= What is Lightning? =
A way of making quick peer to peer [[Payment|payments]] over the internet, backed by [[Bitcoin]] or another cryptocurrency.

= Can I use it already? / How do I use it? =
Yes, just choose a [[Wallet]]

= Why would I run a node? =
Because it is cool, and you [[Making money using Lightning|get some fees]] for routing.

= Does the Lightning node use the bitcoind/btcd wallet =
No, Lightning uses it's own wallet. You can run bitcoind without wallet enabled.

= Can I run a node without putting funds into the node? =
Yes, but it has not a lot of use of course.

Also your node might not be propagated to the graph (and 1ml) if it has no channels.

= Is running a node dangerous? =
Yes. Your funds are on a hot wallet, connected to the internet. Think about security.

= What is the exact content of the [[Funding Transaction]]? =
{{HELP|Please answer. What else is publicly visible in this tx?}}
It contains or references the address(es) where the funding is coming from. The "who from" so to speak. It contains or references the amount of the funds. The "how much" so to speak. It is also timestamped on the [[Bitcoin]] blockchain. This is the "when" so to speak.

= What is the exact content of the [[Closing Transaction]]? =
{{HELP|Please answer. What else is publicly visible in this tx? If one sees the Closing Tx on the blockchain, can one find the corresponding Funding Tx on the blockchain?}}
It contains or references the address(es) where the settled funds are sent to. The "to whom" so to speak. It contains or references the amount of the funds. The "how much" so to speak. It is also timestamped on the [[Bitcoin]] blockchain. This is the "when" so to speak.

= What is stored inside a [[wallet]]? =
The wallet stores a private key to the [[multisig]] address of the [[Funding Transaction]].
{{HELP|Please answer. What else is in the wallet? Does the wallet store anything about the payments going back and forth? Where are the payment [[invoices]] signed by both parties stored? Is it important to know to which Lightning node my wallet was connected to in the past?}}

= What happens if I lose my ([[non-custodial]]) wallet? =
{{HELP|Please answer. Is the 24-word wallet seed enough to restore the wallet?}}

= Can I switch the [[third-party]] [[Lightning node]] configured in my Lightning [[wallet]] any time and as frequently as I want? Or is my wallet permanently bound to the Lightning node I selected when I created my Lightning wallet? =
{{HELP|Please answer.}}

= What is stored in the [[Lightning node]]? =
{{HELP|Please answer. Is this where the payment [[invoices]] signed by both parties are stored?}}
Besides payment information the [[node]] also stored [[routing]] information.

= What happens to me as a wallet owner if the [[third-party]] [[Lightning node]] I used disappears forever? =
{{HELP|Please answer. Are funds lost? Is information about the past invoices lost? How do I know what the last wallet balance was? If I do not use a [[Watchtower]] can I be defrauded because the Lightning node went away?}}

= What information does a Lightning node operator need to restore his/her node=
If, say, the hard disk gets corrupted? Is stuff gone?
{{HELP|Please answer. Are funds lost? Is information about the past invoices lost?}}

= Can I restore my lnd wallet from seed? =
Seed is a BIP39 wallet; you can import that in a separate app and get your on-chain funds back.
Please see [[Static channel backups]] and [[Backup]] for tips on backups.

= Does the sum of the funding from the [[Opening Transaction]] need to match the sum of the funds from the [[Closing Transaction]]? =
Say party A and B open a payment channel and each party puts in 1 BTC. A then sends a 1BTC payment to B and B sends a 2 BTC payment to C. Now the channel between A and B is closed. What does the [[Closing Transaction]] show? Both A and B settle with 0BTC? 2BTC in the [[Opening Transaction]] but 0BTC in the [[Closing Transaction]]?
{{HELP|Please answer. Is this possible? Is this how it works?}}

= Why is my balance changing without me sending or receiving transactions? =
There are several possibilities, it could be you are accumulating fees for routing transactions. You can check this with 'lncli feereport'

Another likely possibility is [[Fees|commit fee renegotiation]]. PR's in lnd relevant to this issue:
* [https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/2075 "contractcourt: settle invoice when claiming HTLC on-chain"]
* [https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/2265 "htlcswitch: reliable HTLC tracking"]
* [https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/2440 "Extend ListPayments response by original invoice memo "]
* [https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/2473 "lnrpc+rpc: add initiator field to listchannels"]

= How can I make money using Lightning? =
[[Making money using Lightning]]

= Is there any effect to the existing channels if the Node-IP changes? =
There is no problem in changing the node IP. Lightning is good at gossiping. Your node will try to connect to your previous peers when it restarts. Channels are not bound to an IP.

= How do I properly set up DDNS with http://freedns.afraid.org w/ Raspiblitz ? =
The Raspiblitz guide is not very clear. My Router does not have freedns.afraid as an option and if I activate DDNS in the raspiblitz it does not even ask for an user or log in, only for the URL... Channel_ID@IP is unchanged after activation. Within the freedns.afraid side I have created a Subdomain Type A which appears in the Dynamic DNS section as an "update candidate"...

The wallet stores a private key to the [[multisig]] address of the [[Funding Transaction]].

= What happens if I lose my ([[non-custodial]]) wallet? =
{{HELP|Please answer. Is the 24-word wallet seed enough to restore the wallet?}}

{{HELP|Please answer. Are funds lost? Is information about the past invoices lost? How do I know what the last wallet balance was? If I do not use a [[Watchtower]] can I be defrauded because the Lightning node went away?}}

= What information does a Lightning node operator need to restore his/her node=
If, say, the hard disk gets corrupted? Is stuff gone?

Say party A and B open a payment channel and each party puts in 1 BTC. A then sends a 1BTC payment to B and B sends a 2 BTC payment to C. Now the channel between A and B is closed. What does the [[Closing Transaction]] show? Both A and B settle with 0BTC? 2BTC in the [[Opening Transaction]] but 0BTC in the [[Closing Transaction]]?
{{HELP|Please answer. Is this possible? Is this how it works?}}
