lnd VS electrs

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.

There seems to be a Rust implementation of the server (electrs via https://github.com/romanz/electrs ). It was recommended as part of a Medium article on how to set up an Electrum server. So far it seems fine - but, what are your inputs on it?

romanz/electrs. This is a common choice for its low resource requirements, and most full-node distros use it. But while this implementation works great for basic queries, it will struggle with heavier ones (e.g. looking up addresses with many transactions)—especially when running on low-power hardware like a Raspberry Pi.

Electrs v0.9.10 (Released: 3st November 2022) - https://github.com/romanz/electrs/releases

To gain some privacy by using Electrum you should set up Tor on Network preferences or by installing your own Electrum server via Electrum Personal Server, ElectrumX or Electrs.

Electrum can be connected to you full node if you also run this: https://github.com/romanz/electrs

Electrs: https://github.com/romanz/electrs (Instead of electrs you can also use "Electrum personal server" to connect Bitcoin core to Electrum).

LND v0.14.3 - Release page - Upgrade guide This release contains only a series of bug fixes, and doesn't introduce any backwards compatible changes (database migrations, etc) from the prior version. Notable fixes in this release include: a fix to an invoice registry related deadlock, a fix for an edge case when running the remote signer operating mode, and a fix to ensure that 3rd parties sweeping an anchor UTXO doesn't lead to the wallet having a fragmented internal UTXO state, and a fix for a payment state inconsistency (a payment looks like it was stuck though no HTLCs exist).Full release notes.
