SYNOPSIS

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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*amount* 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: see **fundchannel**.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*announce* whether or not to announce this channel.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*close_to* is a Bitcoin address to which the channel funds should be sent to
|
|
|
|
|
on close. Only valid if both peers have negotiated `option_upfront_shutdown_script`.
|
|
|
|
|
Returns `close_to` set to closing script iff is negotiated.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*push_msat* is the amount of millisatoshis to push to the channel peer at
|
|
|
|
|
open. Note that this is a gift to the peer -- these satoshis are
|
|
|
|
|
added to the initial balance of the peer at channel start and are largely
|
|
|
|
|
unrecoverable once pushed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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* and the *scriptpubkey* for the channel funding output.
|
|
|
|
|
If a `close_to` address was provided, will close to this address iff the `close_to` address is
|
|
|
|
|
returned in the response. Otherwise, the peer does not support `option_upfront_shutdownscript`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On error the returned object will contain `code` and `message` properties,
|
|
|
|
|
with `code` being one of the following:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- -32602: If the given parameters are wrong.
|
|
|
|
|
- -1: Catchall nonspecific error.
|
|
|
|
|
- 300: The amount exceeded the maximum configured funding amount.
|
|
|
|
|
- 301: The provided `push_msat` is greater than the provided `amount`.
|
|
|
|
|
- 304: Still syncing with bitcoin network
|
|
|
|
|
- 305: Peer is not connected.
|
|
|
|
|
- 306: Unknown peer id.
