This is the first alpha v0.1 release of lit. It does some cool things, but is buggy and should not be used with real money. This code and the binaries will only connect to test networks.

Try running a lit node, getting some test coins from a faucet, converting them to segwit outputs, and building channels! Also, if you find some bugs, you can report them in the issues tab, or better yet, try to fix them! (please don't re-report bugs though; there's quite a few known ones we have to work on)

The release zip and xz files contain 2 files: lit and lit-af. lit is the peer to peer node, like bitcoind. lit-af is the interactive shell to control the lit node, somewhat like bitcoin-cli, but more fun.

The arm7linux release should run on raspberry pi 2 and 3. Darwin may run on macintosh computers but I don't think anyone has tried that. the windows .exe files also are less tested, but should work. Amd64 linux is what many of the developers use. We'd like to know about ugs on different architectures / OSs!

Have fun with this preview, and we will work on making the next release soon!
