## Common questions about the different Lightning Network implementations
### Can LND and C-lightning nodes open channels to each other and route payments?
* Yes, all [BOLT specification](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lightning-rfc) compliant implementations can open channels to each other and route payments.
### Can I run LND and C-lightning connected to the same node?
* Yes, both can run parallel on a RaspiBlitz and even have channels witch each other.
### Can I convert an LND node to C-lightning (or the opposite)?
* No, currently there are no tools available to convert between the databases storing the channel states.
The channels would need to be closed to use the same funds in an other node.
### Is there a table to quickly compare LND and C-Lightning?
* see [github.com/openoms/lightning-node-management/blob/master/node-types/comparison.md](https://github.com/openoms/lightning-node-management/blob/master/node-types/comparison.md)

```
sudo cat /home/bitcoin/.lightning/bitcoin/hsm_secret | xxd
```
