• BTCPayServer on the RaspiBlitz

  This guide will make you have BTCPayServer running on your node using the already synced bitcoin blockchain and local LND node and benefit from the backup and security features of RaspiBlitz and the stock LND.
  No added synchronization needed.

• Electrum Server in Rust (electrs) on the RaspiBlitz

  Can be used as the backend of:

  • Eclair Mobile Bitcoin and Ligthtning wallet
  • Electrum wallet

  `The server indexes the entire Bitcoin blockchain, and the resulting index enables fast queries for any given user wallet, allowing the user to keep real-time track of his balances and his transaction history using the Electrum wallet. Since it runs on the user's own machine, there is no need for the wallet to communicate with external Electrum servers, thus preserving the privacy of the user's addresses and balances.` - https://github.com/romanz/electrs

• RTL SSL/HTTPS access

  Secure remote connection for the Ride the Lightning Web UI

• ZeusLN Tor connection

  Remote wallet for LND connected through Tor on Android

• ZeroTier remote access

  ZeroTier is a VPN service which is an easy option to connect remotely when neither port forwarding nor using Tor is possible (e.g. iOS on a remote network) The drawback is that it requires installing a trusted package which gives access to your private network.

• LND updates

  Automated scripts to download, verify and update LND to the latest release or build from source up to a chosen commit.

• Zap Desktop Lightning wallet connection

  The desktop app ZAP is a cross platform Lightning Network wallet focused on user experience and ease of use.

  If your node is not behind Tor send me a DM on https://twitter.com/openoms and will add you as a peer first.
