Cannot announce large channels - **BROKEN** gossipd: peer xxx invalid local_channel_announcement

[mb300sd]

I found 2 peers to open large channels with, but cannot seem to get the channels announced.

OK, so your peer is 0254ff808f53b2f8c45e74b70430f336c6c76ba2f4af289f48d6086ae6e60462d3, and we consider it to be a bad channel_announcement signature (it says "node_announcement" in the message below, but that's a typo!):

Here's what we think the channel_announcement should look like:

In particular, we set feature bit 19. The spec says we should set feature bit 18 (which is clearly wrong!). But if we set that, what happens to the features to empty? Signature passes.

This means we need to fix it, and the spec.

Thank you so much for this report!

This has been fixed in the just-released 0.8.2.1, plus in master!
