rust-bitcoin VS lnd

Rust-bitcoin 0.28.0 is already old it appears 0.29.0 was released in August and technically it's a different issue than I was discussing above, just tripped up by the same transaction.

Upvote for the effort but Solana is going to be worth 0 rather soon, while Bitcoin is just going to get oxidized eventually. Similarly Linux - not replaced, oxidized.

As one of the main maintainers of rust-bitcoin library, we are looking for a skilled Rust developer to help us build the RGB protocol and LNP/BP tech stack according to programming best practices.

Kraken is thrilled to announce a commitment to fund Bitcoin’s open-source Rust development ecosystem. In memory of late Bitcoin Rust contributor and former Kraken employee, Tamás Blummer, our internal Tamás Blummer Memorial Fund aims to accelerate the development of Bitcoin Rust libraries. A pioneering entrepreneur involved in several Bitcoin companies, Tamás created a Bitcoin library written in the language before passing in 2020 after a long fight with cancer. “Kraken remains committed to cryptocurrency and furthering the work of its pioneers,” said Kraken CEO Jesse Powell. “We hope this initiative showcases our commitment to investing in the future of Bitcoin in a way befitting Tamás’ legacy as an evangelist, colleague and friend.” The Tamás Blummer Memorial Fund will be guided by an independent advisory board, ensuring it remains aligned with the needs of Bitcoin’s open-source contributors. Helping direct the initiative will be Blockstream Director of Research Andrew Poelstra, independent researcher Tuur Demeester and Kraken Bitcoin Product Manager Pierre Rochard. To begin the effort, Kraken has committed to hiring a Senior Open-Source Engineer tasked with improving the development flow for the Bitcoin Rust project. An independent position funded by Kraken, this role will be supported by our engineering leadership as well as our advisors. Interested? Take a look at the full job description. As Rust increasingly becomes a core part of our codebase, Kraken is also hiring for a number of Rust-related roles: Backend Engineer, Senior Banking Engineer and QA Engineer. Rust is a language renowned for its focus on safety and performance – an ethos that resonates deeply with our own as a global exchange. In launching the Tamás Blummer Memorial Fund, we strive to continue Tamás’ work in nurturing a security-oriented Bitcoin ecosystem. Team Kraken

Yeah, it was a breeze to implement, especially using rust-bitcoin.

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.
