BOLT: Basis of Lightning Technology (Lightning Network Specifications)
4af8e18411
At cost of a few extra bytes between peers, this avoids the whole "oops, we were on a chain fork" problem, and simplifies generation of temporary channel-ids (just pick a random one). Now we move the announcement_signature exchange to at least 6 confirms, which makes re-xmit tricky; I resolved that by insisting on reconnect that we send if we haven't received, and reply to the first one. The term "channel shortid" wasn't used anywhere, so I removed it; it's now a gossip-only thing anyway. One subtle change: pkt_error on unknown channels is now "MUST ignore"; this section was reworked anyway, and we'll want this if the #120 goes through, where one side might have forgotten unformed channels). Closes: #114 Suggested-by: Olaoluwa Osuntokun <laolu32@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> * FIXUP! Two bytes for funding-output-index. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> * FIXUP! Channel-id rework, temp ids, 32 bits only. Re-add the idea of temporary channel ids: far simpler since they're now big enough we can just fill with noise. Remove the alignment issues by combining txid and outnum using XOR; we could reduce to 128 bit if we really wanted to, but we don't. Error handling is now simple again, but while editing I changed the behaviour for unknown channels to MUST ignore (this is important for Change the 8-byte gossip channel id to `short-channel-id`.
