allow creating offers with blinded paths when you have public channels

Opened this issue · 0 comments

https://blog.blockstream.com/core-lightning-v24-08-steel-backed-up-channels/ says "The offers plugin now automatically adds a blinded path from a peer when there are no public channels available, enabling unannounced nodes to generate and manage offers securely without exposing their channels publicly."

Not sure why you don't have an option to create blinded paths if you do have public channels?

Either way, there is no logging (either in the log file (I have log-level=debug:plugin-offers set by the way) or in response to lightning-cli offer or lightning-cli listoffers) indicating that a blinded path is used or not used, and I think that should definitely be done. Currently I have to use lightning-cli decode lno1xxxxxx in order to check. Lots of people think BOLT12 offers are private and use blinded paths, but it seems very easy to not do so in CLN with the current behavior.
