Resolved -> RTFM
Worked like a champ, first try. Thanks! Wish I had thought to look into that
sooner! My c-lightning node’s resource footprint is even smaller now. Unfairly
small.
And now that I’ve unexpectedly regained ~180 GB worth of free SSD space from
not having that extra full node, I’m

Somewhat related question -
In the interest of avoiding running multiple bitcoind full nodes - is there
a method to allow a Lightning node to point to / access a separate
already-existing node, vs. requiring it to have its own dedicated local
instance of bitcoind running?
I.e. if I already have

Apologies for a noob question.
But if I understand correctly, lightning nodes need to check if a
counterparty is broadcasting an old channel state and in response broadcast
a penalty/justice transaction. Does that mean lightning nodes only need to
watch for transactions that come after the

Good morning karl and Segue,
Specifically for c-lightning, we are not yet rated for pruned bitcoind use,
although if you installed and started running bitcoind before installing the
lightningd, caught up to the chain, and then installed lightningd and set
things up so that bitcoind will get
That is a good observation that most of the historical data does not need
to be kept around. I believe what you are suggested is already implemented,
however. Bitcoin Core can operate in a pruned mode, where the bulk of the
historical block data is discarded and only the current UTXO set (and a
He can use pruning to only store the last X MB of the blockchain. It
will store the UTXO set though, which is a couple of GBs. In total, a
pruned node with pruning set to 1000 MB ends up using 4.5 GB
currently, but it varies slightly due to the # of UTXOs in existence.
