Suggestion: route hints

Open kiwiidb opened this issue 2 years ago • 4 comments

It would be useful to add route hints for keysend payments in a TLV record. That way podcast wallet providers could implement a more flexible setup (high availability / self-custodial).

That is a very interesting idea.

Just not sure this is the place for it? Maybe ask in LL slack? BOLT-repo? LL/LND-repo? :)

The only other suitable place I can think of is BLIP 3. But you're the one hosting the "TLV registry" here, so I thought this might also be a suited place. Just need to write out some spec, we can implement it at Alby and then some podcast client should implement it.

Yeah I see why you ended up here :). I think the BLIP "registry" is now the best one. https://github.com/lightning/blips/blob/master/blip-0010.md maybe?
