Remove the option to manually set a fee rate for opening channels #1281
Comments
With the current design, the user will have to click on Instead we can add a warning which says something like: To make the feature even better, a lookup for the prevailing fee rate can be added via the mempool.space api. The response from the fee rate can be compared with the fee rate user has entered and if the user entered fee rate is lower than the low priority rate, the above mentioned warning should be shown to the user. |
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Users like to open channels with cheap rates. But they don't know what they're doing. What often happens is they open a channel with a fee rate that is too low and the channel will not open within two weeks, causing the peer to forget about the channel. That could in some cases lead to loss of funds.
Describe the solution you'd like
Remove the option to manually set a fee rate in RTL. Or at least hide it in some advanced section with a clear warning that you have to know what you're doing. The days of 1 sat/vbyte are over.
