Chapter Eighteen: Understanding Your Lighting Setup

NOTE: This is a draft in progress, so that I can get some feedback from early reviewers. It is not yet ready for learning.

In this chapter you'll be ready to begin working with the lightning-cli command-line interface. But that first requires that you understand your c-lightning setup and its features, which is what will be explained with some examples and basic configuration.

For this and future chapters, we presume that you have a VPS with c-lightning installed, running lightningd courtersy of Bitcoin Standup Scripts on Testnet.

Objectives for This Chapter

After working through this chapter, a developer will be able to:

  • Demonstrate that their c-lightning Node is Installed and Up-to-date
  • Use basic wallet Commands
  • Setting up a channel.
  • Pay an invoice
  • Generate a payment request.
