We need to know both, because in theory we could negotiate a non-anchor channel even if they support it. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

lightning-fundchannel\_start -- Command for initiating channel establishment for a lightning channel
|
|
====================================================================================================
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
**fundchannel\_start** *id* *amount* [*feerate* *announce* *close\_to* *push\_msat*]
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
`fundchannel_start` is a lower level RPC command. It allows a user to
|
|
initiate channel establishment with a connected peer.
|
|
|
|
*id* is the node id of the remote peer.
|
|
|
|
*amount* is the satoshi value that the channel will be funded at. This
|
|
value MUST be accurate, otherwise the negotiated commitment transactions
|
|
will not encompass the correct channel value.
|
|
|
|
*feerate* is an optional field. Sets the feerate for subsequent
|
|
commitment transactions: see **fundchannel**. Note that this is ignored
|
|
for channels with *option\_anchors\_zero\_fee\_htlc\_tx* (we always use a low
|
|
commitment fee for these).
|
|
|
|
*announce* whether or not to announce this channel.
|
|
|
|
*close\_to* is a Bitcoin address to which the channel funds should be sent to
|
|
on close. Only valid if both peers have negotiated `option_upfront_shutdown_script`.
|
|
Returns `close_to` set to closing script iff is negotiated.
|
|
|
|
*push\_msat* is the amount of millisatoshis to push to the channel peer at
|
|
open. Note that this is a gift to the peer -- these satoshis are
|
|
added to the initial balance of the peer at channel start and are largely
|
|
unrecoverable once pushed.
|
|
|
|
Note that the funding transaction MUST NOT be broadcast until after
|
|
channel establishment has been successfully completed by running
|
|
`fundchannel_complete`, as the commitment transactions for this channel
|
|
are not secured until the complete command succeeds. Broadcasting
|
|
transaction before that can lead to unrecoverable loss of funds.
|
|
|
|
RETURN VALUE

|
|
On success, an object is returned, containing:
|
|
|
|
- **funding\_address** (string): The address to send funding to for the channel. DO NOT SEND COINS TO THIS ADDRESS YET.
|
|
- **scriptpubkey** (hex): The raw scriptPubkey for the address
|
|
- **close\_to** (hex, optional): The raw scriptPubkey which mutual close will go to; only present if *close\_to* parameter was specified and peer supports `option_upfront_shutdown_script`
|
|
- **mindepth** (u32, optional): Number of confirmations before we consider the channel active.
|
|
|
|
The following warnings may also be returned:
|
|
|
|
- **warning\_usage**: A warning not to prematurely broadcast the funding transaction (always present!)
|

|
|
On error the returned object will contain `code` and `message` properties,
|
|
with `code` being one of the following:
|
|
|
|
- -32602: If the given parameters are wrong.
|
|
- -1: Catchall nonspecific error.
|
|
- 300: The amount exceeded the maximum configured funding amount.
|
|
- 301: The provided `push_msat` is greater than the provided `amount`.
|
|
- 304: Still syncing with bitcoin network
|
|
- 305: Peer is not connected.
|
|
- 306: Unknown peer id.
