In this commit we add a new case to the main select statement within a
channel link. This select statement will serve as a Sipping Bird which
will check the network fee rate (as returned by the fee estimator) and
compare that to the fee on the commitment transaction. Using the
shouldAdjustCommitFee function, we determine if we should update the
commitment fee. If so, then we’ll send an UpdateFee message and also
trigger a new commitment update.
We also add a new unit test: TestChannelLinkUpdateCommitFee to ensure
that we update the fee accordingly if the fee increases or decreases by
a large portion.
In this commit, we add a new helper function to the link which will be
utilized in a later commit. This helper function will help us determine
if we should update the commitment fee, in response to a change in the
network fee return by our fee estimators.
In this commit we update our glide file to point to the new version of
my fork of btcd with the fee estimator RPC merged in, and also the
version of btcwallet that allows callers to manually specify a value
for the fee rate of a given transaction.
In this commit, we add a new ResetState method to the channel state
machine which will reset the state of the channel to `channelOpen`. We
add this as before this commit, it was possible for a channel to shift
into the closing state, the closing negotiation be cancelled for
whatever reason, resulting the the channel held by the breachArbiter
unable to act to potential on-chain events.
With the new negotiation policy, we instead just need to ensure that
our fee inches closer to the other party’s with each iteration, and
that it’s within the proper bounds.
In this commit, we expose the new fee control features to the relevant
commands on the command line. This will allow users to have a greater
degree of control of the fees they pay when: sending coins on chain,
opening a channel, or closing a channel.
In this commit, we refactor the existing channel closure logic for
co-op closes to use the new channelCloser state machine. This results
in a large degree of deleted code as all the logic is now centralized
to a single state machine.
In this commit, the relevant RPC’s have been modified to properly
parse, and pass through the new fee control related parameters for each
of the RPC’s.
In this commit, we add a new state machine to the project in order to
simplify and encapsulate the logic of negotiating the fees of the
closing transaction during the cooperative channel closure procedure.
This new implementation fixes several defects in the prior version of
the fee negotiation protocol as previously implemented within the peer.
Namely, we’ll now ensure that we converge to an acceptable fee
eventually, and clamp down the fee in the case that the starting fee is
greater than the fee of the commitment transaction.
The new fee negotiation also is very simple and should serve as a good
base for future improvements. After proposing our initial fee, if the
fee proposed by the remote party isn’t within 30% of our last fee, then
we increase/decrease our fee by 10%. This process continues until
either they send the same fee as we sent in a prior round, or they send
the identical fee that we sent in the last round.
In this commit, we fix an existing bug that had ramifications within
the operation of the lnd daemon. Before this commit, if the Stop()
method was called, then the closeObserver would exit as well. This
means that would no longer be watching for channel breaches on-chain,
and could miss either a cooperative channel closure or an actual
contract breach.
To fix this, we now introduce a new method to stop for closeObserver:
CancelObserver(). This should ONLY be called once either: the contract
has been fully settled on-chain, or whom ever is watching the relevant
signals has a newer version of the channel that it will watch instead.
In this commit, we modify CreateCloseProposal to no longer return the
same fee passed in. In the past, this method accepted a fee rat rather
than an absolute fee, and would return the computed absolute fee. Now
that the method takes the absolute fee directly, this is unnecessary.
In this commit, we modify the funding reservation workflow slightly to
allow callers to specify their own custom fee when initialization a
funding workflow. This gives power-users the ability to control exactly
how much in fees are paid for each new funding transaction.
In this commit, we extend the existing SendOutputs method on the
WalletController interface to be able to accept a custom fee. With
this, users are now able to specify their exact fee, allowing the
wallet to be fee estimation agnostic.
In this commit, we add a new implementation of the FeeEstimator
interface: the BtcdFeeEstimator. This implementation of the
FeeEstimator is backed by an active bcd instance. Any requests to query
for the current fee for a given confirmation target are proxied to this
active bcd instance.
In this commit, we extend the FeeEstimator methods to allow them to
return an error. This is required as most implementations aside from
the static fee estimator will want to be able to return errors to users
to indicate the inability to properly estimate fees.
In this commit, we modify the OpenChannel, CloseChannel, SendCoins, and
SendMany RPC’s to be able to allow users to manually specify their
fees. Users can either specify a target number of confirmations, or a
target value for manual sat/byte.
In this commit, we move the FeeEstimator interface into a distinct file
as follow up commits will begin to flesh out the interface with
additional implementations.
For a calls to ListChannels we now only set the
ActiveChannel.Active=true if the link is found by the
htlcswitch. This is done to be able to make it possible
to tell if a newly opened channel has been added to
the htlcswitch, such that we can synchronize on this
during tests before we attempt to close the channel.
Fix wrong calculation of overshot amount which causes coin select
function to go into infinite loop. If overshoot amount is calculated
by subtraction of totalSatoshis and amtNeeded than on the second
iteration of loop amtNeeded already include required fee inside, which
causes continuation of the coin selection loop.
In this commit, we add fully verification (other than checking the
commitment point matches after the fact) of the new optional fields
added to the lnwire.ChannelReestablish message. Two scenarios can
arise: we realize the remote party is on a prior state (and possibly
lost data), or we realize that *we* are on a prior state with the
remote party verifiably proving that they’re on a newer state.
