Except we have invoices with no specified amount (payer dictates how much to pay). Which is why we need to send the total amount to the payee as part of the onion final hop, for the case the invoice has no specified amount. Regards, ZmnSCPxj Sent with [ProtonMail](https://protonmail.com)

Good morning Johan, I believe what Rusty refers to here is a probe by an intermediate node, rather than a probe by the source node (who, as we know, already knows whether the payee supports AMP or not, by the invoice). Regards, ZmnSCPxj Sent with [ProtonMail](https://protonmail.com) Secure

This shouldn't be problem, as the invoice will already indicate that the node supports BaseAMP. If you have a reason to not reveal that you support BAMP for certain invoices, you'll just not specify it in the invoice, and act non-BAMPy when receiving payments to this payment hash. Of course, this

Seems like we can restrict the changes to BOLT11 by having the receiver assume NAMP for incoming payments < invoice_amount. (with some timeout of course, but that would need to be the case even when the sender is signalling NAMP). Cheers, Johan On Wed, Nov 21, 2018 at 3:55 AM ZmnSCPxj via

I'm not sure this is an improvement at all over just allowing a single merge-point, i.e., the destination. You see as long as we don't attempt intermediate merges the routes are independent and failures of one HTLC do not impact any other parts. Take for example the network below: /

Good morning Christian, The improvement is in a reduction in `fee_base_msat` in the C->D path. If C is the merge point, then the C->D `fee_base_msat` is only paid once, not twice. In effect, A is rationally choosing between a lower fee and better payment reliability. Granted, current
