Start writing Core Lightning plugins with pyln-client TODAY!

Note that in this video we have 2 nodes running on regtest and we communicate with to node l1 with the following alias:

◉ tony@tony:~/clnlive:
$ alias l1-cli
alias l1-cli='lightning-cli --lightning-dir=/tmp/l1-regtest'

To get more information you can refer to this biweekly live coding session where the material of this video comes from.
