Lightning Network Setup Guides
Lightning Network (LN) is a payment protocol that has been sound for a couple of years now. It allies users to send and receive bitcoins quickly and cheaply between each other. It solves one of the most common problems that the community faces: slow transaction speed and high costs. Using Lightning Network, users can send and receive payments in seconds, instead of waiting for the main network to process the payment.
Lightning Network works as a separate blockchain that operates alongside the main Bitcoin blockchain and communicates with each other using channels. Once a channel is closed, the entire transactions that happened on the Lightning network are appended to the main blockchain, hence the faster transaction speed and reduced cost.
You can use the tutorial given here to set up your Lightning Network. Follow the guidelines and set up your Lightning Network for faster and cheaper Bitcoin transactions.
