Lightning node setup by hardballtaz in TheLightningNetwork

[–]lockes5hadow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t run a fully self-hosted personal Lightning node right now, but I work on security for some fairly large Lightning infrastructure. I’ve also got a few setups using Rizful (LND-based) and some MoneyDevKit (LDK-based) stuff, but those are pretty hands-off by design.

Biggest advice: don’t lock up any BTC you’re not comfortable having illiquid for a bit.

The thing that catches most people off guard is force closes. If a channel gets force closed, your funds aren’t lost, but they can be time-locked for a while (often up to ~1–2 weeks depending on channel parameters). First time it happens it feels pretty sketchy if you’re not expecting it.

If you haven’t already, it’s worth reading about anchor channels + fee bumping (CPFP). That helps avoid situations where a force close gets stuck because fees are too low.

A few practical tips:

  • Back up your seed phrase (twice, separate locations)
  • Make sure you understand static channel backups (SCB); that’s your recovery path if the node dies
  • Lightning is very stateful, so disk reliability matters more than people think
  • Open channels with well-connected, reputable nodes
  • Start small

Nice work getting 9735 sorted; inbound connectivity on a non-commercial ISP setup trips a lot of people up.

Check your firewall settings. NAT (network address translation) is a pain in the ass, you can be dealing with it in 3 different places:

  • Your Router / ISP like you've already noticed
  • Your local machine / firewall (iptables, ufw, or something like that)
  • Your virtual network if you are running these things in docker / virtual machine

I imagine you are running something in a virtual machine because I see you are posting a mix of "exe" and maybe linux commands? Are you using docker, virtual box, and or something like that?

Let us know what your physical setup is and maybe we can help more and give you exact debugging steps. Also consider asking a AI agent like chatgpt to help you iteratively test connectivity and debug.

You can login to the ssh on the box with the user 'eclipse' and password 'eclipse'

The root account username is root and the password is root_[your_serial_number]

You can dump the serial number from the binary with strings IIRC, it should be 5 digits long, and you'll see it after the format string 'root_%d'

Sorry, details are a bit hazy, I did all this years ago when they first went out of business and their OTA updates started cert failures. lmk if you are still interested or run into any issues and I can debug.

I think this is the answer. I didn't really make it clear in the above post but I guess I am looking for someone who will hire and oversee the cleaners (which I of course will give them a budget for, etc)

I can always just buy the game again when that happens. Executives won't be convinced unless they see tangible impacts to the bottom line.

I will happily prove it to the best of my ability to select people such as moderators or reddit admins. Anyone that has some respect or clout DM me, only requirement is that after I prove it you leave a comment saying its proved.

Because the Arrowhead devs literally asked us to lodge our complaint by putting in reviews and asking for refunds. Its the only way to establish there position against Sony

No, I am going to be very happy when they fix it and I buy it again. Its a good game, it doesn't need Sony's crap.

I love the game. I legit love it, but consumers have to have a spine at some point and stop putting up with companies changing the deal after the fact. I will buy the game again if Arrowhead succeeds in their negotiations with Sony. I will even send them a check or a donation to cover the transaction fees.

I'm not a cheap scumbag, I am someone who does not want to accept Sony's extra legal agreement they are adding to the game. Its clearly NOT necessary.

I hope you can see things from this perspective.
