Lightning Network developers released a testnet desktop application today for Lnd. According to the blog post, this will unleash a blitz of testing on the network. The developers actively want technical users to immediately begin experimenting with the application. They provided an official download link from their Github site.

The blog post said, “Today, we’re thrilled to be releasing a new cross-platform demo Desktop App for Lnd. The release of this new demo wallet kicks-off a two-week “testing blitz” during which we hope Lightning users with a technical inclination can start testing the wallet, giving feedback, filing bugs, etc.

The blog post said the Lightning Protocol specifications are nearly complete, but that things could change before the final release date for the app. The blog clarified:

As a result, we’ll only be maintaining compatibility with the desktop application for approximately the next two weeks before switching to a regular release cycle once the specifications have been frozen and we’ve achieved cross-implementation compatibility

This project is really actively developed. A lots of commits already are there. Great to hear that it can be tested now.
