 The simulator requires access details for a set of `nodes` that you 
 have permission to execute commands on. Note that the current version 
 of the simulator uses keysend to execute payments, which must be

+The required access details will depend on the node implementation. For LND, the following

 Payment activity can be simulated in two different ways:
 * Random activity: generate random activity on the `nodes` provided,
