Code:

    "synced_to_graph":  false,

Code:

    "synced_to_graph":  false,

Reminder:

As a reminder guys, if "synced_to_graph" in the LND says "false", then your LND node has not fully synced to the rest of the Lightning Network first. Please ensure this is done first. Connecting to LN peers (not creating channels) should help greatly with this.

Some tips from OP:

It should sync to the graph after a few days at least; this requires connections to LND peers to acquire the graph state.

In case it doesn't sync by itself, you can try to convince it to sync by editing the gossip section of lnd.conf :

Code:

[gossip]
numgraphsyncpeers=6  # or 8... but don't increase it too much to avoid network lag. Default is 4

gossip.pinned-syncers=#public keys of well known lnd nodes (think of it like addnode in Bitcoin Core)

ignore-historical-gossip-filters=true # reduces bandwidth

Restart LND.

Or to add nodes right now without restarting:

Code:

lncli connect (pubkey)@(host):(port)

Find large nodes from 1ML.com or Amboss.space

No restart required in that case

In my experience, it should sync within a few hours once you are able to maintain a stable connection to peers. Remember to include the log output and screenshot of the terminal for verification. Good luck!

The new merit and activity requirements which I have written here also apply to this thread as well.

[TypoTonic]

I am stucked please which node should I connect to. My peers keeps getting empty after every connection I make.

I can't really teach you since I'm not a technical expert, so I'll just share my experience instead. Maybe you can try it too and see if it helps.

Basically, what I did when peers disconnect, was just to connect to a new/different one. I then monitored the connection by using the 'lncli getinfo' command and checking the "num_peers" field, to make sure that there's always at least one connected peer. I also used the 'lncli getnetworkinfo' command from time to time, to check if the "num_nodes" and "num_channels" fields' values are updating (which means that the graph is syncing).

Again, I'm just sharing with you what worked for me. I don't want to spread wrong technical information, so hopefully, others who are more knowledgeable can confirm/correct this.

[BTC FutureKing]

In my experience, it should sync within a few hours once you are able to maintain a stable connection to peers. Remember to include the log output and screenshot of the terminal for verification. Good luck!

Thanks @TypoTonic, yes you are right earlier my LND node was not fully synced and it was showing synced_to_graph 'false'. With your guide, I connected some peers to LND and after waiting few days synced_to_graph became true. I also have not turned off my laptop for past few day. Now I can move on to next step and create Channel.

@NotATether I ran lnd. I have given the details as screenshots below.

Your LND node is not synced to the graph.

[SPIDERMAN008]

@NotATether I ran lnd. I have given the details as screenshots below.

Your LND node is not synced to the graph.

@NotATether I was facing problem connecting peers  because of  running  Bitcoin Core in proned mode . That's why the LND node was not syncing with the graph. After that I ran the full bitcoin core node  then I ran lnd again and finally I was able to complete it.

I finally managed to get my Lightning Node fully synced. I’m running it with lnd v0.20.0-beta.rc4 on a Windows 10 64 bit machine. Took a bit of time but everything is synced now and the node seems to be running smoothly. I will try create my own channel and do a transaction in future.

Sorry for the lateness guys, I was very sick! I will look at the posts in detail today and award merits where appropriate.

[TokenTikas]

I was very sick!

I pray for you to get well very soon.

Bitcoin Core was fully synced. On 17 December, I ran my LND node and everything was working fine, but the synced to graph was not showing “true”. I followed a Windows tutorial and the guidelines from here to run it. Even after waiting for a long time, synced to graph was still not coming as “true”. Later, I connected three peers and waited again, but it still didn’t work, so I started everything all over from the beginning. In the end, my node ran successfully and synced to graph finally showed “true”.

Finally, after waiting long time my lightning node has fully synced. I faced many issues while syncing and after a lot of research my synced_to_graph has now turned "true". My setup is Window 10, Bitcoin Core latest version and lnd v0.19.3-beta. Now I am moving forward to next step. Thanks @NorATether for challenge.

[Royal Cap]

About five months ago I tried to run this LND node but after many attempts I was unable to sync to graph. So I gave up hope then, but this topic was coming up again for a few days, so I thought let's try again.
But this time after many attempts I was able to sync to graph.

This tutorial by Mahiyammahi helped me a lot to do this. Thanks to him.
