I have my own lnd (+ my albyhub btw) and core instances with maybe 15 fat channels. But always on a hunt for good/solid peers.

yeah, LND seems mostly good but it has some awful bugs in it outside of its network activity. my friend tried to build a docker for it and discovered that its configuration system was a mess. i have worked with btcd before, from the same devs, and it also had a lot of similar bugs in it, that i fixed forking it for the project i was working on (was basically my debut to doing golang server dev)
