I just got a lightning node up and running with this guide - https://medium.com/lightning-power-users/windows-macos-lightning-network-284bd5034340

Wasn't too difficult to get going. I would rate myself a 1/10 in technical abilities so i'd say almost anyone could do this.

Good luck!
Thanks I will try this also. I just download a stand alone app here: https://github.com/lightninglabs/lightning-app/releases

Lets see if it work

eclair says that core is not in JSON mode even with the info I have about settings in bitcoin.conf.

What about your Eclair config? Did you enter your RPC credentials into it?

LND node says bitcoin.active must be set even if done,

And what's the problem here? You have to set bitcoin.active to 1 and bitcoin.testnet to 0 in the LND config file. RPC credentials should be obtained automatically (at least that's how it is done on Linux).
1) I used the config files of ecalir and bitcoin as given in the article

2) Yes I set bitcoin.active

And now ??

eclair.api.enabled   Enables the JSON API

It needs to be in the eclair.conf file
It deafults to false. Adjust it and it should go fine from there.
Read it up and more here https://github.com/ACINQ/eclair/wiki/Configure

Hi,
I have read some medium articles about starting a node in windows. But with even with some coin experiance it does not work.
eclair says that core is not in JSON mode even with the info I have about settings in bitcoin.conf. , LND node says bitcoin.active must be set even if done, c-lightning I dont find windows node....

I want all to give a chance, but its not worth taking ours to start.

Anyone good manual or solution.

Otherwise I will prune again my BTC wallet to save space  Wink
Thanks for help
