Open Source Windows Networking Software

Buy and sell bitcoin for fiat (or other cryptocurrencies) privately and securely using Bisq's peer-to-peer network and open-source desktop software. No registration is required. Get started in minutes. No need to wait for approval from a central authority. Trading takes place on a global P2P network of users running Bisq on their own machines. Bisq never holds your funds. Deposits held in 2-of-2 multi-sig wallets encourage safe, successful trades. Your data is stored locally on disk, and is never sent to a central server. Every Bisq node is a Tor hidden service by default. Code is open-source, and project strategy is discussed openly on Keybase and GitHub. We've made all this sophistication simple, make your first trade in under 10 minutes! Decentralized governance for a decentralized exchange, built on top of Bitcoin.

Eclair (French for Lightning) is a Scala implementation of the Lightning Network. This software follows the Lightning Network Specifications (BOLTs). Other implementations include c-lightning, lnd, electrum, and rust-lightning. Eclair offers a feature-rich HTTP API that enables application developers to easily integrate. Eclair's JSON API should NOT be accessible from the outside world (similarly to Bitcoin Core API). Eclair requires Bitcoin Core 0.20.1 or 0.21.1. (other versions of Bitcoin Core are not actively tested - use at your own risk). If you are upgrading an existing wallet, you may need to create a new address and send all your funds to that address. Eclair needs a synchronized, segwit-ready, zeromq-enabled, wallet-enabled, non-pruning, tx-indexing Bitcoin Core node. You must configure your Bitcoin node to use bech32 (segwit) addresses.

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, and 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 is still a work in progress. 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.

Mastering the Lightning Network is an O'Reilly Media book, by authors Andreas M. Antonopoulos (@aantonop), Olaoluwa Osuntokun (@roasbeef), Rene Pickhardt (@renepickhardt). It was published on Dec 21, 2021, in paperback and e-book, by O'Reilly Media. It is available everywhere that books are sold. This repository contains the manuscript of the book as published by O'Reilly Media, tagged as firstedition_firstprint. The book describes the Lightning Network (LN), a Peer-to-Peer protocol running on top of Bitcoin and other blockchains, which provides near-instant, secure, micro-payments. The book is suitable for technical readers with an understanding of the fundamentals of Bitcoin and other open blockchains.
