This is also the first time I hear someone that uses signet. I tried to find out what benefits it offers compared with testnet and came across this bitcoin.wiki piece. It mentions that the network is centralized but more reliable. It offers users ways to try out double spend attacks. One of its advantages seems to be less block reorgs and more frequently mined blocks compared to the testnet environment.

@emesik Check the wiki article I linked to above. It says:

There is a command line tool you can use to get coins directly to your instance of Signet, assuming you are on the default network. You can also use the faucet online with an address of yours

Using the command line tool
The tool is in contrib/signet and is called getcoins.sh. You can optionally provide a path to bitcoin-cli using --cmd=[path] and a compatible faucet using --faucet=[url] followed by any number of arguments to bitcoin-cli. The script attempts to autodetect these if left out.

$ cd ../contrib/signet
$ ./getcoins.sh -datadir=../../src/signet

Is there a particular reason you're using signet? It's actually the first time I read about it, and it looks like faucets are pretty much the way to go.
I've used "regular" Bitcoin testnet in the past, and Eclair it allowed me to open much smaller LN channels.
Update: I just checked: opening a testnet channel in Eclair to ACINQ NODE takes a minimum of 0.001tBTC.

Hi,

I'm testing LN on the signet. Faucets pay out amounts approx 0.001 BTC and to fund a channel I'm being requested at least 0.1 BTC.
How can I obtain such amount?

The lnd wallet address is tb1quzeqkss99csew8x23k3upg0dz2fazww9sc5kl8 just in case someone could help me with 0.1 BTC.
