This commit modifies the prior protos to make the open/close channel
RPC commands return the “union” status update rather than a concrete
item of that union directly. With this change, RPC clients can now
receive status updates of the current state of the opening or closing
channel.
This commit integrates BitFury's current routing functionality into lnd. The
primary ochestration point for the routing sub-system in the routingMgr. The
routingMgr manages all persistent and volatile state related to routing within
the network.
Newly opened channels, either when the initiator or responder are inserted into
the routing table once the channel is fully open. Once new links are inserted
the routingMgr can then perform path selection in order to locate an "optimal"
path to a target destination.
This commit adds a new RPC to the RPC server: “sendcoins”. This RPC is
identical to “sendmany” with one small change: the level of send
parallelization is 1. This is useful when one wishes to simply send
coins to a friend and/or a payment.
This commit adds the necessary plumbing within the server, peer, and
rpcServer to handle opening and cooperatively closing a channel with a
remote peer.
Many new data structures have been added to the peer in order to allow
it to efficiently manage opening+.losing new/existing lightning
channels. Additional documentation has been added to several methods
within the peer struct, with some minor renaming along with way. The
peer has also gained a dedicated goroutine whose job it is to manage
any requests pertaining to opening, or closing any channels with the
remote peer.
The messages have been added to lnrpc define the requests and responses
to channel open+close messages. Additional channel logic has been added
between the rpcServer, peer, and server in order to properly manage the
necessary synchronization.
The new available address types are: regular p2pkh, p2wkh, and finally
p2wkh nested within p2sh. The latter address type will initially be
used to allow users to “fund” the lnd wallet.
