lnServerUrl should be set to restlisten NOT rpclisten in RTL-config.JSON:

“lnServerUrl”: “https://localhost:8080”

Need to add restlisten in lnd.conf, like below:

restlisten=0.0.0.0:8080

Please do not forget to restart the lnd and the RTL server after making above changes.

Just wanted to come back here and say that I was able to overcome this error CHRE: Initializing btcd backed fee estimator by adding the following params to my lnd.conf

btcd.rpcuser=<hash>
btcd.rpcpass=<hash>
btcd.rpchost=127.0.0.1:8337

I am sorry, I don’t have any experience with running LND with btcd. I have always run it with bitcoind. Although I don’t see a reason why RTL would have any impact on which backend LND is running on.

@bensig Please configure your lnServerUrl with https://localhost:8080 NOT http://localhost:8080.
