Title: Phoenixd - run your own minimal, specialized Lightning node!
Post by: cygan on March 23, 2024, 07:45:09 AM
yesterday, Phoenix released its own lightning node, Phoenixd.
phoenixd is compiled into native binaries for linux, mac (x86 & arm) and windows (wsl). like the well-known ln wallet, the node is also self-custodial and generates a 12-word seed on startup.
its intended for developers/companies who want to build on lightning with minimal effort and maximum reliability, without compromising on self-management.
here are a few useful links on the whole topic:

You have just given me homework. It's also writen in Kotlin which is a language that I can read easily. Let's see.

Have you tried it? Or is it too early yet?
