can not create channel about lightning-app

[brijananand]

I used to get that error when the format of the channel's Public Key with the IP address is wrong. Publickey@ipaddress or Publickey@ipaddress:port was the correct format to be used. Check to see if the public key that you're pasting is of the correct length.

For example this was the Publickey@ipaddress for bitrefills lightning example (Example here - https://blog.bitrefill.com/lightning-payments-on-testnet-for-bitrefill-b3edac845654): 03[e-mail]

@ac-com-au Are you sure "2N9oz4fBot2z3rBkubRU25ZSY4ixfKTiyNm" is a Public Key / node key? It looks like a testnet wallet address to me.

can not make connection to self

@ac-com-au When you're attempting to make a payment to another party, you need to connect to their channel. So you need to ask their publickey and their IP or you need to connect to a 3rd party channel to which both you and the 2nd party are connected to. Hence, you'll not be able to connect to yourself, since you're not going to make a payment to yourself. I hope this helps

There's an autopilot feature implemented which should automatically handle this without having to manually add a channel. But I'm not sure if it's working perfectly at the moment.
