Vincenzo Palazzo, LSPs & renepay plugin

#13・September 08, 2023

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 Bühler 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: 

$ lightning-cli renepay <bolt11>

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, Tony Aldon https://lnroom.live
