New guide for LN noobs: Private Lightning Nodes
634 sats \ 8 comments \ @DarthCoin 28 Jan 2023 bitcoin
I just published a new powerful guide about using Bitcoin Lightning Network with various private LN mobile nodes.
The guide is also registered on Bitcoin Blockchain with OP_RETURN (see details inside the guide). I use this OP_RETURN option to make my Bitcoin guides registered in time, in the Bitcoin history, so my grand-grand-kids will remember me as a participant in Bitcoin history and in their future.
Not everybody can or must run a public routing node in order to be able to just use LN payments for his own personal use.
Now is possible with these mobile LN nodes:

Thank you very much for writing all these guides! They're much needed as a Lightning newbee :-)

Excellent guide! I have fun reading all of your writeups.
One guide I would love to see: how to use Tailscale to run a LNBits server that’s connected to your private or public node.
I think this is a crucial step to enable private but fast transactions using LNURL (that doesn’t require tor for the end user)

LNbits over Tailscale will not gonna work. Tailscale is a private VPN IP, that means it cannot deliver https over internet (that LNbits require).
If you want to make your LNbits accessible on internet use the caddy or nginx options. See the LNbits documentation page for further instructions. https://github.com/lnbits/lnbits/wiki/LNbits-Documentation#additional-guides

This is a great guide. I was trying to use Phoenix but the fees are a little high for first trying this so I am going to give Breez a try. I already can tell this is going to be an easier option for me, at least for right now. I appreciate you taking the time to make this. It has helped me more than you know.
