I possibly compromised my seed, how do I uninstall everything and start from scratch?

  1. If you have channels open, close them.
  2. If you sent coins to that seed, then send them to another wallet.
  3. Stop LND by closing the terminal window
  4. Click on the Show Macaroons button, keep going up the parent directories until you find the Lnd directory (%localappdata%/Lnd on Windows or ~/Library/Application Support/Lnd on macOS).
  5. Move the Lnd directory to a new location.

What does this not enough witness outputs message mean when I try to open a channel?

Basically this means you need to send BTC to your LND wallet. See https://medium.com/@pierre_rochard/send-a-lightning-payment-with-zap-desktop-17b74b65b9b8

I'm trying to spin up a lightning node using LND, but it seems to have a Handshake Error SSL_ERROR_SSL when I try to create a wallet. Any solutions?

  1. Close LND
  2. Click on the Show Macaroons button, keep going up the parent directories until you find the Lnd directory. If Show Macaroons is greyed out go to %localappdata%/Lnd on Windows or ~/Library/Application Support/Lnd on macOS
  3. Delete the tls.cert and tls.key files

LND stops initial sync with “operation timed out”

  1. Close LND
  2. Launch LND
  3. Unlock LND wallet
  4. Repeat until chain is synced, check height to make sure progress is being made

Request failed with the message “all SubConns are in TransientFailure, latest connection error: connection error: desc = “transport: authentication handshake failed: x509: certificate is valid for 127.0.0.1, ::1, [more local IP addresses], not 0.0.0.0””

To fix this, I stopped LND and updated the following line in the lnd.conf file:

tlsextraip=127.0.0.1 To:

tlsextraip=0.0.0.0 Then I deleted the tls.key and tls.cert files so they would be regenerated on LND restart. When I restarted, everything connected just fine on my private network.

If you are using another app using the cert files such as Zap, be sure to update those as well so it can continue to connect to your node.
