Unify the earn rates throughout the application

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Currently the rates on pool are described in 3 different denominations:

• % APY
• Interest rate in bps
• Bid/Ask premium in sats

If I see a channel on the Sell Order Board on Pool Lite, I know what APY I need to match in order to fit that order. However, I cannot go to pool and select that APY. Instead, I need to fiddle with the Ask premium in sats until It matches the APY (or I need to calculate it manually).

Describe the solution you'd like Make all earn rates denominated in either % APY, or bps or sats. But not a mix of all 3.

Describe alternatives you've considered Allow users to enter either % APY, or bps, or sats when creating a Bid/Ask order. Currently it is only allowing the enter the total premium in sats.

Is this related to the Pool UI on the lightning terminal user interface? Or the actual Pool command line? If you mean the UI then this issue also needs to be transferred to https://github.com/lightninglabs/lightning-terminal.

Thanks for pointing that out. I was referring to the pool UI on lightning terminal. The issue does also exist on the pool cli though. I can only set --interest_rate_percent there but not % APY, nor the total premium in sats. This makes it even worse, since the CLI and the GUI offer different input variables when creating an offer.

We have fixes coming soon to unify all of the different options APY/Sats Per Day, so that it's easier to follow and match against orders. Thanks for flagging this though as we'll up the prio on it!
