Re: [Lightning-dev] Just in Time Routing (JIT-Routing) and a channel rebalancing heuristic as an add on for improved routing success in BOLT 1.0

Good morning Ariel and Rene and list, I have started to consider how best to attack the modified Luaces-Pickhardt JIT-Routing, which reuses the same payment hash as the message to forward. (In the case where JIT-Routing is used by the ultimate source of a payment, the payment hash of the

Good morning list I have been thinking about how JIT-Routing can allow the network to be more private and scalable than it currently is today. Rene has mentioned that JIT-Routing allows channel balance information to affect pathing decisions without the source node being aware. I would take

Good morning list, I have been thinking of JIT-Routing in the context of unidirectional channels, as for example in Eclair Mobile. Now of course unidirectional-only nodes as in Eclair Mobile cannot forward and cannot be intermediate nodes. However, as I pointed out in previous email, the same

Hello Rene, ZmnSCPxj, and list  I really like the proposal and I'm sure it's the correct way forward for reducing payment failures and increasing privacy (through mitigating probing based network analysis)  However I am concerned that this proposal could introduce a vulnerability to a

Good morning Rene and list, Let us consider then the rule *when* a rebalancing would be beneficial to the node. The node is offered a fee amount (`offered_fee_amount`) for the forwarding. It knows that, under current channel states, it will definitely have to fail and earn 0 fees. If it

Good morning Rene, The base idea is good at first glance. However, let us consider this situation: 0.1 1.0 A - B 1.5 | / 0.5 |/ | / | / | / |/ | / | / 0.5 | / 0.75
