Huge thanks to Matt Hill and the StartOS community for the support and packaging improvements 
Nice. It would be extra nice if the Start9 team would add a toggle to turn on onion services in LND’s actions menu. @matthill @start9dave
As I understood, you would have to install Tor from the marketplace, then you can go to service interfaces →web ui → Plugin Tor and add a Tor service onion address, no problem! Here is the link to my service, just tested it now.
I mean a toggle for onion routing payments on LND so that we don’t have to SSH into the server and add custom settings to the lnd.conf file for bolt12 offers to work.
Yeah agreed, that would be nice indeed!
Couple questions about 4.0. Are most of the apps the are on 3.5 available. I have been waiting to confirm. Also is it still officially in beta?
0.3.5 os no longer actively developed afaik it is discontinued.
But I made a version of Bolt 12 pay wich you could sideload here, it’s experimental though and needneeds a custom lnd package. Release v0.2.79 · Alex71btc/bolt12-pay-startos · GitHub , so not recommended to still use it…better upgrade to 0.4.0 it’s running fine and stable by now.
Still beta but upgrade is recommended officially to my knowledge.
I think I was worried upgrading and not having certain apps I use. I mostly just use core/knots lnd Rtl elctrs lightning terminal and Alby hub
They are all there…there also is the community marketplace and the marketplace.
Thank you. Do lnd channels need to be closed first or will they be ok and be fine after the upgrade.
