there is no "lightningd", there is LND though, as well as c-lightning libraries

lightningd is the c-lightning executable file

LONG times for the initial sync.

Takes a few hours on a properly configured desktop machine (with +10 Mbit/s internet). Do that first on an external disk, then plug that external disk into your RasPi, saves alot of time

it seems the Daemon is running...but anyone know what the #'s mean or can tell me how much longer I can expect this to take I'd be grateful. Also I assume I cannot run "$ lightningd" command until this thing is done?

I think it just needs time to sync. Sometimes it can take a LONG time.

Also, there is no "lightningd", there is LND though, as well as c-lightning libraries. I havent used c-lightning, but getting LND up and running with bitcoind on raspbian wasn't that difficult. Other than the LONG times for the initial sync.

I find it strange to see debug output on the console... I have written a service script to automatically (re)start my daemon in case of a reboot or a crash, but if i remember correctly from the last time i manually started a daemon, the output was minimal....

Like the others have said, the output of the debug.log and the content of bitcoin.conf (minus username, password or tiken) could help...

It might also be a good idear to give some extra info: which walktrough were you following, which lightning daemon were you installing, were you installing on a physical machine or on a vps (+specs).

If you used the default ports following command should also work to check if bitcoind is running (it checks which process is listening on port 8333):

lsof -i :8333

Or,
ps -ef | grep bitcoin
But you already tried this if im not mistaking

Ps: i'm not @ the office, so any command or recommandation i give is from memory... Typo's can happen

To get the status of how synced is your blockchain copy run

tail -f ~/.bitcoin/debug.log

bitcoind prints to the debug.log file the current block height and the % of progress while it's syncing. If the progess is at 1.00 it means you're done and your node is running.

be constructive or S.T.F.U

this does not seem like daemon is running, did you try

Code:

bitcoin-cli getinfo

or

Code:

bitcoin-cli getblockchaininfo

also you should post the bitcoin.conf info

I am trying to install a lightning node on a linux mint OS. I have gotten to the past where I enter:

$ bitcoind -daemon 2018-12-30T21:09:08Z Bitcoin Core version v0.17.0.0-ge1ed37edaedc85b8c3468bd9a726046344036243 (release build) 2018-12-30T21:09:08Z InitParameterInteraction: parameter interaction: -whitelistforcerelay=1 -> setting -whitelistrelay=1 2018-12-30T21:09:08Z Assuming ancestors of block 0000000000000000002e63058c023a9a1de233554f28c7b21380b6c9003f36a8 have valid signatures. 2018-12-30T21:09:08Z Setting nMinimumChainWork=0000000000000000000000000000000000000000028822fef1c230963535a90d 2018-12-30T21:09:08Z Using the 'sse4(1way),sse41(4way),avx2(8way)' SHA256 implementation 2018-12-30T21:09:08Z Using RdRand as an additional entropy source Bitcoin server starting

it seems to be running or synching? I don't even know....through searching I found that I could type this command to find out what is going on
