How to run LND on Ubuntu

Zrzut ekranu 2018-03-22 o 11.22.26.png

1. You need Bitcoin Full Node:

$ sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install -y bitcoind

You need to edit bitcoin.conf [ I use nano] It's important to have set txindex.

$ nano ~/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf
txindex=1

Start Bitcoin.

$ bitcoind

Wait for the full synchronization.

2. Install lightning. Then run Bitcoin and Lightning.

$ sudo apt-get install -y autoconf automake build-essential git libtool libgmp-dev libsqlite3-dev python python3 net-tools libsodium-dev
$ git clone https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning.git
$ cd lightning
$ make

Before starting node you can edit config file.
$ nano ~/.lightning/config
alias=Enter Your Node Alias
rgb=000000
port=9735
network=bitcoin
log-level=debug
fee-base=100
fee-per-satoshi=1

Start Your node.
$ bitcoind & ./lightningd/lightningd

3. You need to add some funds to your node

$ ./cli/lightning-cli newaddr

4. Open channel to Poland :)

$ ./cli/lightning-cli connect 02de874acb4af41a685c112b68a30b67a2d5cdb57cd601c96b18ced1bc2699229d 176.115.25.48 9735
$ ./cli/lightning-cli fundchannel 02de874acb4af41a685c112b68a30b67a2d5cdb57cd601c96b18ced1bc2699229d 50000

Open channel to Poland? LOL Open channel to Bigaj :P

To nie artykuł tylko zrzut komend ;D
./cli/lightning-cli newaddr - on generuje nowy adres na ktory trzeba wyslac BTC?

Dokładnie dostajesz adres portfela BTC z którego tworzysz później kanały.

P.S. komendy bo chciałem by każdy w prosty sposób dał radę postawić LND.

Interesting.

very useful post, thanks!
