Core guide structure
The "core" guide is defined as a basic set of guides on how to set up the Raspberry Pi and install a core set of Bitcoin and Lightning tools. It is structured as follows:
- Intro: what is the project and why should you care?
- Backstory: original motivation
- Raspberry Pi: set up the system
- Bitcoin: run Bitcoin Core, Electrum server, and a blockchain explorer
- Lightning: run LND including web-based node management
The Bonus Section is still being updated to the new setup.
