Support for Neutrino-SPV

[elaineo]

In order to run lnd in its light client mode, you’ll need to locate a full-node which is capable of serving this new light client mode. A BIP draft exists, and will be finalized in the near future, but for now you’ll need to be running roasbeef’s fork of btcd. A public instance of such a node can be found at faucet.lightning.community.

To run lnd in neutrino mode, run lnd with the following arguments, (swapping in --bitcoin.simnet if needed), and also your own btcd node if available:

lnd --bitcoin.active --bitcoin.testnet --debuglevel=debug --bitcoin.node=neutrino --neutrino.connect=faucet.lightning.community
