To make the autopilot able to account for fees, we let it use the
subtractFees option when opening channels.
This makes sure that each channel we attempt to open will eat at most
Amt out of our budget. Previously fees would eat into our funds in
addition, causing us to deplete our funds more than expected on each
channel opening.
To decouple the autopilot heuristic from the constraints, we start by
abstracting them behind an interface to make them easier to mock. We
also rename them HeuristicConstraints->AgentConstraints to make it clear
that they are now constraints the agent must adhere to.
This commit moves the responsibility of managing the life cycle of the
autopilot from main to the autopilot Manager. It utilizes the recently
introduced autopilot Manager, and just sets up the necessary interfaces
for the Manager to properly set up the required subscriptions when
starting the agent.
In this commit, we remove the disconnection logic within the
chanController when failing to open a channel with a peer. We do this as
it's already done within the autopilot agent, where it should be, and
because it's possible that we were already connected to this node and we
happened to disconnect them anyway.
In this commit, we modify the balanceUpdate autopilot signal to update
the balance according to what's returned to the WalletBalance callback
rather than explicitly tracking the balance. This gives the agent a
better sense of what the wallet's balance actually is.
This commit fixes a small bug that could cause us to disconnect an
already connected peer if no addresses where provided to the ConnectPeer
method. Now we instead first check if we are already connected, and
return early.
In this commit, we refactor the existing connection logic outside of the
ChanController's OpenChannel method. We do this as previously it was
possible for peers to stall us while attempting to connect to them. In
order to remedy this, we now attempt to connect the peer before tracking
them in our set of pending opens.
In this commit, we go through the codebase looking for TCP address
assumptions and modifying them to include the recently introduced onion
addresses. This enables us to fully support onion addresses within the
daemon.
In this commit, we add two new configuration parameters to allow users
to specify the min and max size that the autopilot agent will create.
This is useful as now users can set the values to more or less the same
size, which will allow them to control the size of each created
channel.
Before this commit, if this wasn’t set, then the agent would try to
shove as much money into a channel up until the max chan size. This was
nice on testnet, but on main net, users will likely not want all their
funds to be in a single channel, and instead be distributed across many
channels. With things like AMP, have more channels becomes more
desirable.
In this commit, we fix a quick in the main autopilot handling. If we’re
unable to establish a channel to a peer for w/e reason, then we’ll
disconnect the peer. With this tactic, we avoid unnecessarily building
up tens of peers for no reason at all.
In this commit, we update lnd to now access the deterministic
keychain.KeyRing struct in order to obtain our identity public key.
With this change, if the user recovers their wallet with the same seed,
then they’ll have access to the same prior node identity. This change
also makes it easy for us to support node key rotation in the future by
bumping up our requested index.
In this commit we fix a newly introduce bug wherein we would close the
transaction subscription twice on shutdown. This would lead to a
shutdown, but an unclean one as it would panic due to closing a channel
twice.
We fix this my removing a defer statement such that, we’ll only cancel
the subscription once.
This commit adds the +build !rpctest build flag to the test files in
the main package other than the RPC tests. With this, if the protest
build flag is set, then ONLY those tests will be run.
This commit adds a new file to the repo: pilot.go. This files contains
the items necessary to configure, and initialize an instance of
autopilot.Agent with the passed configuration struct.
