There are (at least) two available forks of lightwalletd

https://github.com/adityapk00/lightwalletd

AND

https://github.com/zcash/lightwalletd

We need to choose one, clearly indicate the choice, and target it exclusively.

This bug report might provide a criteria for choosing between the alternatives:
adityapk00/zecwallet-lite#156 (comment)

My instinct is to target upstream, without very convincing benefits to using aditya's. It's yet another large codebase to keep up with maintenance of in a language I don't believe any of us are particularly experienced with, which is in my opinion a very large downside, especially given the scale of what we're already trying to get up to speed with.

[zancas]

I tentatively agree... but mostly think we need more evidence/data.

This bugfix seems to argue in favor of the zcash variant:

https://github.com/zcash/lightwalletd/releases/tag/v0.4.11

We've moved to zcash's version, though we are still fiddling with which branch should use which dependency branch or commit.

Closing.
