LN #13 - Vincenzo Palazzo, LSPs & renepay plugin
The last live coding session we did on https://community.corelightning.org is my favorite so far.
We had Vincenzo Palazzo CLN Core contributor with us to discuss the following hot features available in the new CLN v23.08 release:
- setconfig
- listconfigs
- experimental feature at runtime-enabled
- experimental-splicing
- taproot addresses / p2tr
- renepay plugin
- self-payment with the pay command
If you have a moment check it at Core Lightning release v23.08 live exploration.
In the next live coding session we'll talk about the builtin plugin clnrest. You're obviously invited ;)
If you are interested in LSPs you'll find Making LSP interoperable talk by Severin Alex BĂ¼hler presented at Riga 2023 really interesting.
As we're talking about LSPs you might want to watch Lightning Infrastructure Panel round table with Nick Slaney (C Equals Lead at TBD) , Roy Sheinfeld (CEO & Co-Founder, Breez), Graham Krizek (CEO & Founder, Voltage ) and Ryan Gentry (Director of Business Development, Lightning Labs) at Microstrategy World conference.
The renepay plugin released in CLN v23.08 implements "Optimally Reliable & Cheap Payment Flows on the Lightning Network" paper from Rene Pickhardt and Stefan Richter.
It can be used to send payments like this:
As I wanted to know more about its algorithm I looked for videos (I love videos) and I found the talk Optimally Reliable & Cheap Payment Flows on the Lightning Network by Stefan Richter itself.
Have a nice day, see you next time.
