Dear All,
I would like to announce our new paper on the ant routing algorithm for the
lightning network. The paper is available online here:
https://arxiv.org/abs/2002.01374. It gives an estimate for the scalability of
the ant routing algorithm.
If you have any question regarding our work,

The original motivation was to keep the funding transaction from being
rejected from the mempool in the case of a re-org, but as you pointed out,
the 'next block' is always at -par or ahead of the current chain tip, so
I'm not sure this
Good morning lisa,

Good morning Gabriel,
Interesting idea and it helps to reduce routemap size by completely eliminating
the routemap, and also removes distinctions between published and unpublished
channels by making every channel unpublished.
However there seem to be some considerations as well.
