Background
I have setup a regnet test network with two LND nodes. One to send money and the second (lnd2) to generate invoices on. I am writing code to simulate a mobile app. I’m currently trying to calculate the fee to pay an invoice and attempting to call /v2/router/route/estimatefee
I’m getting this error when I execute the code below:
{‘code’: 2, ‘message’: ‘invalid length destination key’, ‘details’: []}
I’ll admit the byte to raw to decode has me a bit confused. But I’m not sure I’m feeding the correct address.
