Setup Lightwalletd

Actually, Lightwalletd (LWD) does not require much configuration. Everything can be specified on the command line.

$ ./lightwalletd --no-tls-very-insecure --zcash-conf-path ./regtest_dir/zcash.conf --data-dir lwd-data --log-file /dev/stdout --grpc-bind-addr 0.0.0.0:9168

• no-tls-very-insecure indicates that we are not using SSL, i.e encrypted HTTP
• zcash-conf-path must point to the same zcashd configuration file
• data-dir gives the path to the LWD data directory
• log-file is self-explanatory
• grpc-bind-addr is where LWD should listen. Here it on port 9168 This must match the configuration of zcash-warp LWD_URL.

LWD should quickly import the first 101 blocks and wait for block #102.
