Don't try to port it to mainnet or an altcoin and use it! No really. Lightning transactions will be fast, but for now, you have to wait. Don't try to port it to mainnet or an altcoin and use it! No really. Lightning transactions will be fast, but for now, you have to wait.
## chainntfs ### chainntfs
A package centered around a generic interface for receiving transaction/confirmation based notifications concerning the blockchain. Such notifications are required in order for pending payment channels to be notified once the funding transaction gains a specified number of confirmations, and in order to catch a counter-party attempting a non-cooperative close using a past commitment transaction to steal funds.

At the moment, it only has a single concrete implementation: using btcd's websockets notifications. However, more implementations of the interface are planned, such as electrum, polling via JSON-RPC, Bitcoin Core's ZeroMQ notifications, and more.

## channeldb ### channeldb
lnd's primary datastore. It uses a generic interface defined in [walletdb](https://godoc.org/github.com/btcsuite/btcwallet/walletdb) allowing for usage of any sotrage backend which adheres to the interface. The current concrete implementation used is driven by [bolt](https://github.com/boltdb/bolt). `channeldb` is responsible for storing state such as meta-data concerning the current open channels, closed channels, past routes we used, fee schedules within the network, and information about remote peers (ID, uptime, reputation, etc). lnd's primary datastore.
