<p>We researched a while back all alternatives and it turned out alternatives like Neutrino have not been solid enough (at least 6 months back) to be used.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Neutrino is still not rock solid, but it's usable. It's an officially mainnet backend option by one of the major <a href="https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/3358" data-hovercard-type="pull_request" data-hovercard-url="/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/3358/hovercard">LN implementations</a>. Full bitcoind support to serve the filters in the upcoming two releases. I believe it's worth considering to start switching now.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>To use Electum servers seems to be the most realistic approach but that is the same model with federated servers.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Agree, forgot to list that and definitely much anyways much better than bisq trying to maintain it's own federation.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>With the v2 trade protocol this issue would become less of an issue as Bisq would not require a BTC wallet anymore and people can use whatever they want (full node, hardware wallet,...).</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Right, that's what I meant in <a class="issue-link js-issue-link" data-error-text="Failed to load issue title" data-id="514077816" data-permission-text="Issue title is private" data-url="https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/issues/3506" data-hovercard-type="pull_request" data-hovercard-url="/bisq-network/bisq/pull/3506/hovercard?comment_id=549331826&comment_type=issue_comment" href="https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/pull/3506#issuecomment-549331826">#3506 (comment)</a>. Still many users might not have or want to use a separate wallet and there should be a decent default choice.</p>
<p>In summary I believe it's time to consider either Neutrino or Electrum.</p>
