Setup

LND and the swaplet are using go modules. Make sure that the GO111MODULE env variable is set to on.

In order to execute a swap, LND needs to be rebuilt with sub servers enabled.

LND

  • Checkout branch master

  • make install tags="signrpc walletrpc chainrpc" to build and install lnd with required sub-servers enabled.

  • Make sure there are no macaroons in the lnd dir ~/.lnd/data/chain/bitcoin/mainnet. If there are, lnd has been started before and in that case, it could be that admin.macaroon doesn't contain signer permission. Delete macaroons.db and *.macaroon.

    DO NOT DELETE wallet.db !

  • Start lnd

Loopd

Execute a swap

  • Swaps are executed by a client daemon process. Run:

    loopd

    By default loopd attempts to connect to an lnd instance running on localhost:10009 and reads the macaroon and tls certificate from ~/.lnd. This can be altered using command line flags. See loopd --help.

    loopd only listens on localhost and uses an unencrypted and unauthenticated connection.

  • To initiate a swap, run:

    loop uncharge <amt_msat>

    When the swap is initiated successfully, loopd will see the process through.

  • To query and track the swap status, run loop without arguments.

Resume

When loopd is terminated (or killed) for whatever reason, it will pickup pending swaps after a restart.

Information about pending swaps is stored persistently in the swap database. Its location is ~/.loopd/<network>/loop.db.

Multiple simultaneous swaps

It is possible to execute multiple swaps simultaneously.
