<span>Before you proceed, please understand that Lightning Network is still in the experimental stage. Do not put the money you can't afford to lose. There is a high risk of you losing the money.</span>
</p>
<p>
Take time to familiarize yourself with the risk. There's no backup for LND or c-lightning keys in BTCPay. Your keys are in a hot-wallet. This means :
</p>
<ul>
<li>Most of BTCPay Server deployments run on a pruned node, which, while working, is not officially supported by lightning network implementations.</li>
<li>If you erase your BTCPay Server virtual machine - you lose all the funds.</li>
<li>If your server gets hacked - a hacker can take all of your funds by accessing your keys.</li>
<li>If there is a bug in a lightning network implementation - you might lose all the funds.</li>
<li>You approve being #reckless and being the sole responsible party for your loss.</li>
<li>You approve to keep on your lightning node only what you can afford to lose.</li>
<p>You can omit <code>certthumprint</code> if you the certificate is trusted by your machine</p>
<p>You can set <code>allowinsecure</code> to <code>true</code> if your LND REST server is using HTTP or HTTPS with an untrusted certificate which you don't know the <code>certthumprint</code></p>
