Re: LND's continued priorities on shitcoins
I think post author is referring to LND's Taproot Assets (a.k.a Taro)
Here is from Lightning Labs recent newsletter (August 2023):
"""
Over the next year we will also probably see more APIs added to support the Taproot Assets project because that will be built on top of LND but not be tightly integrated internal to LND, similar to the Faraday, Aperture, Loop, and Pool projects that are part of the extended release bundle. A new PR adds a new signing API needed by that project:
"add schnorr_sig_single_tweak option to msg signing"
- Github issue 7898
The Taproot Assets integration is also expected to have a heavy impact on the Taproot channels implementation so that the asset control can be handled by an external daemon. These APIs will allow for a clean separation and conceptually there could even be multiple competing Taproot Asset daemon implementations that would all leverage the same API interface.
