This commit adds synchronous version of the RPC’s to send payments over
channels and open new channels. The previous async versions of these
RPC calls have been removed from the REST interface.
Additionally for these two RPC calls any field which accepted byte
slices now also accept a variant of the field which is a hex-encoded
string.
The OpenChannelSync RPC is intended to be used along with either the
ListChannels or PendingChannels RPC to poll for a channels existence or
non-existence as a signal that the channel is finally open.
This commit modifies a few of the RPC call which previously took a
lightning_id as their paramter to instead take a compressed public key
field. With this change must of the code within the daemon can be
simplified as we only use public keys everywhere throuhgout the daemon.

This commit adds a REST interface to the existing gRPC server by
employing a simple http proxy auto-generated from the existing protobuf
files. Currently full-support for any streaming RPC’s are currently
untested. In addition to auto-generating a REST proxy server, a
swagger.json is also generated which allows for gRPC-like native
objects with higher-level clients, and also for auto-generated
documentation.
Due to limitations with accepting raw byte strings as parameters, some
RPC’s have been modified to take both raw-bytes and string arguments.
Additionally a new RPC has been added ‘NewWitnessAddress’ since the
proxy doesn’t currently support enum-based arguments.
Currently the proxy server is embedded within the daemon as an active
HTTP server, however we may want to package the proxy server as a
separate binary in the future. Similarly, we may want to add additional
configuration information which controls the optional inclusion of the
REST proxy.
Atm, just like the current gRPC interface, the REST API is fully
unauthenticated. Before moving to an initial alpha release after making
the necessary changes to meet the spec drafted in Milan, authentication
of the RPC interfaces will be addressed.
This commit extracts the channel information that was previously
returned within the ListPeers command to a new RPC command:
ListChannels. Additionally, any pending HTLC’s within the open channel
are also displayed.
This commit adds a new RPC command: `channelbalance` which returns the
sum of all available channel capacity across all open channels. The
total balance is currently returned in units of `satoshis`. Additionally
the `networkHarness` has been modified slightly to allow specifying the
additional "extra" command line parameters when creating the initial
seed nodes. Minor refactoring within the integration tests has been
undertaken in order to increase code re-use across tests.
Closes#29.
LIGHT-131, LIGHT-140, LIGHT-138
`lncli showroutingtable` may output routing table as image.
Use graphviz for graph rendering.
Add explicit version dependency for tools. Add error checking.
LIGHT-133, LIGHT-138 Make output of `lncli showrouting table` in
two different formats: table and json.
Instead of sending serialized routing table send list of channels.
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.
