Title: Lightning app for windows Post by: synthgauge on July 09, 2018, 07:39:20 PM Is there around an official lightning app for windows? I could only find zap wallet. It does not seem to work and is stuck syncing at 73%. If killed and launched up again it even struggles to go past 0 percent. I suspect my connection being tunneled through vpn could somehow hinder the syncing process. Could that be? There were similar issues reported on github but no solution was noticed. Is running a lightning node even available on windows?

You can try Eclair (https://github.com/ACINQ/eclair) if the Zap client doesn't work for you. You could also try setting up c-lightning (https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning) but this might take you some time. I would go for Eclair if you are going to stick with Windows.
