Enhancement: Add ability to receive via private channel
Closed this issue · 3 comments
User request:
Hey guys. I have a single private channel opened with my other node and can send fine, but in order to receive I need to include routing hints as part of the invoice. Is it possible to add the feature similar to how RTL and Zeus have?
From CLN docs, there is a exposeprivatechannels flag that we could have a toggle for:
If specified, exposeprivatechannels overrides the default route hint
logic, which will use unpublished channels only if there are no
published channels. If true unpublished channels are always considered
as a route hint candidate; if false, never. If it is a short channel id
(e.g. 1x1x3) or array of short channel ids (or a remote alias), only those specific channels
will be considered candidates, even if they are public or dead-ends.
ill take a look at this one
@aaronbarnardsound Perhaps we only show the Expose private channels toggle if there are private channels in their active channels list?
We could do that, but it would require a larger change since we do not store that state in the db currently. I would recommend always having the toggle there for now and default to off.
