Not a paid ad, just an appreciation post!
The last day I've been setting up various mini-Lightning Networks using Polar. It comes with a slick UI and lets you create all the major node implementations, open channels, try payments and edge cases. In the example below I'm playing with Taproot Asset channels. All using docker and regtest.
And isn't it aesthetically pleasing, too?
We pulled this in to Github actions to automate tests so every push to the repo fires up a polar network and does some transactions to make sure we didn't break any interaction with the API's, very handy
Light mode?!
I especially appreciate being able to run all implementations and control mining/channels with a gui.
well noticed! I did switch over from dark mode today because I had trouble seeing things as the sun was shining on my screen
This is one of the most underrated application in the lightning space.
I really like reading these articles... I see that they are focused on people who have a PC or laptop... and since I'm starting out I only do it from my cell phone... but I still keep learning and later I will buy mine and I will have the knowledge 💪
Sorry I can't understand stand this can anyone explain to me this
It's an application you can run locally on your machine. It lets you simulate a Lightning Network and has a slick UI
You have instances and you can play with it? Wow, This is really impressive to say the least. Even Voltage cloud could not dare to compare.
It all runs locally and has a slick UI!
I really like Docker; even tho the guys at Start9 think it is trash (that is why those brainiacs wrote their own).
I can’t wait to try this someday. Thanks for sharing.
LXC master race... but really they use the same stuff under the hood
It is brother
