'''Welcome to PLEBNET!'''


== Getting Started ==
<!--T:53-->
We've outlined the main 'guide' on this page. Follow the articles here in order to gain a better understanding of the steps required to join PLEBNET, and getting your node up & running. If you'd like to simply browse around, you can view all our pages [[Special:AllPages|Special:AllPages]].


You need a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightning_Network Lightning Network] node and [https://telegram.org/ Telegram] in order join [http://plebnet.org PLEBNET]. - Read the [https://bitcoiner.guide/lightning/ bitcoiner.guide/lightning] guide to get an overview of how the lighting network works.

=== Telegram ===
<!--T:5-->
'''Please read the above link before anything else!''' Contains a useful introduction and tips.


PLEBNET discussion and coordination happens on the Telegram chat platform.
[[Notes on Privacy | Important points to consider on how to protect your privacy]]


Download the [https://telegram.org/ Telegram app] and join the [http://kycjelly.com PLEBNET] group.
== Getting Started == <!--T:6-->


The companion Telegram channel [https://t.me/plebnetlibrary PLEBNET Library] contains high quality materials collected from chat group traffic.
<!--T:7-->
Are you brand new and perhaps don't quite understand lightning? Do you not have your own node yet? Are you not yet in the PLEBNET telegram group?


=== CheeseRobot ₿ ===
<!--T:8-->
Please see the [[Special:MyLanguage/Getting started|Getting started]] page.


A Telegram bot that will allow you to join and interact with the PLEBNET.


You’ll want to send a private message to <code>@cheeserobot</code> to claim and add your node. Start with <code>/claim</code> and follow the instructions to get add your node id. Then, in the PLEBNET channel, use <code>/id@cheeserobot</code> to get yourself added to the graph.
== Claim your node [optional]== <!--T:9-->


== Opening Channels ==
Important: If you are concerned about your privacy, do not claim your node (or for that matter use telegram). There are a few things to be aware of when claiming your node on cheeserobot. CheeseRobot, a closed source software, will link your telegram handle to your node, and subsequently to UTXOs (or bitcoin public addresses) for any public channels that you establish. This may have unintended consequences of doxing your identify (and UTXOs) in case the phone number that is associated with your telegram handle is exposed. Make sure to take basic precautions if you do opt to use the cheeserobot, like making sure that your telegram phone number isn't visible by default and isn't exposed to your contacts.


=== Add Liquidity ===
<!--T:10-->
For telegram, DM [https://t.me/cheeserobot @cheeserobot] and then <code>/claim</code> your node (follow the instructions, you will need to sign a message with your node to prove you are owner of the node).


Generate a Lightning wallet and add some funds so that you can open channels. Keep in mind that PLEBNET prefers [[#keep-it-girthy|girthy channels]], so fund your node accordingly.
<!--T:11-->
Then, in the [https://t.me/plebnet PLEBNET] group announce your node with <code>/node</code>. If you see your own node, success.
Repeat in other groups which support CheeseRobot with <code>/node</code>.


=== Find Nodes in PLEBNET Telegram Group ===
<!--T:12-->
Additionally, [https://amboss.space Amboss.space] is one of the best websites for looking up nodes and their basic information. People may go to Amboss to browse your node's info. You can claim your node on Amboss which will allow you personalize your node's profile and add additional information. Use these instructions: [[Special:MyLanguage/Claim on Amboss|Claim on Amboss]]


If you’re not yet able or willing to offer girthy channels and just want to get started with a smaller amount of sats, [https://amboss.space/node/0381de1709efbda38f9afd2d47399caa19a2630c0c795acd24755efa442685fc7d Turgidson] is for PLEBNET newbies and will accept channels as low as 20k.
== Opening Channels == <!--T:13-->


You may want to check out [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnj-ix45tVw Lightning Routing: The First 30 Days] to get some ideas
<!--T:14-->
The first question which a pleb has after (or even before) the node is synced "'''who should I open channel with'''"


Otherwise, you’ll need to find some other nodes in PLEBNET to open channels with.
<!--T:15-->
I would say - '''with a mentor who is willing to spend time with you, teach you the ropes, mentor and guide you to be a better node runner'''


You can go to http://graph.plebnet.org/ to see the current visual graph of nodes, or type <code>/graph@cheeserobot group</code> in the PLEBNET chat. <code>/groupnodes@cheeserobot</code> will output a list of the 50 most recent members and nodes. You can contact plebs form the graph or list and see if they’d like to open a channel.
<!--T:16-->
Of course in the age of google, internet, and instant gratification, this thought can be frowned upon but there is no replacement for a mentor in your journey as node runner.


You can also just ask in the PLEBNET channel if anyone is interested in opening a channel with you.
<!--T:17-->

=== Other Channel Sources ===
== Rebalance Channels ==  


If you’re just getting started and want to find some other nodes to open channels with, here’s some places where other plebs have had success:
Keeping your channels properly balanced is critical to your node's routing ability. Ride The Lightning and Thunderhub are good visual tools to start with. As you progress in your journey, the [https://github.com/alexbosworth/balanceofsatoshis Balance of Satoshis] is a command-line tool that provides extra flexibility to rebalance your peers. [https://github.com/itsneski/lightning-jet Lightning Jet] is a fully automated rebalancer that will automatically rebalance all of your channels. See [[Resources]] for links to other available tools.

=== Keep It Girthy ===
<!--T:21-->
[[Special:MyLanguage/Node Hardening|Node Hardening]]


It’s best to have fewer big channels with more sats than it is to have many smaller ones. The recommended minimum channel size is 2 million sats, which would be 1 million per node on the channel.
<!--T:19-->
[[Special:MyLanguage/Maintaining node hygiene|Maintaining node hygiene]]


=== Balanced Channels ===
<!--T:20-->
[[Special:MyLanguage/Node Hardware|Node Hardware]]


The idea is to have balanced channels. This means that there is an equal amount of sats between each node on the channel.
<!--T:22-->
[[Special:MyLanguage/UPS|UPS]] (Uninterrupted Power Supply)


For example, if <code>Node A</code> opens a channel with <code>Node B</code> for 2m sats, it will start entirely on their end. <code>Node A</code> will want to find a way to have 1m sats on each side of the channel.
[[Reduce_channel_database_size | Keeping Channel DB in check ]]


There are several different ways to accomplish this.

# <code>Node A</code> opens a channel with X sats
<!--T:25-->
# <code>Node B</code> sends a Lightning invoice for half of the amount X sats that was opened on the channel
[[Special:MyLanguage/Backup/Recovery|Backup/Recovery]]
# The <code>Node A</code> operator sends the address of their preferred on-chain Bitcoin wallet to the operator of <code>Node B</code>
# The <code>Node B</code> operator sends half of the amount X sats of the opened channel to the Bitcoin wallet of the operator of <code>Node A</code> from step 3
# <code>Node A</code> pays the Lightning invoice

== Maintaining Proper Node Hygiene ==


=== Keep Your Node Online ===


When you’re running a lightning node, it’s important to keep consistent uptime. This is good for you, your peers, and the overall community. Making sure your node stays online improves your reliability, as well as the reliabity of nodes that connect to you. If your node reboots or goes offline repeatedly, your reputation will be negatively impacted, and other peers will choose to route around you. If your node is offline for an extended period of time, you also run the risk of having your open channels force-closed, which can result in losing sats as the channel balance settles on-chain.


=== Set a Static IP Address ===


One of the most important aspects to keeping your node online is setting a static IP address. Normally, your router assigns IP addresses dynamically to every device on the network. When the router refreshes its IP tables from time to time, some or all of the devices connected to it are reassigned new addresses. Generally, your devices will not alert you when this happens. Some models of wireless printers will display a message on the screen when the IP address changes, but by default, your laptop, smartphone, or node will not inform you when this happens.


The solution for this is to change your router’s settings to lock the IP address used by your node. Depending on the type of router you use, this might be referred to as a '''manually-assigned IP''', a '''reserved IP''', or you may need to simply turn off '''automatic IP''' assignment. You might have to look in the advanced settings section to find this feature. Once you’ve set the IP address, you shouldn’t have to reboot your node, but if you do, it should retain the same IP address when it comes back up.
== Popular Tools == <!--T:31-->

=== Make Friends With Lightning Watch Bot ===
<!--T:35-->
Balance of Satoshis, or BoS, is a set of commands for working with LND balances. It can do similar things as interfaces like ThunderHub or Ride the Lightning. However, your options are much wider with BoS, and you will need it if you want to set up a telegram bot with your node (to get notifications whenever channels are opened/closed, whenever you forward a payment, whenever your node goes offline, and to get automatic channel backups for safety).


One simple way to be notified in the event your node becomes unavailable is to register it with @lightningwatchbot, a Telegram bot that will keep an eye on your node’s up/down staus. Start a conversation with the bot, and it will walk you through the steps to connect your node. As a free service, it will send you alerts on a one hour delay. For a faster response time, you can open a channel of any size with the bot (a great way to practice opening channels) and send it a small payment to receive notifications for your desired duration.
<!--T:37-->
For more information, and common BoS commands see: [[Special:MyLanguage/Balance of Satoshis|Balance of Satoshis]].

* 1 week for 600 sats
* 1 month for 2400 sats
* 6 months for 14400 sats
* 1 year for 27600 sats


=== Add a Backup Power Supply ===
It can be installed [https://github.com/ibz/lightning-shell manually] or via the Umbrel/Citadel app stores


A UPS (uninterruptible power supply) ensures that your node continue to function through minor power fluctuations and power outages.
Lightning shell includes many useful tools and saves you a lot of time installing them:


If you don’t shut your Raspberry Pi down properly this is essentually the same as pulling the power cord out of your desktop computer every time you want to shut it down. When this happens, you risk corrupting your device’s SD card, as well as data on your hard drive.
[[Special:MyLanguage/Umbrel - Installing BoS|Balance of Satoshis]]


The solution is to you plug your device into a high-output power bank. This is basically a juiced-up version of what you might use to charge your phone while camping. The battery pack gets plugged into the wall and your device gets plugged into the battery pack.
[https://github.com/edouardparis/lntop lntop]


A UPS should only be relied on to provide you with enough time to safely shut down your node until your power is restored. You should not connect your router or modem to the UPS due to potential data corruption that may occur if your node is in the process of writing to the disk when a power outage occurs.
lncli


Many UPS devices have a loud audible alert that will be triggered when the power goes out.

Welcome to PLEBNET!

We've outlined the main 'guide' on this page. Follow the articles here in order to gain a better understanding of the steps required to join PLEBNET, and getting your node up & running. If you'd like to simply browse around, you can view all our pages Special:AllPages.


To read first

Welcome to PLEBNET

Please read the above link before anything else! Contains a useful introduction and tips.

Important points to consider on how to protect your privacy

Getting Started

Are you brand new and perhaps don't quite understand lightning? Do you not have your own node yet? Are you not yet in the PLEBNET telegram group?

Please see the Getting started page.


Claim your node [optional]

Important: If you are concerned about your privacy, do not claim your node (or for that matter use telegram). There are a few things to be aware of when claiming your node on cheeserobot. CheeseRobot, a closed source software, will link your telegram handle to your node, and subsequently to UTXOs (or bitcoin public addresses) for any public channels that you establish.

Make sure to take basic precautions if you do opt to use the cheeserobot, like making sure that your telegram phone number isn't visible by default and isn't exposed to your contacts.

For telegram, DM @cheeserobot and then /claim your node (follow the instructions, you will need to sign a message with your node to prove you are owner of the node).

Then, in the PLEBNET group announce your node with /node. If you see your own node, success. Repeat in other groups which support CheeseRobot with /node.
