Lightning core how does it work?

[dirk]

Hi, as I am a newbie with the bitcoin lightning network, I would like to ask how I can receive my sats that I have already mined with my biaxe on ocean. I have opened a channel (Start9 HQ) with 25000 sats in Ride the Lightning. What more actions do I need to do to receive my sats in my lightning wallet, that I’m seeing on my ocean.

Thanks in advance for advice and time

A channel of 25000 sats is practically useless and unusable. It will almost certainly be private, which is often a stumbling block too. A further stumbling block is that you’ll have 0 sats inbound because you have 25000 sats outbound.

Once you understand the lightning network, you’ll be follow this guide for setting up Lightning payouts in Ocean: OCEAN - Lightning Payouts

Brrr still have to learn a lot, because I’m completely stuck. I understood that I need to send some sats through the lightning network to be able to receive? Is that it? but where sending to? sorry I sound like a complete idiot, but I’m really stuck for now!

Guide: Getting Inbound Liquidity (Lightning)

Getting Inbound Liquidity Before you read this, it’s important to understand the important concept of liquidity. This guide summarizes some of the ways you can get some inbound liquidity after opening a new or first channel. Spending Sats The simplest way to gain inbound liquidity is to spend some of your outbound liquidity. Whether you send this to yourself or spend it on a purchase, the end result will be inbound liquidity equal to the amount you have spent. Let’s say you have opened a chann…

Thanks for the info. I will read through during this day, because I’m turning around here not knowing exactly what I’m doing and stas from ocean not coming in my wallet. When I look in my DATUM gateway IU. I can see that I have 0 shares accepted. How come? because in my view I configured everything right…

and i clients I do not see anything

can this be the problem?

Can someone please explain (PRACTICAL) how to add more sats to my open channel in my Lightning node on start9? Then how to send sats from there to a bitcoin address (for example in sparrow wallet). as I understood I need to have an invoice for that but how to create that invoice to send that from out of my lightning wallet? Thanks and sorry for these questions but I’m a total newbie …

You have a channel that is too small to be useful in any way. You can’t grow it, but you can open more channels OR pay someone to open a channel to you, I gave you a guide for that.

You’ve been given a guide where one step shows how to move sats back on-chain here.

It’s OK to ask questions, but there’s no button to press to make things just work, nor any means to avoid some amount of study.

You asked about CLN and lightning… but then posted about Datum. Is this a separate question? You should create a thread for it.
