I wrote this script to make channel openings quick and easy. It'll use socat to allow a clearnet lnd to connect to tor nodes.
You need to
You need to
apt-get install socat
before using it.
Also useful for quickly pasting a node address and satoshi amount, instead of connecting and then opening a channel.
ezopen.sh:
ezopen.sh:
is_tor_node() { echo $1 | grep -q onion } connect_tor () { addr=$(echo $1 | egrep -o '[a-z0-9]+\.onion:[0-9]+') port=$((10000 + ($RANDOM * $RANDOM) % 55535)) socat tcp-listen:$port socks4a:127.0.0.1:$addr,socksport=9050 & pid=$! node=$(echo $1 | egrep -o '[0-9a-f]{66}') lncli connect $node@127.0.0.1:$port } open_channel () { node=$(echo $1 | egrep -o '[0-9a-f]{66}') lncli openchannel $node $2 --min_confs 0 } if is_tor_node $1; then connect_tor $1 else lncli connect $1 fi open_channel $1 $2 if is_tor_node $1; then sleep 5 kill $pid fi
Usage: ./ezopen.sh [node@address:port] [satoshis]
