channel.ninja

channel.ninja is a tool to recommend channel partners for your lightning node.

channel.ninja is gone

I don't have the time and energy right now to keep maintaining this side project. If you found it useful and run your own LND node, just clone it and run it yourself :)

Installation

$ yarn

Environment variables

$ cp .env.example .env

Create a macaroon with the necessary permissions:

$ lncli bakemacaroon \
address:write \
invoices:write \
invoices:read \
info:read \
--save_to=~/.lnd/data/chain/bitcoin/mainnet/channel-ninja.macaroon

$ base64 -i ~/.lnd/data/chain/bitcoin/mainnet/channel-ninja.macaroon

Add your base64 encoded channel-ninja.macaroon to .env.

Change the rest of the .env file according to your needs.

Running the app
