Hello are you still running that LN testnet node?

I have one lnd node running now on testnet, was able to open some channels with other nodes, so please feel free to connect to my node here:

Code:

Very interesting! Did some (testnet) shopping at https://lightning.bitrefill.com

For anyone that wants to be ready for the Litecoin activation and start sending Litecoins over the Lightning Network, please find configuration details here: https://gist.github.com/sstone/4746992b6d0f53db2d55116e50cc4d03

Remember to download Litecoin-qt

Alright so Segwit is now going hot on Litecoin. Anyone up for testing Eclair lightning nodes on mainnet?

It only requires few modifications in the config files and we can get it running up against litecoin. Also alpha3 is out and has better management inside the lightning wallet.

I am willing to send the first Litecoin for free to anyone that wants to test this out with me.

Why not just use Paypal?

They fucked me over once in their early days, (around 2002?)

My plan is to put them out of business. Bitcoin/LN seems like a good way.

but somehow, a Blockstream(AXA)-controlled and 'regulated' side chain is going to be sooooo much better.

What? In what way does the lightning network that is open source, and is developed by 4 different independent teams in any way related to blockstreams sidechains? You come across as a clueless angry person, please stop hijacking our thread where we test the lightning network.

I'm glad you agree with me. (a lot of people seem to really hate LN for some reason)

Do you have an eclair LN node address to share? Don't forget to open port 9735 to your eclair client in order to accept incoming LN channels.

And let me know if you need some testnet coins.

Cheers!

The lightning network is not blockstream controlled nor is it regulated nor is it a sidechain.

I updated my LN nodes to eclair alpha2.

I set up a 3 node network, with each node accepting inbound connections. I attempted to establish a circular network where node A --> Node B --> node C --> back to node A.

The client software is extremely glitchy at this point. Sometimes nodes will connect, and other times, the nodes won't ever leave "WAITINGFORFUNDING" status.

Restarting the node and trying to click reconnect does nothing. I was never able to make a LN payment in this configuration.

I'll try this all again when they release another build.

Here's a screencap of successful payment between 2 nodes across the Internet.

Each node has ports 18333-->core and 9735-->eclair opened.

I think it worked. I send you some funds via another channel connected to you that routed the payment. Check if you can see it.

Hmm, not sure. I don't see a channel with a balance other than between my two nodes. (FYI, i have inbound ports 18333-->core and 9735--> eclair open)

here's some screenshots of the current state of my public node.

We are connected! Grin

Give me a payment request and I will send funds

payment request:

I'm a dummy. I cut and pasted the wrong one, lol. This is the one you sent me. Here's the correct payment request.

We need to coordinate this better, it seems testnet is buggy as hell and it kicks us off all the time and ruins our channel setup.

How about you drop by #lnd on freenode and we do it?

Looks like channel auto closed when we disconnected Sad

I made a new connection to you. Waiting for the 6 confs to go through and will then send you some coins.

The nodes seem to get stuck on WAITING_FOR_FUNDING_CONFIRMED sometimes. Then I have to restart the node and reconnect the "funding" node for it to switch to NORMAL.

I'm sending through your payment request even though your are OFFLINE. Maybe it will go through we you re-connect?

Looks like we have another node connecting...

Will get this up and running in a few hours again.

Will need to open the Eclair port too it seems.

It is also interesting if this works as we have both been online. If it does, it means our channel is forever established, unless we actively close it, and can keep on going off and on until we are both on to make transactions!

It's very cool! As I understand it, the funds used to open the channel stay locked in the 2 of 2 transaction (is that the right word?) until the channel is closed or forced closed.

I'm curious to know how the software behaves when trying to send amounts larger than the funding channel.

I tried to send larger than balance on regtest. It fails to send and does not allow it. I think it will behave the same way here as its hardcoded into the client we use.

I think funds will stay on the channel between us indefinitely or until we close it. Its pretty cool!
