Please make sure your Bitcoin Core is running and your Bitcoin.conf is there on Bitcoin Folder. This usually happens error in bitcoin.conf , you're not getting any response because your LND is crashing
I have Bitcoin Core running. And I still get this error. But here's another thing, my Bitcoin.conf file is in
Code:
E:\BIT\Bitcoin
But Lnd.conf is in
Code:
C:\Users\royalcap\AppData\Local\Lnd
Also the lnd folder
Code:
C:\lnd
From where i run lnd via cmd.
Could this be causing the problem?

The bitcoin.conf cointain
Code:
....
There's more above.
