In this commit, we update the logic in the AuthenticatedGossiper to ensure that can properly create, manage, and dispatch messages to any gossipSyncer instances created by the server. With this set of changes, the gossip now has complete knowledge of the current set of peers we're conneted to that support the new range queries. Upon initial connect, InitSyncState will be called by the server if the new peer understands the set of gossip queries. This will then create a new spot in the peerSyncers map for the new syncer. For each new gossip query message, we'll then attempt to dispatch the message directly to the gossip syncer. When the peer has disconnected, we then expect the server to call the PruneSyncState method which will allow us to free up the resources. Finally, when we go to broadcast messages, we'll send the messages directly to the peers that have gossipSyncer instances active, so they can properly be filtered out. For those that don't we'll broadcast directly, ensuring we skip *all* peers that have an active gossip syncer. |

Lightning Network Daemon
The Lightning Network Daemon (lnd
) - is a complete implementation of a
Lightning Network node and currently deployed on
testnet3
- the Bitcoin Test Network. lnd
has several pluggable back-end
chain services including btcd
(a
full-node), bitcoind
, and
neutrino
(a new experimental light client). The project's codebase uses the
btcsuite set of Bitcoin libraries, and also
exports a large set of isolated re-usable Lightning Network related libraries
within it. In the current state lnd
is capable of:
- Creating channels.
- Closing channels.
- Completely managing all channel states (including the exceptional ones!).
- Maintaining a fully authenticated+validated channel graph.
- Performing path finding within the network, passively forwarding incoming payments.
- Sending outgoing onion-encrypted payments through the network.
- Updating advertised fee schedules.
- Automatic channel management (
autopilot
).
Lightning Network Specification Compliance
lnd
fully conforms to the Lightning Network specification
(BOLTs). BOLT stands for:
Basic of Lightning Technologies. The specifications are currently being drafted
by several groups of implementers based around the world including the
developers of lnd
. The set of specification documents as well as our
implementation of the specification are still a work-in-progress. With that
said, the current status of lnd
's BOLT compliance is:
- BOLT 1: Base Protocol
- BOLT 2: Peer Protocol for Channel Management
- BOLT 3: Bitcoin Transaction and Script Formats
- BOLT 4: Onion Routing Protocol
- BOLT 5: Recommendations for On-chain Transaction Handling
- BOLT 7: P2P Node and Channel Discovery
- BOLT 8: Encrypted and Authenticated Transport
- BOLT 9: Assigned Feature Flags
- BOLT 10: DNS Bootstrap and Assisted Node Location
- BOLT 11: Invoice Protocol for Lightning Payments
Developer Resources
The daemon has been designed to be as developer friendly as possible in order
to facilitate application development on top of lnd
. Two primary RPC
interfaces are exported: an HTTP REST API, and a gRPC
service. The exported API's are not yet stable, so be warned: they may change
drastically in the near future.
An automatically generated set of documentation for the RPC APIs can be found at api.lightning.community. A set of developer resources including talks, articles, and example applications can be found at: dev.lightning.community.
Finally, we also have an active
Slack where protocol developers, application developers, testers and users gather to
discuss various aspects of lnd
and also Lightning in general.
Installation
In order to build from source, please see the installation instructions.
