Ready for at least a high-level conceptual review.

For now, the sample is mostly a code skeleton with some commands functional (connect/open/...). Don't intend to use it beyond your local regtest.

Fixes two issues:
* Explicitly specify radix for header bits field parsing and
* Handle confirmations being negative (ie reorg'ed out)
This is a meaningful rewrite of the previous sample rust-lightning
based node. Mainly, it switches the code architecture to a new
threading model, where each major LN components gets its own and
communicate with others through dedidcated channels. It also splits
the command line in its own binary, move logging in its own file,
and vets the whole with a configuration file.
Documentation is work in progress and aims to expose Rust-Lightning
architecture usage.
This is still experimental software and shouldn't be used beyond
a local regtest. You still have wide holes which would provoke
certain loss of funds.

Note that a big part of the motivation for this in Core is that its written in a memory-unsafe language. Without unsafe code, there's little reason to do this (absent compiler and other similar bugs). Cross-host, not just cross-process, stuff is cooler, though.

Come on, playing with the security capabilities or privileges framework of your system is cool too. Or even control groups for intensive process like routing or throwing a load balancer between p2p stack and channel processing. For high-availability, high-security node, multi-process is way better :p

Why? Can't we just use the ChannelManager's serialized version?

Note that a big part of the motivation for this in Core is that its written in a memory-unsafe language. Without unsafe code, there's little reason to do this (absent compiler and other similar bugs). Cross-host, not just cross-process, stuff is cooler, though.

Come on, playing with the security capabilities or privileges framework of your system is cool too. Or even control groups for intensive process like routing or throwing a load balancer between p2p stack and channel processing. For high-availability, high-security node, multi-process is way better :p

Lol, I mean I guess if you want capabilities enforcement that's cool. I still prefer multi-host, but whatever :)

Ready for at least a high-level conceptual review.

For now, the sample is mostly a code skeleton with some commands functional (connect/open/...). Don't intend to use it beyond your local regtest.

TheBlueMattand others added 25 commits February 15, 2020 20:01
Fixes two issues:
* Explicitly specify radix for header bits field parsing and
* Handle confirmations being negative (ie reorg'ed out)
This is a meaningful rewrite of the previous sample rust-lightning
based node. Mainly, it switches the code architecture to a new
threading model, where each major LN components gets its own and
communicate with others through dedidcated channels. It also splits
the command line in its own binary, move logging in its own file,
and vets the whole with a configuration file.
Documentation is work in progress and aims to expose Rust-Lightning
architecture usage.
This is still experimental software and shouldn't be used beyond
a local regtest. You still have wide holes which would provoke
certain loss of funds.
