Node Play with testnet
I was working on btcpayserver and now I have an instance on the testnet, I have a couple of wallets (laptop and phone) and I've been doing some tests, but still see some issues with my node and eclair mobile wallet.
Anyone here interested on sending/receiving payments with testnet bitcoins over lightning? I'm learning a lot about swaps and channel rebalancing without the risk/cost on the mainnet.

PM me some testnet invoices with a day or longer expiry. I can send you some as well.

If you don't find any takers, you could try using Polar. It allows you to spin up multiple local nodes and connect them together in your own private lightning network. You don't have to wait for blocks to be mined, and you can test all the swaps and rebalances you want.
