About
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.

Configuring lnd
Sample config: https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/blob/master/sample-lnd.conf
Sample bitcoind config
Working bitcoind config.
listen=1 maxconnections=200 server=1 rpcuser=username rpcpassword=secret rpcport=8332 datadir=/hdd/bitcoin daemon=1 zmqpubrawblock=tcp://127.0.0.1:28332 zmqpubrawtx=tcp://127.0.0.1:28333 timeout=15000
Updating to a specific tag
If you build from source, go to the src dir and do:
- cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd
- git fetch --tags
- git checkout v0.5.2-beta
- make
- make install
