Install

Super quick start, for knowledgeable individuals.

  • Use Go >= 1.16
  • Clone repo
    • git clone https://github.com/decred/dcrlnd
  • Install:
    • go install ./cmd/dcrlnd
    • go install ./cmd/dcrlncli
  • These should now work:
    • dcrlnd --version
    • dcrlncli --version

Configuration

Create the config file ( ~/.dcrlnd/dcrlnd.conf on linux, ~/Library/Application Support/dcrlnd/dcrlnd.conf on macOS, %LOCALAPPDATA%\dcrlnd\dcrlnd.conf on Windows):

[Application Options]

node = "dcrw"
testnet = 1

[dcrwallet]

dcrwallet.spv = 1

Running

Start dcrlnd: $ dcrlnd.

Create the wallet: $ dcrlncli create. Use a minimum of 8 char password. Save the seed.

Interacting

To make it easier to interact to the node (The important bit is to always specify --testnet when invoking dcrlncli):

$ alias ln=dcrlncli --testnet`

Get a new wallet address: $ ln newaddress.

Send funds to it (hint: faucet.decred.org).

Get the balance: $ ln walletbalance

Connect to an online node: $ ln connect 038fde001dbe4d6286ab168cfd1e9711ad0cbb8fc4e3c2312f2b42063b72af8e71@207.246.122.217:9735

Open a channel: $ ln openchannel --node_key=038fde001dbe4d6286ab168cfd1e9711ad0cbb8fc4e3c2312f2b42063b72af8e71 --local_amt=100000000 --push_amt 50000000

Check on channel status:

$ ln pendingchannels
$ ln listchannels

Create a payment request (invoice): $ ln addinvoice --amt=6969 --memo="Time_to_pay_the_piper!"

Pay a payment request:

$ ln decodepayreq --pay_req=<PAY_REQ>
$ ln sendpayment --pay_req=<PAY_REQ>
