Hello NotATether, I need a help. I have been running my LND for a few hours but sync to graph is still False. What steps should I take to make it True? Can you help me how can I resolve this?
Is there something wrong with my node running that is causing it to be in the False state? Or can it be synced if I keep it running for 24 hours?
It should sync to the graph after a few days at least; this requires connections to LND peers to acquire the graph state.
In case it doesn't sync by itself, you can try to convince it to sync by editing the gossip section of
lnd.conf :
[gossip]
numgraphsyncpeers=6 # or 8... but don't increase it too much to avoid network lag. Default is 4
gossip.pinned-syncers=#public keys of well known lnd nodes (thinkingthink of it like addnode in Bitcoin Core)
ignore-historical-gossip-filters=true # reduces bandwidth
Restart LND.
Or to add nodes right now without restarting:
lncli connect (pubkey)@(host):(port)
Find large nodes from 1ML.com or Amboss.space
No restart required in that case
