The minimum_depth (a number of confirmations) is usually greater than 1, so it takes more than 10 minutes to fund a channel. The timelock is negotiated before funding a channel and it is usually 144 blocks (~1 day). For example, Eclair Mobile clients become an exception if the user enables payment receiving over the LN. In such case, the timelock is extented to 720 blocks (~5 days) for a local uncooperative close and to 2016 blocks (~2 weeks) for a remote one.


A 1/10 th satoshi fee sounds better to me than a 1000 satoshi one. Miners already receive a block reward while node operators don't get anything.

Yes, every Ledger device is given a secret key during manufacturing process. The key proves device's authenticity when connecting to Ledger's servers. If a device is not genuine then a warning is displayed. The same applies if the software was modified.

That's weird. There should be at least the uninstaller. Check Windows Defender and your anti-virus software. The latter might be the case even if it doesn't prompt anything. You can also try re-downloading the installer from here.


Yes, never enter your seed outside your hardware wallet. If you need to enter it in Electrum in case you lose the wallet, it would be wise to create a new wallet and transfer your funds there.

Have you tried locating the Ledger Live folder in Program Files? You should be able to launch the program manually from there. Windows Search doesn't work well in some cases.


There is no need to. Your private keys never leave the hardware wallet. The biggest advantage of hardware wallets is that you can use them even on infected computes. You are safe unless you approve some shady transaction manually.

No, I was waiting for more of your questions. It turned out that the recommended transaction fee spiked to about 25 sat/byte a moment before I opened a channel. I paid 32 sat/byte fee so not that bad, but I am disappointed that I was not able to set it myself.





No, that's not how Lightning Network works. Take a look at 'Receiving Lightning funds' on this website. You can't send all of your funds because of the channel reserve which acts as an insurance if one party attempts to cheat.


As you can see on the image, it's not zero because I have sent a few Lightning Network payments. However, mobile wallets are not online all the time. This means that they can't receive payments without the app being opened.

The Nano S used to fit more apps in the past but due to the latest update, the capacity decreased significantly. Ledger claims that it was an accident and it should be fixed in the next update as promised while others think that it is a planned obsolescence. Why did you choose Ledger instead of Trezor? If you don't want to derail the thread then it would be great if you could message me.

Najwidoczniej ruch na indonezyjskim lokalu jest duży. W ciągu ostatnich kilku dni Development & Technical Discussion strasznie odżył. Ciekawe dlaczego...?


Wystarczy mieć 480 activity. Dokładną rozpiskę możesz znaleźć tutaj. Legendary trafia się pomiędzy 775 a 1075 activity, więc jest szansa, że będziesz miał go wcześniej niż ja

I managed to open a channel and send a few transactions over the Lightning Network without any major problems. However, I would not recommend this wallet to anyone in its current state. I could not set the channel opening fee and I was a bit overcharged. The same thing will happen once I decide to close that channel. I was not able to paste a payment request; I had to scan a QR code manually. There are no backups. If your phone breaks then you will have to rely on the other party to recover your coins. If you set the Bitcoin unit to Bitcoin instead of satoshi then the balance does not fit the screen unless you switch to fiat view. Also, entering the PIN is a bit inconvenient. The PIN pad should be moved up a little.

TL;DR Eclair Mobile is the best choice for now if you don't want to use a custodial wallet.

Weren't you given a mnemonic passphrase during wallet creation? If so, you should be able to import it in Electrum Cash and spend those coins without any problems. Which version of their wallet did you use to create the wallet? The desktop or the mobile app?

I guess that someone will come up with a better scaling solution by 2140. The Lightning Network channels still need to broadcast transactions when closing and opening channels. Would you pay a 1000 satoshi fee for sending 1 satoshi on-chain (assuming it was not treated as dust)?


I have a few channels on my LND node and Eclair Mobile. If that's okay with you then send me a payment request here. Note that you need to have incoming capacity.

Edit: Ah, you want me to see if I am going to encounter the same problem as yours. Sure, will post results later.

Thank you for your suggestion; I'll edit that post in a moment. However, this address is very unlike to be compromised. I have destroyed all physical copies of the seed which was never entered outside any hardware wallet. Also, I have never written down my passphrase.

Mobile wallets are a small exception here. Once you enable payment receiving in Eclar Mobile, the timelock for new channels changes and you have to appear online once every two weeks. It's not bad when you compare it to 144 blocks (~1 day) default value.

Do you have any articles or messages related to it? I am working on a thread about implementations and wallets, and this piece of information could be really important for people who are thinking which one they should choose.

It's Eclair's fault. I am not sure about c-lightning, but LND allows users to set the closing transaction fee through --sat_per_byte parameter. Even if the implementation supports a certain feature, clients also have to implement it. What was the recommended transaction fee at the time? @LoyceV pointed out that Eclair Mobile overcharges for the closing transaction depending on the mempool state.

The difference between these two is that the standalone excecutable does not create any files inside Program Files, but it loads and saves wallet data to Electrum folder located in %appdata% just like the installed version. Take a closer look at the Electrum icon. Is it a shortcut to Electrum folder in Program Files? If so, download the installer.

SLC SSDs are mostly used for server applications and they are going to be harder to obtain for an average consumer. MLC drives are still widely available. QLC drives seem to be priced about the same as TLC ones (at least in my country) while being less durable.



Wasn't it Total Bytes Written (TBW) by any chance? If TBW is exceeded then the warranty is void, but the drive still can work for a decent amount of time. Also, the controller is a very important factor. If it breaks then all of the data becomes unrecoverable in most cases.

It varies a lot between hardware wallets. Ledger wipes itself after 3 attempts while Trezor enforces a delay before you can enter the PIN again. The delay constantly increases until 16th attempt. The device is wiped after 16 unsuccessful unlock attempts. As for the KeepKey, it doesn't wipe itself. It also introduces a growing delay after the third failed attempt. If a hardware wallet is wiped then a recovery seed is needed to restore the wallet.

Yes, it was a hyperlink. This user clicked on https://www.ledger.com/helpdesk/bip39tool/ but in fact he accessed a different website. If he had copied the address manually or moved his mouse cursor over the link, he would have noticed that something was wrong. The user did not check the address bar immediately after accessing the website.

Z tego co widzę, to od dzisiaj można u was kupić Ledgera Nano X. Jak w przyszłości będzie wyglądać sprzedaż limitowanych edycji? Czy Ledger wysyła takie urządzenia do dystrybutorów? Z chęcią bym kupił wersję, która była dostępna podczas pre-orderów, ale pewnie takich już nie dostaliście.

There seems to be a problem with this CPU in particular. I found an old thread in which OP stated that he had the same CPU as you and experienced some performance issues. What motherboard do you have? Can you check if you have the latest version of BIOS? There might be something wrong with your BIOS settings.
