* mod: bump btcwallet version to accept db timeout * btcwallet: add DBTimeOut in config * kvdb: add database timeout option for bbolt This commit adds a DBTimeout option in bbolt config. The relevant functions walletdb.Open/Create are updated to use this config. In addition, the bolt compacter also applies the new timeout option. * channeldb: add DBTimeout in db options This commit adds the DBTimeout option for channeldb. A new unit test file is created to test the default options. In addition, the params used in kvdb.Create inside channeldb_test is updated with a DefaultDBTimeout value. * contractcourt+routing: use DBTimeout in kvdb This commit touches multiple test files in contractcourt and routing. The call of function kvdb.Create and kvdb.Open are now updated with the new param DBTimeout, using the default value kvdb.DefaultDBTimeout. * lncfg: add DBTimeout option in db config The DBTimeout option is added to db config. A new unit test is added to check the default DB config is created as expected. * migration: add DBTimeout param in kvdb.Create/kvdb.Open * keychain: update tests to use DBTimeout param * htlcswitch+chainreg: add DBTimeout option * macaroons: support DBTimeout config in creation This commit adds the DBTimeout during the creation of macaroons.db. The usage of kvdb.Create and kvdb.Open in its tests are updated with a timeout value using kvdb.DefaultDBTimeout. * walletunlocker: add dbTimeout option in UnlockerService This commit adds a new param, dbTimeout, during the creation of UnlockerService. This param is then passed to wallet.NewLoader inside various service calls, specifying a timeout value to be used when opening the bbolt. In addition, the macaroonService is also called with this dbTimeout param. * watchtower/wtdb: add dbTimeout param during creation This commit adds the dbTimeout param for the creation of both watchtower.db and wtclient.db. * multi: add db timeout param for walletdb.Create This commit adds the db timeout param for the function call walletdb.Create. It touches only the test files found in chainntnfs, lnwallet, and routing. * lnd: pass DBTimeout config to relevant services This commit enables lnd to pass the DBTimeout config to the following services/config/functions, - chainControlConfig - walletunlocker - wallet.NewLoader - macaroons - watchtower In addition, the usage of wallet.Create is updated too. * sample-config: add dbtimeout option
Lightning Network Daemon
The Lightning Network Daemon (lnd) - is a complete implementation of a
Lightning Network node. lnd has several pluggable back-end
chain services including btcd (a
full-node), bitcoind, and
neutrino (a new experimental light client). The project's codebase uses the
btcsuite set of Bitcoin libraries, and also
exports a large set of isolated re-usable Lightning Network related libraries
within it. In the current state lnd is capable of:
- Creating channels.
- Closing channels.
- Completely managing all channel states (including the exceptional ones!).
- Maintaining a fully authenticated+validated channel graph.
- Performing path finding within the network, passively forwarding incoming payments.
- Sending outgoing onion-encrypted payments through the network.
- Updating advertised fee schedules.
- Automatic channel management (
autopilot).
Lightning Network Specification Compliance
lnd fully conforms to the Lightning Network specification
(BOLTs). BOLT stands for:
Basis of Lightning Technology. The specifications are currently being drafted
by several groups of implementers based around the world including the
developers of lnd. The set of specification documents as well as our
implementation of the specification are still a work-in-progress. With that
said, the current status of lnd's BOLT compliance is:
- BOLT 1: Base Protocol
- BOLT 2: Peer Protocol for Channel Management
- BOLT 3: Bitcoin Transaction and Script Formats
- BOLT 4: Onion Routing Protocol
- BOLT 5: Recommendations for On-chain Transaction Handling
- BOLT 7: P2P Node and Channel Discovery
- BOLT 8: Encrypted and Authenticated Transport
- BOLT 9: Assigned Feature Flags
- BOLT 10: DNS Bootstrap and Assisted Node Location
- BOLT 11: Invoice Protocol for Lightning Payments
Developer Resources
The daemon has been designed to be as developer friendly as possible in order
to facilitate application development on top of lnd. Two primary RPC
interfaces are exported: an HTTP REST API, and a gRPC
service. The exported API's are not yet stable, so be warned: they may change
drastically in the near future.
An automatically generated set of documentation for the RPC APIs can be found at api.lightning.community. A set of developer resources including talks, articles, and example applications can be found at: dev.lightning.community.
Finally, we also have an active
Slack where protocol developers, application developers, testers and users gather to
discuss various aspects of lnd and also Lightning in general.
Installation
In order to build from source, please see the installation instructions.

Safety
When operating a mainnet lnd node, please refer to our operational safety
guildelines. It is important to note that lnd is still
beta software and that ignoring these operational guidelines can lead to
loss of funds.
Security
The developers of lnd take security very seriously. The disclosure of
security vulnerabilities helps us secure the health of lnd, privacy of our
users, and also the health of the Lightning Network as a whole. If you find
any issues regarding security or privacy, please disclose the information
responsibly by sending an email to security at lightning dot engineering,
preferably encrypted using our designated PGP key
(91FE464CD75101DA6B6BAB60555C6465E5BCB3AF) which can be found
