Setup
LND and the swaplet are using go modules. Make sure that the GO111MODULE
env
variable is set to on
.
In order to execute a swap, LND needs to be rebuilt with sub servers enabled.
LND
- Checkout branch
master
-
make install tags="signrpc walletrpc chainrpc"
to build and install lnd with required sub-servers enabled. -
Make sure there are no macaroons in the lnd dir
~/.lnd/data/chain/bitcoin/mainnet
. If there are, lnd has been started before and in that case, it could be thatadmin.macaroon
doesn't contain signer permission. Deletemacaroons.db
and*.macaroon
.DO NOT DELETE
wallet.db
! -
Start lnd
Loopd
- `git clone https://github.com/lightninglabs/loop.git
cd loopd/cmd
go install ./...
Execute a swap
-
Swaps are executed by a client daemon process. Run:
loopd
By default
loopd
attempts to connect to an lnd instance running onlocalhost:10009
and reads the macaroon and tls certificate from~/.lnd
. This can be altered using command line flags. Seeloopd --help
.loopd
only listens on localhost and uses an unencrypted and unauthenticated connection. -
To initiate a swap, run:
loop uncharge <amt_msat>
When the swap is initiated successfully,
loopd
will see the process through. -
To query and track the swap status, run
loop
without arguments.
Resume
When loopd
is terminated (or killed) for whatever reason, it will pickup
pending swaps after a restart.
Information about pending swaps is stored persistently in the swap database.
Its location is ~/.loopd/<network>/loop.db
.
Multiple simultaneous swaps
It is possible to execute multiple swaps simultaneously.
