SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**fundchannel\_start** *id* *satoshi* \[*feerate* *announce*\]

DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`fundchannel_start` is a lower level RPC command. It allows a user to
|
|
|
|
|
initiate channel establishment with a connected peer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*id* is the node id of the remote peer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*satoshi* is the satoshi value that the channel will be funded at. This
|
|
|
|
|
value MUST be accurate, otherwise the negotiated commitment transactions
|
|
|
|
|
will not encompass the correct channel value.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*feerate* is an optional field. Sets the feerate for subsequent
|
|
|
|
|
commitment transactions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*announce* whether or not to announce this channel.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that the funding transaction MUST NOT be broadcast until after
|
|
|
|
|
channel establishment has been successfully completed by running
|
|
|
|
|
`fundchannel_complete`, as the commitment transactions for this channel
|
|
|
|
|
are not secured until the complete command succeeds. Broadcasting
|
|
|
|
|
transaction before that can lead to unrecoverable loss of funds.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
RETURN VALUE
|
|
|
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On success, returns the *funding\_address* for the channel.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On failure, returns an error.
