menu: 1st Layer > Change Blockchain Network

2. Mainnet starts

3. check my node_id

menu: Channel > Show Connect Info

4. connect to LNBIG and call API

1. select “LND / C-Lightning / BTCPay / Eclair” and NEXT.
   

2. push COPY button on “Commands for LND”

3. save the text in lnbig.txt on your Linux console

5.execute the command below in order to get connection string

cat lnbig.txt | sed -e 's/^lncli connect \(.*$\)/\1/g' | sed -e 's/^\(.*9735\).*/\1/g'

ex.
   028a8e53d70bc0eb7b5660943582f10b7fd6c727a78ad819ba8d45d6a638432c49@lnd-33.LNBIG.com:9735

6. connect using connection string

menu: Connect/Close > Connect [NODE_ID@IPADDR:PORT]

7. If the connection is OK, execute the command below to get call the LNBIG API string.

cat lnbig.txt | sed -e 's/.*| \(.*$\)/\1/g' | sed -e "s/^\(.*private=0'\).*/\1/g"

ex.
   curl -G --data-urlencode remoteid@- 'https://lnbig.com/api/v1/oc?k1=040aa501-3273-442c-b966-13488f85e727&private=0'

8. execute command from Linux console

echo -n MY_NODEID | LNBIG_API_STRING

ex.
   echo -n 03019960f1fe3efb6dd3663606cc196e41ad31fb5535e1264a24d1a1986e7a9059 | curl -G --data-urlencode remoteid@- 'https://lnbig.com/api/v1/oc?k1=040aa501-3273-442c-b966-13488f85e727&private=0'

9. check LNBIG website

CONN_STR=`cat lnbig.txt | sed -e 's/^lncli connect \(.*$\)/\1/g' | sed -e 's/^\(.*9735\).*/\1/g'`
echo $CONN_STR
/home/pi/Prog/ptarmigan/install/ptarmcli --connaddr $CONN_STR


NODEID=`/home/pi/Prog/ptarmigan/install/ptarmcli -l1 | jq -r '.result.node_id'`
API=`cat lnbig.txt | sed -e 's/.*\(https.*$\)/\1/g' | sed -e "s/^\(.*\)&private.*/\1/g"`
echo -n $NODEID | curl -G --data-urlencode remoteid@- "$API&private=0"
