's user has the option of funding a private channel with fundchannel
's announce=false
flag.
The user, such as myself, executes fundchannel
and, provided that the fee was sufficient,
soon has a channel at their disposal. How does the process look on the other side?
- Is the request
to open a private channel logged in
.lightning/bitcoin/log
of the other party? If so what level of logging is required? Would anybody be kind enough to paste an example from their.lightning/bitcoin/log
? - Is
fundchannel_complete
oropen_channel
used to complete the creation of the channel in the case that the other party agrees on creating a private channel. - Can monitoring the content of
.lightning/bitcoin/log
be the basis of Bitcoin's censorship through the attempt to limit private channel creation to only whitelisted parties or to only those that are not blacklisted. Let's say that a law is passed that says that the operators of routing nodes have a legal obligation to store their logs and provide law enforcement with access to such logs. Opening private channels to the sanctioned entities or the non-whitelisted entities is punished. The aim of such a law would be to restrict the usage of c-lightning to custodial wallets. - Do top-capacity routing nodes automate the process of agreeing on the channel opening to them? If so what are the most commonly used solutions/scripts/plugins for this purpose?
open_channel
. Yet, I would gladly receive the answer about the details that I ask for in the points 1, 2, and 4 of my question.
