UNUSUAL plugin-offers: No incoming channel to public peer, so no blinded path

Closed this issue 3 months ago · 5 comments

Running
lightning-cli offer -k "amount"="any" "description"="test5" "label"="testing blinded paths"
results in
UNUSUAL plugin-offers: No incoming channel to public peer, so no blinded path
in my log file.
However, I have an open channel.
Also, what is the definition of public peer?

Also, decoding the offer results in showing my nodeid, not a blinded path.

Also, not sure if this is related, but with lightning-cli invoice -k "amount_msat"=100000 "label"="test7" "description"="test" getting "warning_deadends": "Insufficient incoming capacity, once dead-end peers were excluded". However, I am able to receive payments no problem.

This problem seemed to "fix" itself after about 15 hours. So, possibly the node was still just learning about the topology of the network? However, #7713 and #7714 seem to still be pretty big issues.
