BitBanana and CLN using gRPC

Services Support

Hi all,

I’m wondering is it possible to get BitBanana connected to my CoreLightning node? Zeus I don’t think is adequate - only because it takes forever to connect to node and use when you open it first, not really the ‘lightning’ experience I’m looking for.

Looks like BitBanana can use gRPC to connect to CLN, but Stat9 doesn’t include this method out of the box.

Is there a path forward for getting BitBanana connected via gRPC to my CLN node?

Thanks!

gRPC information is located at the bottom of the Core Lightning interface listings on your StartOS UI.

Still though, BitBanana will be as slow as Zeus because they both connect over Tor, this wasn’t a Zeus issue.

Thanks StuPleb - how necessary do you think tor is, is there a way to not use it to speed the whole thing up? Thanks.

Tor is currently the way we can access (or allow other things to access) our servers until v036 of StartOS… so even if we don’t need to like the privacy benefits, we don’t have a choice just yet.
