Instructions for use with c-lightning
RingTools-CLI uses LND by default. To use c-lightning add --client cl
as argument.
If you don’t have the RPC unix at the default location use the --clrpc /path/to/lightning-rpc
argument.
The channel format is different when using C-lightning, but if you use the pubkeys.txt
file this should not matter.
