Good day NotATether, I am curious to know what exactly is wrong with my LND challenge

Good day NotATether, I am curious to know what exactly is wrong with my LND challenge

Sorry, there is a huge backlog of submissions I just noticed that I need to look at, and I don't currently have time this afternoon to look at all the posts. So I will have a look later.

Ok, I thought maybe I did something wrong while running the node, thanks for your reply

PSA:

Guys, nodes are supposed to be ran by yourselves. You can ask for help, but please stop approaching people asking them to use Teamviewer or some other Remote Desktop to set it up for you. That's basically cheating.

Continued use of remote desktop will result in red trust for the parties involved in this.

Again guys, try to run the nodes yourselves, it's not that difficult.

It is probably a good time to introduce other requirements to this challenge too, such as the minimum number of merits and merits earned in the last 120 days among other things. Please consider.

Thanks for bringing this up. I hope those we're trying or thinking to exploit the system will now restrain themselves. It's not that hard . Those who is thinking of providing a paid service regarding this please restrain yourself or you and the user bot can get a red tag.

This should help discourage merit farming. Without naming anyone, some users are clearly using this quest as a last resort to earn merit. I even received PMs from a few inactive high-ranking forum members.

He had already done that here

[NotATether]

He had already done that here

I'm going to have to start enforcing that consistently though, I'll admit I even forgot that I had posted that here.

Fortunately the bar for running a Lightning node is quite high, so I haven't really seen any cheaters post here (They did attempt to, from what I have heard from other people though).

Honestly that's so true, to run an LND you have to be technical to some degree,  and you need a full Bitcoin node too, I tried opening a channel after configuring my settings, it won't just connect in the app, at some point my system got an issue, I'll have to put it on hold for now until I'm ready, then will tackle it.

First challenge completed with LND node running!

Code:

synced_to_grapgh needs to be true too

It is probably a good time to introduce other requirements to this challenge too, such as the minimum number of merits and merits earned in the last 120 days among other things. Please consider.

He had already done that here

Thanks, I didn't remember that anymore. He should add this information into the OP though, that is where I checked for updated requirements. @NotATether

First challenge completed with LND node running!

Code:

{
    "synced_to_chain":  true,
    "synced_to_graph":  false,
}

synced_to_grapgh needs to be true too

Thanks for the warning

I left working and it synced
