Description

@pbraun9

LND here is up against testnet4 but shows following error

2025-06-13 21:45:52.780 [INF] DISC: Attempting to bootstrap with: Authenticated Channel Graph
2025-06-13 21:45:52.780 [ERR] SRVR: Unable to retrieve initial bootstrap peers: no addresses found

I am behind multiple NATs but that shouldn't prevent me from reaching the LND seeding nodes right?
I can reach some LND seeding nodes on 9735/tcp against test.nodes.lightning.directory.
Question is, are those only for legacy testnet or also offering testnet4?
Are there testnet4 LND seeding public nodes?

I have bitcoind as backend and it's in sync (progress=1).
