A Lightning Network Plugin written in Pony 🐴
Support Pony! ... 👍 Many thanks! ❤️
First, install pony itself by using your preferred package manager or compile it from source.
You should also have setup a Lightning Network daemon instance (c-lightning more precisely)
Start your LN daemon together with the plugin:
$ /path/to/lightningd --conf=/path/to/conf --plugin=/path/to/ln-plugin-ponyBy default the code contains various debugoutputs that go to stderr, because stdin and stdout must not be used as the daemon uses them to communicate with the plugin. If you don't want to see those diagnose messages simply mute Debugger's print function.
Currently, the plugin only succeeds in exchanging the initial messages with the daemon. Afterwards, it gets closed for no obvious reason. I have followed this tutorial to setup a "neverending" Actor but still, the daemon lets the plugin die off. Not sure what the problem is, but as this is my very first project written in Pony I am absolutely sure that the problem sits in front of my computer. 😅
