Już dawno temu zamierzałem napisać aplikację na Merit Source, ale powstrzymywała mnie ilość mojego sMerita. Obecnie mam go aż 113 mimo że ostatnio porozdawałem go trochę w naszym dziale. Obawiam się, że z tego powodu moja aplikacja mogłaby zostać przetrzymana jako nierozpatrzona przez długi okres czasu, ale zawsze mogę spróbować swoich sił i napisać dzisiaj podanie jeżeli uważacie, że koniecznie potrzebujemy drugiego Merit Source. Dobrze by było rozruszać tę sekcję. Jest tutaj całkiem dużo Polaków, którzy się nie udzielają.

Edit: Nie marnujcie merita na mnie. Trzymajcie go dla innych osób.

There is no such command because dual-funded channels haven't been introduced yet. Using -push-amt parameter results in being able to receive payments if the other party is connected to someone else, but that's pointless. Why would anyone do that only to gain liquidity?

Właśnie miałem napisać jakiś czas temu o tym. Jeżeli chce się mieć natychmiastowy dostęp to trzeba albo wykupić premium albo zaprosić 3 osoby. Mnie zaskoczyła 3 opcja. Zostałem wylosowany i za darmo odblokowano mi możliwość wymiany kryptowalut. Nie korzystam z uwagi na brak mozliwosci wpłacania/wypłacania monet.

An invoice is currently the only way to send coins to someone else over the Lightning Network (Sphinx is not widely available yet). You should be able to generate an invoice by accessing your Lightning Network wallet inside Blue wallet app, clicking Receive and filling up necessary information (satoshis to be received; description is optional). You can give them either your on-chain address or the invoice you generate with the method I described.

Tak, bardzo polecam stronę 1ML.com. Znajdziesz na niej wiele interesujących statystyk i będziesz mógł nawet wyszukać poszczególne węzły. Musisz wziąć po uwagę, że część kanałów ma ustawiony parametr private co oznacza, że nie będą tutaj widoczne. Takie kanały są wyłączone z systemu przekazywania płatności i są używane najczęściej przez portfele mobilne np. Eclair Mobile. Nie ma możliwości podania konkretnej liczby monet, która przepływa przez sieć z uwagi na to jak jest skonstruowana.


Większość z tych rzeczy jest na etapie planowania i pojawi się w Lightning Specification 1.1. Nie oznacza to, że nic się nie dzieje wokół LN. Bardzo dużo osób zainteresowało się ulepszeniem Sphinx, które pozwala na przesyłanie płatności bez konieczności generowania jednorazowego wezwania do zapłaty (invoice). Co ciekawe, Sphinx można już przetestować nawet na głównej sieci, ale oba węzły, które są tym zainteresowane muszą zainstalować LND z odpowiednią modyfikacją w kodzie. To tylko kwestia czasu jak wszyscy będą mogli z tego skorzystać.

You can't open a channel without putting any coins inside of it. It would not make any sense otherwise. The more BTC you lock up in a channel, the more different payments you can route. Some people are complaining that they payments don't go through because many channels are too small (they don't have enough BTC) to route their payments. Your balance is not the only factor. Nobody is going to route a payment through you if you are not well-conneted and if your fee policy is not configured properly.

Low-latency is said to be the most important feature of 5G from which AI will benefit. Huge mining farms already have exceptional quality Internet connection so that their blocks could be propagated faster in order to avoid chain split due to the same block being mined in similar amount of time. People who mine with GPUs will also benefit from it. Their shares will be sent to the mining pool much faster which seems to be a problem in less urbanized areas.

The Lightning Network consists only of bi-directional payment channels. The problem with receiving payments is that you can't receive if there is not enough space in your channel. Also, currently, only one party can fund a channel. Dual-funded channels are not available, yet.

Jeżeli któryś z Was czuje się na siłach to możecie spróbować złożyć podanie do kampanii, w której obecnie biorę udział. Jest tylko jeden slot wolny, a po jednym dniu już jest 2 strony podań. Nie musicie zmieniać sygnatury i awatara więc nic nie stracicie, a możecie dużo zyskać. Widzę, że odbiegliście trochę od tematu, ale dyskusja wygląda na ciekawą (rozdałem trochę merita). Może założycie osobny temat?

There is no need for 1ML to open back a channel to you. Once you send your payment, the funds are moved on the 1ML's side. Then, 1ML moves coins in their other channel to the side of the next node which routes the payment (or just lightning-roulette in this case). If you request a withdrawal then the funds can take the same route assuming that 1ML didn't close their channel with lightning-roulette and has enough liquidity.

If you still don't get it, you can download Eclair Mobile Testnet for Android. Recently, they added support for receiving payments so you can test it out and see how it works.

Jeżeli ktoś z Was byłby zainteresowany to mogę wysłać na PW zaproszenie dzięki któremu karta zostania wysłana do Polski za darmo. Jeżeli do 6 marca zaprosi się 5 osób to otrzymuje się ichniejsze konto premium na 12 miesięcy wraz z kartą metal. Byłoby mi miło gdyby ktoś z Was chciał z tego skorzystać, bo chciałbym uzbierać te 5 osób Nie wstawię zaproszenia tutaj żeby nie narobić sobie problemów.

The problem seems to be related with your channel's liquidity. How much of your channel's funds are on your side? Keep in mind that you won't be able to receive more than the channel's value minus 2% of its total value. Spending a few satoshis should solve your problem.

Having funds in the node's on-chain wallet is not enough. You have to open channels to other nodes and have someone open a channel to you.


No. It's up to you with who you will open a channel. Some nodes reject channels under a certain value specified in the config.

You won't be able to recover those coins only with the transaction id. You need to able to access private keys which are stored on that hard drive. Professional data recovery is extremely expensive and they still might not recover what you need. Modern wallets generate a seed (12 or 24 words) which can be used to recover the wallet on any other device.

Trezor has just released a new software update (1.8.0) for Trezor One. This update brings security enhancements and support for new coins. More detailed info will be posted next week. They didn't specify which coins were added. Also, it is now possible to buy crypto directly from the Trezor Wallet. It probably relies on a third party service just like coin exchange. No data about your wallet is exposed to those services.

Here's an interesting article from July on Alex Bosworth's earnings. Recently, he posted on Twitter that he routes about $10.000 worth of BTC per month and gets paid 0.25% for routing (source). I remember that someone was posting his routing earnings in this thread at the beginning. Check the first few pages.

Table from the article mentioned above. July 2018

Note that nodes which route a payment don't know by who and to whom the transaction was sent. They only know the previous and the next node which will handle the payment. LND allows to view details of routed payments by typing in ./lncli fwdinghistory

@Papucho contacted me on Telegram so this post is for people who are following this thread. His Bitcoin and LND nodes data were stored on an external hard drive so I recommended him reinstalling the operating system on the SD card. He will be able to recover his channels since all data is stored in the .lnd folder on that hard drive.

If you are this much paranoid then you can compile Electrum on your own since it's open-source. I'm quite sure that other developers of Electrum sign the executable file with their own private key, but I can't find any example right now. Oh wait, Microsoft has acquired GitHub so by that line of thought, you have to trust them as well.

I have never set up RaspiBlitz but it shouldn't be a problem. I managed to help @Zand_ even though I still don't own a Raspberry Pi. RaspiBlitz uses LND v.0.5.2 so there won't be any problems with using your .lnd backup. Make sure that all files inside .lnd have been copied correctly. RaspiBlitz has a good tutorial on their GitHub. I can help you in case you face any problems during the installation process. If you won't have any problems then we will proceed with using your backup.
