lightning-node-management VS lnd

This was helpful for #8 to get a watchtower going: https://lightningnetwork.plus/watchtower. The instructions are slightly different with a RaspiBlitz, but you can use the info from that page with these instructions to get it set up: https://github.com/openoms/lightning-node-management/blob/master/advanced-tools/watchtower.md

You can set your node to be monitored by a watchtower. More here. If something happens while your node is down, they will help catch it.

Here is a good resource when starting a LN node: https://openoms.gitbook.io/lightning-node-management/

Install LND: https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/blob/master/docs/INSTALL.md#install-lnd Install Bitcoin Core: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/build-windows.md#building-with-mingw-w64-cross-tools

To be able to follow along, you must have both bitcoind and lnd installed.

If you want multiple users, you'll need multiple node instances. LNbits (mentioned by /u/sos755) does not implement this. Rather, it simply abstracts the funds associated with a single node into multiple logical accounts. This means that the node administrator still has underlying control of all funds associated with the node. See this GitHub discussion for a bit more info: https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/issues/2652

LND doesn’t use BIP39 mnemonics. https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/blob/master/aezeed/README.md

Both Bitcoin Core and LND have binaries available for macOS, for example. I have not seen an actual guide to set everything up on macOS tho. It's quite similar to Linux honestly.

As for taproot change addresses, this has been the default behaviour since version 0.15.5. Just update your lnd and you're all set.
