Manifesting good things
fast was not my experience . cake too. slow syncing. slow swapping. slow everything. I'll be curious to follow your experience. please continue to share.

*"Fast and stable is key – reminds me of how Bitcoin ETF flows shifted in 2026 when institutional players chased efficiency over hype. Smaller funds bled assets while the top three soaked up 80% of inflows. Always comes down to infrastructure.

My SearXNG app recently began failing. A search error message no matter what is searched for.
You seeing that too?
Otherwise, I love, love, love my #Start9.
Does it fix the stale data/chain sync errors that cause funds to not be available and eventually require using Sparrow Wallet to recover the on-chain funds?
I understand it's a hard problem with a device that isn't always, an app that could get backgrounded at any time and so on. But I'm not going to recommend it unless it's extremely reliable.
If you say those issues are behind us now, I'll give it another go.
Yes.
Its much faster (syncing) than Embedded LND...
For now zero problems.
Right now embedded node is real and useful... 😎👍
LFG!
OK then. I'll give it another try.
The fact the the "node docs" link on 
is a 404 error is not encouraging. It not like this is some obscure page buried deep in the documentation with a broken link.
I just wanted to know the difference between an LDK Node vs Embedded LND.

I do appreciate that they have a 3rd party FDroid repo, so that's a point in their favor. I take it they're not qualified to get included in to main repo? I know that requires using 100% open source libraries, which is a standard that many "open-source" apps still fail to meet.
TY. Is there an expectation that LDK might get some of these features in the future (e.g. be able to backup to a file instead of auutomatically putting backups on some remote server), or are these inherient limitations based on the design?
Yes. Hoping to have parity with LND somewhat soon.
