In this commit, we add two new cli commands: exportchanbackup and
restorechanbackup. These two commands allow users to export backups
(single or multi) for one or all channels, and also restore these
backups (single or multi) from a file to attempt to recover the
channels.
Additionally, we extend the `lncli create` call to also accept these
backups so users can have a single command to restore both their
on-chain and off-chain funds.
Increases the default window from 250 to 2.5k. Many
users have reported attempting recovery with the
default value only to find an empty wallet. This
change should help ensure that the first recovery
attempt succeeds for the majority of nodes that
have modest load. It might prudent to consider
increasing this value further in the future if
the issue persists or average node age increases.
In this commit, we add a new flag to the sendcoins command that allows
callers to sweep all funds out of the daemon's wallet. This CANNOT be
set at the same time that an amount is specified.
Returns a brief json summary of each utxo found by calling
ListUnspentWitness in the wallet. The two arguments are the
minimum and maximum number of conrfirmations (0=include
unconfirmed)
Move num_inactive_channels closer to num_active_channel,
best_header_timestamp closer to block_hash/block_height and version as
first item in the list.
Private and public channels which weren't announced yet are returned only
if the flag is set.
Note: this changes the default output of describegraph which used to
return all channels known to node.
Using AbandonChannel, a channel can be abandoned. This means
removing all state without any on-chain or off-chain action.
A close summary is the only thing that is stored in the db after
abandoning.
A specific close type Abandoned is added. Abandoned channels
can be retrieved via the ClosedChannels RPC.
- Extend SendRequest and QueryRoutesRequest protos
- newRoute function takes fee limit and cuts off routes that exceed it
- queryRoutes, payInvoice and sendPayment commands take the feeLimit inputs and pass them down to newRoute
- When no feeLimit is included, don't enforce any feeLimits at all (by setting feeLimit to maxValue)
In this commit we modify the existing sendtoroutes command such that
users can either specify the route over stdin (using the special '-'
flag), via the keyword argument, or via the positional argument.
In this commit, we add a new closeallchannels command to lncli. This
command allows us to close all existing active and inactive channels
by closing them cooperatively or unilaterally, respectively.
In this commit, we extend the `lncli create` command to allow users to
specify their own side (if they want). In the case that the user
*doesn’t* specify their own seed, we’ll return the entropy generated by
the wallet in a 24-word mnemonic format for easy backup.
With this change, it’s now possible for users to restore an existing lnd
wallet seed.
Since a ChannelPoint's funding txid can now be get/set as raw bytes or
a string, we first need to check what type it's currently set to before
accessing it.
In this commit we rename the lnrpc.PendingChannelRequest and
lnrpc.PendingChannelResponse to
lnrpc.PendingChannelsRequest/lnrpc.PendingChannelsResponse. We do this
as we strive to ensure that the naming scheme across the RPC interface
is consistent.
In this commit, we expose the new fee control features to the relevant
commands on the command line. This will allow users to have a greater
degree of control of the fees they pay when: sending coins on chain,
opening a channel, or closing a channel.
This commit adds a decorator that will inspect the
error from an command action, and prints an encrypted
wallet help text if the error has status code Unimplemented.
This is done to help a user that is trying to issue
lncli commands before unlocking the wallet, since
the RPC server won't be active and every call will
return this status code.
lncli create:
This command is used to set up a wallet encryption password for
use with lnd at first time use. It will ask fot the user to
confirm the chosen password, then do a call to the lnd RPC method
CreateWallet with the chosen password.
lncli unlock:
This command is used to unlock the wallet of a running lnd instance.
It calls the RPC method UnlockWallet with the provided password.
Both methods makes use of the terminal.ReadPassword method, to
securely read a password from user input without making it
replayable in the terminal.
In this commit, we extend the help message for `newaddress`
to indicate which address types can be used when directly
funding channels. Additionally, we add some additional text
to the insufficient funding error to detail that we don't have
enough witness outputs.
