BITCOIN BLAKE2B

Connect with
Paperclip.

Add Paperclip as a Lightning peer. Start with a connection, then manage channels from your own node.

Our peer address

Copy the complete address below into your Lightning dashboard.

02bfcaa8328a89aa03ef55b3b810dc0dc43ee6df1e8d4cc8badb219ba303063389@lightning.paperclippool.xyz:9735

Use a Lightning node compatible with Bitcoin Blake2b. No Paperclip account or password is needed.

Add Paperclip as a peer

  1. Open your node’s peer manager

    In RTL or another compatible Lightning interface, go to Peers or Connections, then choose Add peer or Connect peer.

  2. Paste the peer address

    Use the full address above. If your interface asks for separate fields, enter:

    Node public key
    02bfcaa8328a89aa03ef55b3b810dc0dc43ee6df1e8d4cc8badb219ba303063389
    Host
    lightning.paperclippool.xyz
    Port
    9735

  3. Connect and confirm

    Select Connect. Paperclip should appear in your connected peers. Connecting does not open a channel or move funds.

Prefer the command line?

On your Core Lightning node, run this using your usual lightning-cli configuration:

lightning-cli connect 02bfcaa8328a89aa03ef55b3b810dc0dc43ee6df1e8d4cc8badb219ba303063389 lightning.paperclippool.xyz 9735

Then check the connection:

lightning-cli listpeers 02bfcaa8328a89aa03ef55b3b810dc0dc43ee6df1e8d4cc8badb219ba303063389

Look for "connected": true.

Before opening a channel

Verify that both nodes use compatible Bitcoin Blake2b software. A peer connection alone does not establish chain compatibility. Channel funding is a separate action and requires funds on your node.

Trouble connecting?

Check that your node can resolve lightning.paperclippool.xyz and make outbound TCP connections on port 9735. Use the complete public key and check your node’s connection logs for details.
