Where is the download button for the official, highly trusted CLI application which works with Bitcoin Core? So that I can actually make Lightning transactions?
I've spent so long trying to figure out how to actually use this thing. I can't have the current large fees for my products/services which are the same amount as the fee. That's why I need to support Lightning Network. But how? Why is there no information?
