📝 Original message:
Segwit has been merged into btcd for for sometime now. It's also possible to
run with bitcoind. I encourage you to check out the documentation:
https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/blob/master/docs/INSTALL.md

In lnd, the chain backend has already been abstracted[1]. This is what
allows
it to run with any of the three supported chain backends (btcd, bitcoind,
neutrino). I invite you to continue this conversation on #lnd on Freenode.
