Before you proceed, please understand that the Lightning Network is still considered experimental and is under active development.
Do not add money that you can't afford to lose - there's a high risk of loss of funds.
Take time to familiarize yourself with the risks, some of which are:
- Most BTCPay Server deployments run on a pruned node which, while working, is not officially supported by lightning network implementations.
-
Lightning keys are NOT automatically backed up by BTCPay Server; your keys are in a hot-wallet. This means:
- If you erase your BTCPay Server virtual machine: you lose all the funds.
- If your server gets hacked: a hacker can take all of your funds by accessing your keys.
- If there is a bug in a lightning network implementation: you could lose all the funds.
To proceed, please ensure that:
- You accept being #reckless and being the sole responsible party for any loss of funds.
- You agree to keep on your lightning node only what you can afford to lose.
