago

ghost commented 2 years ago

Just a question on running node-launcher - do I run my BTC Full Node AND node-launcher at the same time, or just node-launcher?

I know the full node and LND are different, but do I only need to run one in order to have both?

Right now I am running both and there is no network traffic coming in/out of the full BTC node - is this normal until it syncs?

Node Launcher installs and runs an instanc of bitcoind and lnd.

If you already run an instance of bitcoind (your full node) then you have two instances of bitcoind running. You should review your setup

If you have a full bitcoin core running smoothly, can Node Launcher be configured to point to it?
