What are best tools for ground up bitcoin/lightning node?
4 projects | /r/lightningnetwork | 26 Dec 2022

I like RTL, services like loopd for channel rebalancing or if you're so inclined, the whole lightning terminal package. I love jochen's mempool explorer (source code) when estimating fees. I use blockstream's block explorer esplora (source) for my block explorer. There's so many fun tools out there I can't even come close to naming them all.

Nix is a better Docker image builder than Docker's image builder

Yes, fantastic work. Downside is that snapshot.debian.org is extremely slow, times out / errors out regularly - very annoying. See also e.g. https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues/8496 for complaints (but it's pretty apparent once you integrate this in your builds).

Electrum (https://electrum.org) can do that. Under "View" enable the tab "Coins" and then right click on the UTXO you're interested in, "Copy" > "Long Output point".
