Free lightning tests

I've lost a 0.004 transaction that left one Éclair wallet but never arrived at the other Éclair wallet, so it's also a waiting game....

LN or on-chain? I never tried such high amounts off-chain.
What would happen if you close the channel?

I saw you mention it in one post and thought I might have better long term connection plus node activities with nodes that would usually have higher foot traffic.

That would make sense, but I gave up on creating my own channels for a while. I have some active on Testnet, and stick to a custodial wallet for the real Bitcoin.

On chain - I closed all channels on the tablet and saw they were showing as back in the chain value, got a BTC wallet address from my Éclair on my phone and sent them. The wallet address and qr code after a short while changed to a new wallet address, but no confirmation they'd arrived.

On chain

Have you tried: menu (3 dots) > Network Info > RESET NETWORK DATABASE (on the receiving wallet)?
I've had it too that Eclair didn't show confirmations for an on-chain transaction long after it was confirmed, and resetting the database solved it.

If that doesn't work, you can use your seed phrase to restore the wallet (or private key) through other means.

I wasn't game to as I thought it was some sort of factory default reset/scrub everything from the app.

Am just starting up Éclair and am about to give it a go.

*edit*

Nope. Didn't work.

Many thanks.

[jackg]

Received Thanks, did I do something wrong, I seemed to get an extra hundred satoshi?

[HCP]

Oh man... I think I've really done it now... I finally got LND working (apparently, you need to have "datadir" specified in bitcoin.conf so LND can find the bitcoin datadir!?!?)... and I got ZAP wallet setup with it as well... Meant to fund it with 100,000 sats... accidentally sent 1,000,000

Then realised, it wasn't actually in the LND node wallet... but in some random wallet I created in ZAP I should really learn to do these things on testnet first!

Anyway, now waiting for the channel funding transactions to confirm (yay for 20 minute block times ) and then I can try playing with some of this money and see how it works with my own wallet instead of the custodial BlueWallet.


EDIT: Finally got it up and running... anyway, I'm having some "inbound capacity" issues... so is there any chance we can do a "reverse" loan? Where I send you money first... and then I get it back later? If so, please post up a payment request for anything under 100,000 sats (preferably valid for 24 hours) and I'll see if I can pay it

[jackg]

I have an invoice here but with a warning your inbound amounts don't increase like your outbound ones do as the increase at something like 80% of what you send... I think that's how it works anyway, not looked into everything fully yet...

I like testing with actual crypto it makes me concentrate more but that could just be me...

Anyway here's the request if you want to go ahead:

My node may drop off in half an hour though but I'll send another one tomorrow if so...

You can refund yourself the 900000 sats via CoinPlaza.IT by sending them funds via LN and receiving them back via the chain.  You will have 900,000 inbound and 100,000 outbound capacity without having to buy it from any third party nodes.

I've found 0.0025 transfers works ok (I have a channel open to them) but higher amounts (on just about any channel) don't always go through)

[HCP]

I must admit... my lightning knowledge is not quite as good as I thought it was...

Is the idea just to goto their exchange and send them whatever sats I have and request it back to the wallet on-chain address? I don't understand how that will create inbound/outbound capacity if I do that?

Am I supposed to create a channel first? As I can't seem to create a channel to coinplaza.it at this time... I'm just getting "funding errors" when trying to create the channel (tried 250k, 200k, 150k and 100k). So I'm guessing they're not accepting new channels or they're out of capacity or something?

Each LN channel is like a pile of coins, "shared" between (only) 2 parties. At the moment, all coins are on your side, so the other party can't send you anything.
If you send some coins first, you can receive some back later (except for 1.2% channel reserve). The other party (the node) will do the same to the next node, creating a chain of channels that all move some of their coins to the other party.

Am I supposed to create a channel first?

No, it should work if the nodes are connected already.

If you go to coinplaza you set up that you send them bitcoins on the lightning network and inreturn they send you bitcoins on the main chain.

Connecting to the coinplaza node is a different thing.

Hi. I want to ask, i never tried yet, this loan is only for eclair wallet or app? And you want back the satoshi for test back on lightning network or also accept on chain payment?

[jackg]

Hi. It's a test for anything on the lightning network.

I can repay in btc if you want I have enough incoming but I will send at 1 sat per byte fee... Come back in 12 hours if interested as I'm Unavaliable for a while.
