It currently is being designed for testnet-L, a test network where all txids are normalized. The plan is to eventually use the agreed longer-term solution (segwit?), but we want to not be concerned with updates to segwit, so we're running with this. Normalized txids fixes malleability but isn't something that will/can be integrated to the existing bitcoin network cleanly (so it's a good way to ensure testing-only before segwit is finalized, which solves the problem too).
This version of Lnd is not yet fully-operational, but a proof of concept on testnet-L will likely exist soon. The projection is it will be operational before necessary the necessary malleabilty soft-forks are into bitcoin mainnet (may be significantly before if there are any delays in mainnet malleability fix).

Don't try to port it to mainnet or an altcoin and use it today! No really. Lightning transactions will be fast, but for now, please wait just a little bit.

### channeldb
lnd's primary datastore. It uses a generic interface defined in [walletdb](https://godoc.org/github.com/btcsuite/btcwallet/walletdb) allowing for usage of any sotrage backend which adheres to the interface. The current concrete implementation used is driven by [bolt](https://github.com/boltdb/bolt). `channeldb` is responsible for storing state such as meta-data concerning the current open channels, closed channels, past routes we used, fee schedules within the network, and information about remote peers (ID, uptime, reputation, etc).

An application specific, yet general Bitcoin wallet which understands all the fancy script, and transaction formats needed to transact on the Lightning Network. The interface, and interaction with the core wallet logic has been designed independent of any peer-to-peer communication. The goal is to make lnwallet self-contained, and easily embeddable within future projects interacting with the Lightning Network. The current state machine for channel updates is blocking, only allowing one pending update at a time. This will soon be replaced in favor of the highly concurrent, non-blocking state machine within `lnstate`.
### lnwire
Library of messages for Lightning Network node to node communcations. Messages for opening and closing channels, as well as updating and revoking channel states are described here.
