Re: [Lightning-dev] High level fee mechanics

Do (should) channels have the option of publicizing their balances, so as to improve routing performance / scalability in a large network, and for competitive differentiation among competing routes? This would allow channel owners to balance privacy with efficiency, and where the incentive to

Re: [Lightning-dev] An Idea to Improve Connectivity of the Graph

Good morning Alejandro, I was about to ask Christian this myself. There is another technique: Use a sequence of `nSequence`d transactions off-chain. For example, to get an 2-bit counter, you would have: funding -> kickoff -> bit1 -> bit0 Only funding is onchain. kickoff, bit1, and bit0

Re: [Lightning-dev] High level fee mechanics

Hi ZmnSCPxj, No, channel balance of each peer on the channel is not revealed on node gossip. Logically, invert the question: do you want to report how much you spend/receive on each of your channels to the network? Do you want to report how much you own on Lightning to be reported to
