Got my node up in 5.6 but still lost... #209

Closed jocarp closed 5 years ago

jocarp commented 5 years ago

My node is up and running but i don't really know how to interface with it. I have a few bitcoin in a hot wallet on my phone but don't get how to lock it up better or find it on ledger or move it some around and get it in my LND wallet..

LND Wallet- got as far as print mnemonic word list, then totally stumped. When I go to create wallet, up pops the terminal and I get even more confused as I don't have much experience on that. Here is the last try and output there:

"Last login: Sat Mar 2 11:21:20 on ttys000 /var/folders/cx/hzgkn_7n45n2wcpz78b5xhgm0000gn/T/tmp_i6ukv_d-lnd.command ; exit; Johns-iMac-7:~ johncarpenter$ /var/folders/cx/hzgkn_7n45n2wcpz78b5xhgm0000gn/T/tmp_i6ukv_d-lnd.command ; exit; 2019-03-02 11:22:46.466 [INF] LTND: Version: 0.5.2-beta commit=v0.5.2-beta, build=production, logging=default 2019-03-02 11:22:46.467 [INF] LTND: Active chain: Bitcoin (network=mainnet) 2019-03-02 11:22:46.467 [INF] CHDB: Checking for schema update: latest_version=7, db_version=7 2019-03-02 11:22:46.476 [INF] RPCS: password RPC server listening on 127.0.0.1:10009 2019-03-02 11:22:46.477 [INF] RPCS: password gRPC proxy started at 127.0.0.1:8080 2019-03-02 11:22:46.477 [INF] LTND: Waiting for wallet encryption password. Use lncli create to create a wallet, lncli unlock to unlock an existing wallet, or lncli changepassword to change the password of an existing wallet and unlock it."

ok so where am I supposed to go from here please?

I want to be able to view the ledger, open my LND wallet, move BTC in and out, open & close channels, send BTC over LND etc etc. I have read this tutorial over and over and feel pretty stupid not being able to sort this out yet.

Is there a good resource for ignorant beginners who want to adopt like me but aren't quite up to speed yet? Please let me know and thank you!!

Hi @jocarp! The new version of the Node Launcher is a lot more user friendly!

https://github.com/lightning-power-users/node-launcher/releases

I've also updated the guide to make it simpler: https://medium.com/lightning-power-users/windows-macos-lightning-network-284bd5034340

Happy to reopen this issue and make more improvements if anything isn't clear!
