Thank you, DarthCoin - this is great information! I just built a myNode on Pi, but haven't yet turned on the Lightning function. My Electrum wallet on a different computer is connected to an Electrum server on the Pi.

Is it possible for a malicious node/person to damage or hack your lightning node?

I think I will also set up a public and private node. I don't care about money either, just advancing bitcoin adoption, which is super-important right now.

Thanks again Sir!

Hey bro how are you doing? when you say 'I set a maximum number of HTLCs in lnd.conf file to 10' you are talking about channel-commit-batch-size=10 or default-remote-max-htlcs=10 ? cheers

Darth how could I increase a channel size? Should I close old one and open a new?

Great guide.

I've seen some very strange behaviour with the Muun wallet which some of my users transfer sats to via my node.

If you open an invoice on Muun, copy it and then close the app on an iPhone (not sure what Android does I don't have one to test with) I can see transactions stall for up to 24 hours! When I initially send the payment with the REST API the invoice just times out. Never returns an error.

Subsequent attempts to pay the same invoice return "payment is in transition" in the error field.

I can't find any way to cancel this type of payment.

This will continue for 24 hours and then fail OR if the user opens the Muun app again it will immediately succeed!

I have only observed this behaviour with Muun. I now have a direct channel to Magneto which is Muun's node, their phone apps seem to be linked by temporary private channels to this node.

What I see is that LND's API

I would love to learn about node maintenance pratices like sheduled restarts etc. Did you do or known any guide about that topic Darth?

Hey teacher =)! How are you doing? I saw today a channel called darthnode, is it yours? Feel free to awnser or not. My question is something else, i was watching c-otto politics and he does disable his side of channel when his outgoing liquidity is lower than 50.000. I suppose he does that to reduce HTLCs fails. Should i use a similar approach or its bullshit?
