The discussion originates from the suggestion to create a public facing page or gist that outlines the requirements for volunteers interested in setting up new nodes for a project, highlighting the need for clarity and step-by-step instructions.

The conversation indicates that while some individuals, like Peter, may not see the necessity for new setups, there is a consensus on using current and default installations of Core/btcd along with lnd/cln/ldk. The email raises several pertinent questions regarding the specifics of setting up these nodes, such as the required amount in channels, the number of channels needed, whether channels of specific types are necessary, and if volunteers should establish channels amongst themselves. Additionally, it inquires about the desired network topology and whether aspects like network connectivity and the use of Tor are significant.

The sender expresses a lack of detailed knowledge about the discussions surrounding these attacks, indicating that their questions may stem from a place of limited understanding but genuine curiosity and willingness to contribute effectively to the project. This inquiry underscores the importance of clear communication and detailed guidance in collaborative projects, especially those involving technical setups and contributions from volunteers with varying levels of expertise.
