<p>I have an LND node running the 0.5.2-beta release on a 2 core, 8GB ram Ubuntu 16.04 VM. This is my node: <a href="https://1ml.com/node/02d5efae50c1cdc6011e40b74f061ea4f444088865ec14a59e4ee6cf0d71c842fc" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://1ml.com/node/02d5efae50c1cdc6011e40b74f061ea4f444088865ec14a59e4ee6cf0d71c842fc</a></p>

<p>I used the Raspibolt tutorial to setup this node. It appears to be working properly, however when trying to receive payments it doesn't work. I can make channels and stuff, the only issue is being unable to receive payments.</p>

<p>For example, I have a post on <a href="https://yalls.org/articles/97d67df1-d721-417d-a6c0-11d793739be9:0965AC5E-56CD-4870-9041-E69616660E6F/23c39080-3748-4cf6-a0c4-e1c5c0811e43" rel="nofollow noreferrer">yalls</a>. I have paid for posts, it works perfectly. However when I try to withdraw whatever I have earned through yalls, it says payout failed. When I try again it says invoice is for too much, although that is false. I can confirm I have entered the right node public key when creating the post as I tried my invoices on other yalls posts and it clearly says the node pubkey is different. <a href="https://i.sstatic.net/W44fU.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Here</a> is an imgur album demonstrating this.</p>

<p>I have also tested my invoices with BlueWallet, and it says LND api failure 7. <a href="https://i.sstatic.net/fJEUV.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Here</a> is an imgur album showing this. I think the problem here is my node. Has anyone encountered this problem, or know of a solution to it?</p>

<p>TLDR: I can do everything with my LND Node, except receiving payments on invoices I make</p>

Does your LND node have channels with capacity to accept payments?

For example, I have a post on [yalls](https://yalls.org/articles/97d67df1-d721-417d-a6c0-11d793739be9:0965AC5E-56CD-4870-9041-E69616660E6F/23c39080-3748-4cf6-a0c4-e1c5c0811e43).

I did not have any incoming connections with enough liquidity. I got some and it is working now.
