Hi, I'm new to the Lightning Network and I'd like to try it firstly with my favourite wallet, electrum, even if I haven't heard the best about its LN functionalities. I believe that this is the thread to discuss my problems/queries about it.

I've opened Electrum Testnet and I've enabled LN. I want to open a channel to transact some funds with my other wallet.

Hi, probably I’m at the same stage as you were a year ago but can not move further to open LN channel in Electrum connected to testnet as the wallet's Open Channel button remains in the gray state. The wallet is topped up with 0.01 tBTC which, from my understanding, is enough for channel support. I would appreciate any suggestion on how to overcome things that block me from  LN channel opening with Electrum.
