Top 23 lightning-network Open-Source Projects

  • lnd

    Lightning Network Daemon ⚡️

    Project mention: If I connect a personal wallet to my Bitcoin Lightning node, do I have to open a channel? | /r/BitcoinBeginners | 2023-07-30

    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

  • electrum

    Electrum Bitcoin Wallet

    Project mention: Nix is a better Docker image builder than Docker's image builder | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-15

    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).

  • InfluxDB

    Project mention: How to Easily Accept Bitcoin Payments in WordPress (Step by Step) | /r/Bitcoin | 2023-12-09
  • lnbook

    Mastering the Lightning Network (LN)

    Project mention: Phoenix wallet 1% fee for channel creation? | /r/lightningnetwork | 2023-06-08

    p.s.: if you're unfamiliar with these terms, I suggest you read the How the Lightning Network works chapter of Mastering The Lightning Network by Andreas Antonopoulos. It's not too technical and if you have a basic understanding of Bitcoin, you won't have any trouble reading it.

  • lightning

    Core Lightning — Lightning Network implementation focusing on spec compliance and performance

    Project mention: Opening channel from external wallet in Core Lightning | /r/lightningnetwork | 2023-12-04
  • bolts

    BOLT: Basis of Lightning Technology (Lightning Network Specifications)

    Project mention: Smart Contract Security Field Guide | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-07-26

    True although I'm not talking about Ethereum smart contracts, I'm talking about Bitcoin ones which are very limited and not Turing complete. The lightning smart contract is like 20 lines and has been live since 2018, I feel the probability of the contract getting hacked is very low(famous last words!) https://github.com/lightning/bolts/blob/master/03-transactio...

  • LNbits

    LNbits, free and open-source Lightning wallet and accounts system.

    Project mention: Well known LN node to connect to? | /r/bluewallet | 2023-06-01

    lnbits.com or getalby.com allow you to use BlueWallet lightning wallet interface. They are custodial, so you could always use a different custodial lightning wallet or a non-custodial one instead.
