Hi everyone! I am looking for a way to run a LN node inside the browser. One way would be to implement BOLT protocol from scratch in JS, but I am thinking of a more easy way.
Has anyone succeed in compiling, for example, c-lightning project ( https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning) under WebAssembly ( http://webassembly.org/getting-started/developers-guide/). WebAssembly is a C/C++ compiler into browser-compatible byte-code. It can use JS-API, but can also work with low-level C functions. There are some things c-lighting does (e.g. sockets), that should stop it from compiling easily. However, there are wrappers for many C-functions by Emscripten lib: https://github.com/kripken/emscripten. My question is what should I look for when trying to run that? And also, I want to hear your general feedback on the idea. Aleksey Bykhun.
