For one thing having a single connection means that the peer you're
connecting to can see all your payment amounts and their timings, and
they can be sure that they are from you since you don't have any other
channel. Opening more channels gives you plausible deniability. Also
it'd make your single
Hi Cristian,
If there is such a great company, BlockStream. and Blockstream runs a
fantastic high quality node, then as a user why should I connect to
any node other than Blockstream?
In this case I dont need to be online all the time and dont need to
monitor the blockchain for anything. I will ju
Let me add some more color to the discussion.
If you do not announce the existence of the channel to the wider network
you can still receive incoming payments, by simply telling the payment
sender about the channel. This is what is being done in the payment
request by adding the `r` parameter to t
_htlcs). If those limits would

If I would have only a single outgoing channel I would not have to

Thank you
Presumably many nodes will be behind firewalls. Are there any
firewall traversal mechanisms included (or some type of an overlay
network)?)

There are no UIs to my knowledge. Current LN programs keep track of this in
their databases, although each one varies in detail. Presumably their

In this case there is some kind of an UI where I can accept or

By whatever selection criteria you wish.
In practice, lnd offers an "auto-pilot" where it selects peers to channel with
automatically using some heuristic (which I do not know). My understanding,

I have been reading LN specs, one question that I am trying to answer
is how do I find a peer
for my lightning connections.
Lets say I want to connect to the network with 6 links, each having $100.
1. How do I select the nodes to peer with?
2. How do I make them to do deposits - ideally I want t
14 matches
