I am performing some experiments on the Lightning Testnet Network. I would like to perform the experiment on the 3 main lightning implementations, for which I would like to be able to connect and open a channel with an lnd, c-lightning and eclair node.

  • Is there a list of lnd, c-lightning, eclair nodes that are announced? even if just in testnet?
  • Is there a way of knowing this?

As far as I know there is no way of knowing this on a protocol level... What you could do is to set up your own nodes (each node with a certain implementation) or some people say publicly which nodes they run. For example my node is c Lightning, ACINQ is using eclair and I believe rompert is running on lnd. Also on 1ml.com some owners register their nodes and tell what they are running. Of course they could lie...

Yes as Rene mentioned, no such way to detect type is provided in protocols, but at 1ml.com you can see what type of node is being run. The data at 1ml is filled by node owners manually so it may be incorrect as well.

For experimenting you need to start all the type of nodes, that would be better option.
