  • We have a probing guide merged into lightningdevkit.org, feedback appreciated
  • May want to also link to matt’s recent payment path scoring blog post
• Feature progress
  • Async payments
    • #3408 close to land, follow-up also close to open. Somewhat honing in on async receive
  • RGS
    • V2 protocol has been stable
  • VSS
    • Working on resolving testing todos and pending items in rust VSS for postgres
  • Dual funding + Splicing
    • Accepting DF didn’t make it for 0.1, config-disabled for now. Jkczyz stepping up for some refactors working with dunxen
    • Optout working on a prototype for splicing, a few reworks needed for the aforementioned refactors
    • Splicing is top priority this quarter
    • Wpaulino rejoined spiral recently coming from bitkey, welcome back! He’ll be helping with splicing
• Open Q&A
  • Wvalint: just opened a draft PR to help define anchor channel reserves. Looking for conceptual review
  • Basically trying to calculate transaction rates, expected feerates, and tries to define what the anchor reserve should be. Very user-driven similar to how we handle the BumpTransaction events
    • https://github.com/lightningdevkit/rust-lightning/pull/3487
