Not sure whether this topic belongs in this board because your guide has a lot of technical stuffs that might be complex for new users.  Smiley
But as you may be aware that this is Beginning and Help board. I personally haven't read your topic properly but I noticed a lot of terms related to Bitcoin. So I assume this topic may be fit for Technical and Bitcoin based boards (could be wrong though).
Thanks for the input. Feel free to report it if you want, maybe a moderator will move it. I wasn't so sure myself, but I decided to post it here for the time being. The nature of lightning network setups is that it can not be much simpler than this, otherwise you are always sacrificing something. For example, I could provide a script file that simply chains all the commands together and simplifies a bit the process. But how does a beginner verify that the script file does not include malicious commands? Sure, there is some kind of trust system here so seniors can aid in this process. But if we encourage beginners to use premade script files from strangers online, they will end up doing it at other places where such system does not exist. Eventually this will lead to a negative outcome.

The guide for Windows should be much simpler, but that will require a some time and assistance from other users.  Grin
