| Aug 30, 2018 at 8:04 | comment | added | chytrik | I do not believe there is currently any implementation of a combo full node / lightning node, but I see no reason one couldn't exist, at least in theory (it may be a bad idea for security reasons, etc). But otherwise, yes, the lightning node will communicate with a full node (preferably, one run by the lightning node operator). | |
