About[edit]
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.
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.

Updating to a specific tag[edit]
If you build from source, go to the src dir and do:
- stop lnd (lncli stop)
- cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd
- git fetch --tags
- git checkout v0.5.2-beta
- make
- make install
