In this commit, we implement a long discussed mechanism to use the Lightning Network as a redundant block header source. By sending our latest block header with each ping message, we give peers another source (outside of the Bitcoin P2P network) they can use to spot check their chain state. Peers can also use this information to detect if they've been eclipsed from the traditional Bitcoin P2P network itself. As is, we only send this data in Ping messages (which are periodically sent), in the future we could also move to send them as the partial payload for our pong messages, and also randomize the payload size requested as well. |
