Just a question though: Why not include Bitcoin on the Lightning Network (mainnet testing) list?
Isn't Blockstream testing on the mainnet as well?

You are totally right, I just have added BTC. It's not only Blockstream, there are enthusiasts of different groups as well. It is however still not recommended for everyday use and there seem to be still security problems which made some of the testers lose money.

Komodo KMD : Not like a BTC LN

Decred DCR : https://forum.decred.org/threads/dd-26-v1-1-0-09-23-17.5735/

Both seem to be in early planning stages and at last Decred - which is a major rewrite of Bitcoin's code - would probably use other means than Segwit to achieve the necessary malleability fix for LN. So for now, I'll not add them.

Komodo itself also seems to not plan to use Segwit, only its platform's "sub-currency" Chips.

Decred is built by the guys who wrote BTC suite, btcd daemon and tools, the golang implementation for bitcoin that one one of the lightning implementations relies on, lnd I think. They don't have Segwit, but they have a malleability fix in place since launch, and have or will shortly have lightning working on their network. See top comment here:

Also, I would say Bitcoin shouldn't be mentioned based on the fact that the thread title specifies altcoin, which BTC clearly is not.
