Ring-of-Fire Quicksheet

Why?

To strengthen cooperation and form strong partnerships, make a template to bring node runners together and lift each other up. For more details read the full GitHub description here: https://github.com/Rings-of-Fire/ring-of-fire

What?

We create small ring Mini-Groups (aka a Ring) in Telegram to organize themselves to create and balance channels between them. Keep the main group in Telegram for any question on Lightning and/or a place where the Mini-groups can come ask for help/advice

When?

Constantly. Rings-groups (the mini Telegram groups) are prepared in advance, so people who want to join a Ring, join that mini-group for that Ring until enough participants have joined to go to action.

Where?

Telegram

How?

Become a RingLeader

In the past we used to create polls for different sizes of groups. This worked like a charm in the times that this concept was new. But since LN+ made it a lot easier to form whatever liquidity swap form one preferred (within on without the social coordination we can find here amongst ourselves), so it also changed the time preference of a lot of node operators.

Therefore we want to give the control of the whole group also more to align with the possibilities: You, not we, will create Pleb Pulled and Promoted rings.

  1. You decide which size of channel you want to use for the ring
  2. You create a TG group for yourself (and your future Ring members)
  3. Share the link to that group in the main Rings-of-Fire group and shill it how hard you want.

You can decide to do it with or without initial balancing, via LN+, with igniter script or old school via lncli, you can even put your own requirements for participants to join. The Ring is yours, we only give you a platform to Promote, you are the Pleb that Pulls that ring :) Do keep in mind that you are the RingLeader, all the organizing is on you, but we are a community so feel free to ask for help or advice at any time!

Everyone is allowed to just make an LN+ liquidity swap without making a group, but we will not pin those in the messages, that is for yourselves. We want to offer especially the community, so you can communicate with your peers in a later point in time as well.

Join a Ring

Join a Pleb Pulled and Promoted group

If you don't feel ready to become a RingLeader, check the pinned message for any Pleb Pulled and Promoted groups/links. And simply join there.

When no such Ring offers are up, feel free to ask/say what Ringsize you are looking for, maybe someone will step up.

maybe there are some polls available still as well ->

Poll (Legacy)

Flowchart to join RingGroup

  1. Join the Rings-of-Fire main group (probably you did, that is why you are here?)
  2. Look for the pinned message there you will see a list of Ring sizes Poll list in Telegram pinned message
  3. Check here if you can find a Group/Ring of which the size corresponds to the amount of Sats you want to commit.

*If you find a size that suits you proceed with step 4. *If you don't see a size that suits you, call out in the main group that a poll should be made for your preference. This will be added to the pinned message as seen in point 2.

  1. Click the link relative to the (size of ring) you want to join. The Poll will look similar to this: Poll for the Ring you want to join
  2. Select Yes, I will join Yes I will join clicked A red cross will be shown, don't be thrown off by that.
  • You see the link -> Jump to step 7
  • You didn't see the link -> proceed do step 6
  1. If the link didn't show, or disappeared before you were able to click it. Click on the lightbulb, the URL should pop-up now as described in 5. LightBulb
  2. You should have arrived in your new Ring :)

This help is also available as a short help under each poll, so there is no need to come back here for these steps. Help link in Telegram
