This field is incorrectly suffixed as "msat", when it is actually
interpreted as the proportional fee rate. This is the value that we
should be using because the sender will calculate proportional fees
accordingly. This is a breaking change to the RPC, but on an
experimental and unreleased API.
In this commit the mission control based fee estimation
is supplemented with a payment probe estimation which can
lead to more accurate estimation results. The probing
utilizes a hop-hint heurisic to detect routes through LSPs
in order to manually estimate fees to destinations behind
an LSP that would otherwise block the payment probe.
The final hop size is calculated differently therefore we extract
the logic in its own function and also account for the case where
the final hop might be a blinded hop.
In the previous commit the AdditionalEdge interface was introduced
with both of its implementations `BlindedEdge` and `PrivateEdge`.
In both cases where we append a route either by a blinded route
section or private route hints we now use these new types. In
addition the `PayloadSizeFunc` type is introduced in the
`unifiedEdge` struct. This is necessary to have the payload size
function at hand when searching for a route hence not overshooting
the max sphinx package size of 1300 bytes.
This PR addresses the following:
- Install and Configure protolint to enforce the protobuf style guide rules in the CI.
- Fix the protolinting issues (package and import ordering) while maintaining the comaptibility.
Add the option to include a blinded route in a route request (exclusive
to including hop hints, because it's incongruous to include both), and
express the route as a chain of hop hints.
Using a chain of hints over a single hint to represent the whole path
allows us to re-use our route construction to fill in a lot of the
path on our behalf.
This commit introduces a single struct to hold all of the parameters
that are passed to FindRoute. This cleans up an already overloaded
function signature and prepares us for handling requests with blinded
routes where we need to perform some additional processing on our
para (such as extracting the target node from the blinded path).
This commit adds a new payment status, `StatusInitiated`, to properly
represent the state where a payment is newly created without attempting
any HTLCs. Since the `PaymentStatus` is a memory representation of a
given payment's status, the enum used for the statuses are directly
updated.
This commit changes `fetchPaymentStatus` to return an error when the
payment creation info bucket cannot be found. Instead of using the
ambiguous status `StatusUnknown`, we tell the callsite explictly that
there's no such payment. This also means the vague `StatusUnknown` can
now be removed as it has multiple meanings.
The docker image have been updated so we are using another protobuf
version to generate the files. The generate files include the version of
the compiler used to creating them, so we need this commit to pass the
`rpc-check` step in our CI.
In this commit, we update the Sig type to support ECDSA and schnorr
signatures. We need to do this as the HTLC signatures will become
schnorr sigs for taproot channels. The current spec draft opts to
overload this field since both the sigs are actually 64 bytes in length.
The only consideration with this move is that callers need to "coerce" a
sig to the proper type if they need schnorr signatures.
We make the capacity factor configurable via an lnd.conf routerrpc
apriori parameter. The capacity factor trades off increased success
probability with a reduced set of channel candidates, which may lead to
increased fees. To let users choose whether the factor is active or not,
we add a config setting where a capacity fraction of 1.0 disables the
factor. We limit the capacity fraction to values between 0.75 and 1.0.
Lower values may discard too many channels.
The active probability estimator can be switched dynamically using the
`Set/GetMissionControl` API, maintaining backward compatibility. The
lncli commands `setmccfg` and `getmccfg` are updated around this
functionality. Note that deprecated configuration parameters were
removed from the commands.
We use a more general `Estimator` interface for probability estimation
in missioncontrol.
The estimator is created outside of `NewMissionControl`, passed in as a
`MissionControlConfig` field, to facilitate usage of externally supplied
estimators.
The grpc stream.Recv() will decode an ForwardHtlcInterceptResponse
without an IncomingCircuit, which will leave that pointer nil,
causing a nil pointer dereferece when components of in.IncomingCircuitKey
are used in the resolveFromClient() function.
This commit checks for the nil pointer and returns an error before
the rest of the parsing.
