Which lightning node is best suited for deployment via btcpayserver (npub155m…dcvg) in 2024? LND or CLN? 🫢
A lot of the online comparisons seem to be years out of date... for example, LND now supports pruned nodes since version 0.13, which was a big reason to choose CLN on a small server...
I've spun up CLN so far, mostly because it's supposed to be kinder on resources than LND... but have found it almost impossible to run it with less than 4GB of ram, and there seems to be a bug that stops payments from server despite liquidity (Github: #6793).
The essential plugins (like rebalancing) are also not integrated already, meaning some hacking about with docker fragments etc.
So now wondering if I should have gone with LND... it seems to be better integrated with BTCPay, and is still (I believe) the more widely used node?
So before I tear it down and start over... which are you using and why?
