Finally getting around to trying to get my #AlbyHub + LND setup working on #Start9 again.
My current theory is LND isn’t working because #Bitcoin Core is still syncing, and that’s tying up the machine (at least that’s what it seems like in the LND logs). Once syncing is done, I think Bitcoin Core will be freed up to handle RPC. 🤞
What do you think? #asknostr

Yes, you can only open lightning channels on your node once bitcoin core is fully synced.
So you downloaded and started the LND service before core was finished?
On mine I waited until core was fully synced before I downloaded and started LND. Then LND took about 12 hours to sync. THEN I started and configured the alby hub.
Each one is dependent on the other. Can't skip ahead to the last one without the foundation.
When I first tried to set everything up months ago, I think both core and LND were synced. But some issue occurred when I opened the channel. My machine has been off since then. I don’t see same issue anymore so I’m hoping everything will work once core is synced up again. 🤞
