Used initially via the command line through SSH.

Technically driven, but want to make it more user friendly.

Problems
- Bitcoin core is just an informational service of the blockchain. The funds are on lightning.
- How might we help people have the right mental model of their node.
- How might we structure the web frontend to parlay the correct mental model.
- People come with the idea of having a backup node
- People come who want to start fresh
- How might we ensure the setup is secure.
- Highly recomend Tor
- How might we help educate people about Tor.
- How tor protects their privacy with regards to lightning, bitcoin, and connecting to their node.
- How might we update raspiblitz and setup a new node using the existing data
- Some people may want to setup a new node but not want to have to re-download the blockchain data
- How might we help people choose which lightning implementation they want to setup their node with.
- How might we engage the communtiy
