Signet + LND

[RutgerBlume]

Hello my friends,

I am in need of some help. I am trying to have lnd client working with the signet chain. Is it possible at all or should I move to c-lightning instead? (I saw some documentation online where it looks like c-lightning does have support for signet).

Thank you very much.

There is no support for signet in lnd, so you're stuck with c-lightning if you want that. The parameter to use it there is  --network=signet or just --signet.

Is there any reason why you can't use regtest on lnd though? There are quite a few tools[1][2] that make use of both of them.

LND has signet support in latest beta, just got it up and running, tho not many nodes out there yet.

You have to enable it first by placing bitcoin.signet = true in the lnd.conf file.

According to lnd PR #5025, it's reusing mainnet's DNS seeds for Signet, which partially explains why there are hardly any signet nodes to connect to - Bitcoin Core itself only has a few of them listening for connections.
