[shantun001]

Hi

Please have a look and let me know what i am missing i followed this document and tried with two other server as well but every time same results

Thanking you

getinfo output

Can you be more precise please ? What did you do exactly ? Could you try to stop (all) lightningd, start it on testnet, get a newaddr and send some tbtc to it ?

[shantun001]

Hi i am running it at testnet already , I have sent BTC at new address ,
Also transaction is confirmed at blockchain , But it's not showing anything

What about now? And could you supply the output of getinfo?
The transaction need some time to synchronize and like darosior said, you need confirm ligntningd is running on testnet.

With that little amount of informations we cant do much. Please provide reproducible instructions (hence the steps I asked in the first message).

I am getting this messages INFO lightning_gossipd(31870): We seem to be missing gossip messages

[shantun001]

[shantun001]

Look it's running at testnet

[ZmnSCPxj]

"blockheight" : 1383949,

If you look at https://live.blockcypher.com/btc-testnet/ you will see that recent block height is 1571734.

So it seems, your problem is simply "IBD ongoing".

Just wait. This is IBD, initial block download, this is normal. Once your node has caught up to the block height, the node will credit the amount.

[shantun001]

Can you send me article related to IBD

Like this, the definition of IBD.

[shantun001]

This idea doesn't work , Have you setup channel through this library ,
Because i am unable to catch confirmation while i have already deposit more
than 2 BTC

Your node is not yet caught up to the network. Wait for the blockheight to reach the known blockheight. This is not a bug, this is normal behavior.

This is normal for anything built around bitcoind instead of using some SPV service. If your previous experiences are around SPV, then be aware that this is, in fact, the fact of life for fullnodes: you have to wait for blocks to download.

[shantun001]

But i am waiting for it since three days , How much time would it take

Depends on your Internet speed and CPU speed. Your ISP might be throttling you because of high bandwidth use, too; check it. Just keep waiting for blockheight to catch up. It will arrive: eventually.

[ZmnSCPxj]

How is the blockheight so far?
