Title: Can anyone provide an example of the Lightning Network in action?
Post by: binimal on February 24, 2023, 05:44:07 PM
For learning and later teaching purposes I am having  trouble to find a full video or gif example of BTC beings used for peer-to-peer transfers (not commerce) from (this is key) BTC wallet, to opening a LN channel with a peer using a Lightning Wallet, closing then channel, and then re-transdering to a purely BTC wallet (where most self custodians would like to have their BTC). Anyone willing to help?

I think that a full example like that will be of much use for later teaching (friends and fellow merchants) purposes. Thanks!

Lightning network is not yet so simple to use for people who are beginners with bitcoin network.

But you can find this excelent guide here by Rath_

Electrum Lightning Network walkthrough

There are many screenshots making it easy to understand.



I know there is a wallet which makes it easy to use that is called Muun ( i never used it https://muun.com/)

Thanks for the Electrum guide mate, thus I was thinking more of a guide making use of more resent developments in usability that new Lightning wallets mean for the average user or merchant like Breeze of Wallet of Satoshi, but I will keep looking or will make a guide myself if search ends with no results on that respect. Cheers!
