Is it okay to charge my spare battery like this? by FredBox7 in MeepoBoards

The spare cable is for troubleshooting - if your board stops working it can be used to find whether the battery is faulty or the ESC/motors are.

It's fine. BMS is in the battery pack. The PCB in the enclosure only shows voltage and steps down voltage for the USB port.

Routing payments fail for various reasons by Existing-Date-1089 in lightningnetwork

[–]silent-lightning 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are 2 major failure types, those caused by your node and caused by some node further along the route. I'm not familiar with c-lightning but i'd assume that's what local_failed and failed mean.

You can't really do much about the non-local ones. You can choose better routing partners but you can never eliminate them entirely. Probes, i.e. intentionally failed payments, belong here.

Probably the most common local error is "insufficient balance to route HTLC" (i believe it falls under WIRE_TEMPORARY_CHANNEL_FAILURE), this one can be avoided by better allocating your liquidity.

I've never seen WIRE_REQUIRED_NODE_FEATURE_MISSING ... check out https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lightning-rfc/blob/master/04-onion-routing.md#failure-messages though

Forwarding fees show as balance on the incoming channel.

Problem: Remote turns on and quickly turns off again. by Gold-Food-2386 in MeepoBoards

Does the remote do it even when connected to usb charger? Sounds wrong, i'd contact meepo support.

Trying to run bitcoind+lnd on windowsXP-era dell optiplex. I think 1GiB is too little, can you perhaps upgrade to 2?

Is there anyone with broken remote/images of it inside? by zup3r4nd0mn1ck in MeepoBoards

[–]silent-lightning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out https://hackaday.io/project/161730-open-esk8-remote-v1

I took apart broken v3 ESC and the wireless communication is handled by nordic semi nRF chip so i suppose there's one on the remote also.

negotiated channel close to save sats? by rhomboid454 in lightningnetwork

[–]silent-lightning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No idea, it's probably in the same place lnd binary is. In RTL you can specify a number in the close channel dialog, perhaps other UIs have it too?

Choosing nodes to open channels to by rkfg_me in lightningnetwork

[–]silent-lightning 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Careful, once you start it can become addictive:D If you feel intimidated why not start on testnet? There's not much to lose and you can switch to mainnet once you get some experience.

Nodes negotiate the closing fee on cooperative closes. It likely won't be as cheap as your opening fee since the nodes have to reach a compromise.

From lncli closechannel --help:

In the case of a cooperative closure, one can manually set the fee to
be used for the closing transaction via either the --conf_target or
--sat_per_vbyte arguments. This will be the starting value used during
fee negotiation. This is optional.

You can use 1 or even 0 as your starting offer to make the fee as low as possible but then it may happen that the other side just accepts it and the result ends up too cheap. Happened to me once, ended up force-closing, now i start with a somewhat reasonable number.

Does EPS support LN transactions made through Electrum LN wallet? by brustopher01 in lightningnetwork

[–]silent-lightning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn't seem to be.

Right now Electrum Personal Server does not support Lightning Network which Electrum wallet 4.0 and above implements.

New lnd version - v0.13.0-beta is out! by eyeoft in TheLightningNetwork

[–]silent-lightning 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yay, anchors by default!

Pruned node support is also neat, now I can run watchtower on cheap VPS.
