Bidirectional Channels

[heikoheiko]

For some applications bidirectional channels could be useful.

Bidirectional channels are composed of two simple channels. But the logic during settlement and validating payment capacity is changed such that the spendable amount is deposit-balance of the sender->receiver channel plus the balance of the receiver->sender channel.

This might require, that we allow to create the second channel using the same opening_block.

We'd really like to see this implemented, but I can see this issue is quite old. Is it going to happen?

@aktary , it is not in our short-term future plans. It also depends on the project's adoption. If it will be a requested feature, we will consider it.

Consider it requested! :)
