[Idea] Show other nodes

Open rkfg opened this issue 2 years ago • 0 comments

Kinda insane idea but why not. lnd has a so called Mission Control which is a database of failed and succeeded forwards for other channels in the network. It can be populated during rebalancing since it's a long process of probing multiple routes. lntop can use this data to show estimated channel balances of other nodes. Failed amount indicates there's less than that sats on the "from" side, successful — more than that (the estimation could be like 1.5x of the successful amount). Unknown channels can be shown at 50%.

I don't think this mode would be much useful, it's kind of a gimmick. Still, if you rebalance channels you should have this information and being able to visualize it is kinda cool, especially if you're interested in smaller nodes that can be probed quickly.
