Getting started with Umbrel If you are a new user of Umbrel node, here you have a mini guide and links about how to use this amazing simple software node. It is important that if you start from zero knowledge, to begin with reading about what is Lightning Network and how to use it, basic concepts a…

Very informative read. Can’t wait til sync is finished and I can setup the lightning network. Stoked!

Maybe two more tutorials to include, I enjoyed them both a lot: [image] How to Use Mempool.Space Learn how to use Mempool.space - a blockchain and mempool explorer [image] I Have No Idea What I'm Doing: Lightning on Umbrel⚡️ | Stonly Guides have …

A few more links: whatthefee.io - useful for current fee estimation (btc transaction, ln channel opening) txstreet.com/v/btc - graphical view of how mempools/blockchains work bitnodes.io - overview of nodes worldwide

Awesome info! :raised_hands: Didn’t see it linked above, so I figured I’d add that Lightning Labs also has a fantastic guide called Managing Liquidity on the Lightning Network – and their entire Builder’s Guide to the LND Galaxy seems really well done.

I couldn’t edit anymore the main post, to add more links (that was my intention). So I created another post with more links here

@Reach thank you for your response. I have looked thoroughly at my wallet and am sure I don’t see this looped deposit. I’m about to fly so will be in flight mode. Will take a closer look when landed and will also take a look at details through Thunderhub to see where everything was sent and will pos…

I think the “Node not found” just a bug where it doesn’t recognize LOOP was the final destination and it looks like your transaction to LOOP did go though. In Thunderhub, can you check your Chain transactions to see if you received a similar sized amount at the same time?
