Hi, ZmnSCPxj.

Thank you for your reply and explanation.
I will implement it like c-lightning to ptarmigan.

Good morning Nayuta-ueno,

I have some questions.

-   Does `channel_update` send only for `announce_channel == 
0`(in`open_channel.channel_flags`) ?

No, C-lightning always send it.

-   Does `channel_update` send every time after `funding_locked` 
sending(established and reconnection) ?

For C-lightning, the temporary ones are sent after `funding_locked` has been 
sent by both sides, as well as reconnection (only if both sides have sent 
`funding_locked`).  The only time they are not, is if the channel is shutting 
down (and so any fee updates would be pointless, as the channel will no longer 
be useable for forwarding, sending, or receiving) or the channel has already 
achieved the announcement depth.

After announcement depth, "normal" `channel_update` should get sent after a 
`channel_announcement`, and not the temporary ones.

Good morning list,

While implementing support for `r` field in invoices, I stumbled upon some 
issues regarding creating invoices with `r` fields.

In order to receive via an unpublished channel, we need to know what 
onLightning fees the other side of that channel wants to charge.  We cannot use

our own onLightning fees because our fees apply if we were forwarding to the 
other side.

However, in case of an unpublished channel, we do not send 
channel_announcement, and in that case we do not send channel_update.  So the 
other side of

the channel never informs us of the onLightning fees they want to charge if we 
would receive funds by this channel.

An idea we want to consider is to simply send `channel_update` as soon as we 
lock in the channel:

https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/pull/1330#issuecomment-383931817

I want to ask the other LN implementations (lnd, eclair, ucoin, lit) if we 
should consider standardizing this behavior (i.e. send `channel_update`

after lockin  regardless of published/unpublished state).  It seems 
back-compatible: software which does not expect this behavior will simply drop 
the

`channel_update` (as they do not follow a `channel_announcement`).

In any case, what was the intended way to get the onLightning fee rates to put 
into invoice `r` fields for private routes?
