- Coin Selection is the procedure that selects UTXOs (“coins”) from the wallet
Questions
- What in your own words would you expect that a
fundmax
flag should do in the call to OpenChannel? - Why seems adding a
fundmax
flag to the OpenChannel command a bit more complex compared to e.g. thesweepall
flag of the SendCoins command? - Can you identify independent code changes to LND that required additional attention in this PR (list some of the requirements that has to be correctly handled)?
- What is a concurrency issue that all funding logic must consider? How is that generally handled in the LND codebase?
- What checks are in place to prevent incorrect funding of a channel (can be already existing ones or checks introduced with this PR)?
- How is PR#4588 related to this PR?
