Analyzing Bitcoin Transactions with Lightning Node Insights
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

Simulate your first Lightning transaction on the Bitcoin regtest network Part 1 (MacOS)
To be able to follow along, you must have both bitcoind and lnd installed.

If I connect a personal wallet to my Bitcoin Lightning node, do I have to open a channel?
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

I have a dedicated LN seed phrase on a metal seed storage and would like to import it into an LN wallet + would like to have a basic backup of LN data on an encrypted cloud = Which wallet can handle this? Any advice? Note: I don’t want to run an LN node right now.
LND doesn’t use BIP39 mnemonics. https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/blob/master/aezeed/README.md

Advice/suggestions on running a BTC node (w/ lnd) on a Mac Mini 2018
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.

How do you default LND to use Taproot and enable RBF (for on-chain transactions)?
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.
- LND Channel Funds
- lnd v0.16.0-beta released! Huge update - bimodal pathfinding, fundpsbt changes, bug fixes, and more!

Anyone know of a way to see the network diversity of my open channels?
I have also designed my own script that attempts to measure what I call "low fee routing diversity" and score and rank potential channel peers according to how they improve that metric: https://github.com/ajpwahqgbi/lightning-tools/tree/master/channel-analysis/node-recommender .
-
How can we blacklist nodes in c-lightning?
It's definitely possible to prevent other nodes from opening channels with your node. See my plugin here. Preventing connections might be possible; at least you could monitor listpeers and automatically disconnect them.

How to Calculate Earnings?
I wrote a collection of scripts (designed for C-Lightning) to analyze earnings. See in particular get_period_pnl.py: https://github.com/ajpwahqgbi/lightning-tools/tree/master/fee-analysis

Largest Ring of Fire [RoF]
Anyway long paths or high-degree polygons are increasingly less useful. I think it's more interesting to ask something like, "How connected are the most connected parts of the LN?". For that, I have done some analysis.

Need help finding a node to open a channel with
My node has excellent low-fee connectivity across the LN. PM me if you're interested in opening a channel to my node. Otherwise I recommend Wallet of Satoshi or their alternate node.

Lightning Node after 2+ years
You might be interested in my node recommender script which does exactly that.
-
Participating in routing
Once you have at least one channel you can try doing some graph analysis on the LN to find channel peers that improve your metrics. That has worked well for me.
-
Current State of Lightning Network Privacy
I made this C-Lightning plugin to do exactly that. Warning: still needs testing :).

Routing Fee Policy Concept - Discovery and Profitable Cooperation
You watch your forwarding history logs, e.g. lightning-cli listforwards for C-Lightning. You can also automate the analysis and get nice pretty-printed reports of payment volume, fees earned, etc.
