blip-0033: commit fees channel flag

Open t-bast opened this issue 1 year ago • 13 comments

Standard lightning channels require the channel opener to pay the mining fees for the commitment transaction and mutual close transaction. This requirement forces the channel opener to contribute to the funding transaction and makes it impossible to open channels by only purchasing inbound liquidity from a remote node.

We want to allow nodes to opt into paying the commitment transaction fees even though they're not the channel opener.
