Help on LN part of LNP/BP Core Library

[UkolovaOlga]

We need to implement the BOLTs as extensions. These extensions can be replaced later with other protocols. The structure of these extensions is already there. Now it's a matter of feeling in the details. If anyone wanna go down this rabbit hole with @rajarshimaitra , do reach out/leave your comments here.

This is quite a big chunk of work and more help we can get its better. Raj will brief you over the basic structures that are already in place and what things still need to be done. Which mostly involves reading out the BOLTs and implementing them in rust.

Feel free to ask questions and/or raise a hand to help.

Thanks @UkolovaOlga . Great feature by github.

Reference

this is where the Bolt3 extension lives. Which is an extension that creates the commitment transaction of a channel as per BOLT3.

I have opened a draft PR for the Htlc part, which will be responsible for adding the HTLC transactions. Going through the discussion might be helpful as I have pointed a few required design decisions for which I am looking for suggestions.

And do check out this dev call presentation from few weeks back. to get an overall idea of what lnp-node is trying to achieve.
