Allow 0-conf splices #7002
Description
In the current splicing flow, there is no way to set the minimum required chain confirmations. It would be useful to be able to set the minimum amount of chain confirmations to 0 in the context of an LSP that operates with 0-conf channels.
- be able to set the minimum required confirmations to 0 (
mindepth), like in fundchannel - if
mindepthis zero, immediately send splice_locked, without waiting for confirmations - Do not RBF the channel when
mindepthis 0, since that would invalidate the funding transaction
Typical splicing flow (see comment at splice_init):
RESULT=$(lightning-cli listpeerchannels);
CHANNEL_ID=$(echo $RESULT| jq -r ".channels[0].channel_id");
echo $RESULT;
RESULT=$(lightning-cli fundpsbt -k satoshi=100000sat feerate=urgent startweight=800 excess_as_change=true);
INITIALPSBT=$(echo $RESULT | jq -r ".psbt");
echo $RESULT;
# This could use a mindepth parameter, like fundchannel.
RESULT=$(lightning-cli splice_init $CHANNEL_ID 100000 $INITIALPSBT);
PSBT=$(echo $RESULT | jq -r ".psbt");
echo $RESULT;
RESULT=$(lightning-cli splice_update $CHANNEL_ID $PSBT);
PSBT=$(echo $RESULT | jq -r ".psbt");
echo $RESULT;
RESULT=$(lightning-cli signpsbt -k psbt="$PSBT");
PSBT=$(echo $RESULT | jq -r ".signed_psbt");
echo $RESULT;
lightning-cli splice_signed $CHANNEL_ID $PSBT
