In this commit, we turn the attempt loop into a state machine and put a deterministic event loop in front of it, so that the sender can have several of its own payments in the air at once. The loop is NOT goroutines, and the reasons are concrete. SimGraph has no locking on balances or on the holds map. The traffic rng is a single stream whose draw order IS the exogenous process. The attribution degrader consumes a fixed number of draws per attempt precisely so that two routers face the same sequence. Real parallelism would destroy all three, and with them the reproducibility every sealed tier depends on. So each live payment carries a next-event timestamp, and the scheduler picks the earliest, breaking ties by scenario index, advances the clock to it, runs the background traffic owed for the interval, and executes exactly one step: one RequestRoute, or one dispatch and one ReportAttempt. A payment splits between those two because the window between choosing a route and hearing what happened to it is the only window two of the sender's payments can share. One payment is a batch of one on the same loop, so the sequential behavior the concurrent path has to reproduce is the behavior it actually reproduces rather than a second implementation of it. The gap between payments is measured from the moment the slot freed, which is what makes max_in_flight one identical to the loop it replaces: 256 paired whole-output runs across the sealed hard, ood and corpus-mix tiers and regenerated default, hard, drift, split and atomic corpora, both arms, zero diffs, plus 132 mainnet runs compared as aggregate sets because of stage B's finding 4. Two things follow from running the traffic per interval rather than per payment, and both are deliberate. A concurrent batch clears in less virtual time and therefore churns the network for less of it. And the whole window fills at once, since every slot is free when the batch starts, so the first max_in_flight payments plan against the same balances. SimBalanceRefresher is the optional half of the contract: a router that wants to be told its own outbound liquidity moved under it can be, and router_accepts_balance_refresh says who asked. No router in this program does, which is exp-016's lesson applied before the fact rather than after it. self_contention_failures is the number the stage exists to produce, and it is causal rather than coincidental. The runner reads the failing edge's true balance and reservation at the moment of the failure and asks whether the edge would have carried the amount with the siblings' share removed. Without atomic mpp nothing reserves anything, so the counter is structurally zero and that tier is the free control. |

Lightning Network Daemon
The Lightning Network Daemon (lnd) - is a complete implementation of a
Lightning Network node. 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:
Basis of Lightning Technology. 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 APIs 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 guides, articles, example applications and community resources can be found at: docs.lightning.engineering.
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.
First-time contributors are highly encouraged to start with code review first, before creating their own Pull Requests.
Installation
In order to build from source, please see the installation instructions.

Safety
When operating a mainnet lnd node, please refer to our operational safety
guidelines. It is important to note that lnd is still
beta software and that ignoring these operational guidelines can lead to
loss of funds.
Security
The developers of lnd take security very seriously. The disclosure of
security vulnerabilities helps us secure the health of lnd, privacy of our
users, and also the health of the Lightning Network as a whole. If you find
any issues regarding security or privacy, please disclose the information
responsibly by sending an email to security at lightning dot engineering,
preferably encrypted using our designated PGP key
(91FE464CD75101DA6B6BAB60555C6465E5BCB3AF) which can be found
