Node Academy: Chapter 8 - Prepare for Disastor

In this session, we delve into the nightmare scenario for every Lightning node operator: a node disaster. From database corruption, node deletion due to unpaid bills, to migration errors, we cover the most probable disaster scenarios. Learn essential preventative measures like depositing sats on time, using quality SSDs, and exercising caution during node migrations. Always back up your seed manually for safety. Familiarize yourself with the static channel backup located in ~/.lnd/data/chain/bitcoin/mainnet, which acts as a distress signal to peers. Discover how to grab this file via command line and verify its validity. Remember, in the event of a disaster, NEVER delete your data. Keep everything, particularly the .lnd directory. Stay prepared!
