## Detailed Limitations The Detailed Limitations section includes only constraints that aren't visible in the [Comparison Tables](#comparison-tables). ### **LND** For LND, the functionality offered by BitBanana is based on the permissions granted by the Macaroon used to connect to LND. BitBanana adapts its interface accordingly. The table above shows the full feature set available with the Admin Macaroon. ### **Core Lightning** * Incoming unconfirmed transactions are not recognized and therefore not reflected in the balance * Transaction history does not display internal transactions (channel events) * No keysend message display * No closing transaction id for closed channels < 100 confirmations * No legacy Segwit addresses (P2PSH) * No live updates of views (refresh manually) * No absolute on-chain fee calculation * UTXOs cannot be locked/unlocked with BitBanana ### Nostr Wallet Connect * No live updates of views (refresh manually) ### LndHub * No live updates of views (refresh manually)
