First you have to download Lightning Network software that allows you to run a node, and follow the instructions to open it and fully sync the data. After you do that, then you have to open Thunderhub (or any other channel management software), and open a channel. |

After much hassle and going back and forth the terminal, I think I finally cracked it. I just finished preparing Thunderhub and I’ll be moving forward to opening my own channel now  |

synced_to_graph must be true Hello @NotATether, I finally opened my first channel and it’s active and running, and it’s also very much visible on 1ML.com,

  I just opened my channel. I had opened my first channel earlier but it wasn’t in !ml.com (according to rules) so I had to close it and open a new one. I later realised that all needed was some little time to get broadcasted on the 1ML.com server |

Yes, as long as you are not an alt of somebody already in the challenge. Ahhhh okay, got it. Edit: I've tried running an LND before, but i kept on hitting some weird error messages, so i just stopped after much failed trials. I guess I'll revisit it once again, and hope I'm able to crack it this time  |
