different/changing fee estimates

[fiatjaf]

Yeah, I wanted that too actually. Use bitcoind to publish transactions, get block hashes and estimate fees, but trustedcoin to fetch the full blocks. However that requires an entirely new plugin.

The default bcli thing to be rewritten and then we just swap out the blocks part for the trustedcoin one. It's easy, but I didn't have time yet.

If you want to tackle that, I would recommend maybe copying code from trustedcoin and from this bcli rewrite: https://github.com/niftynei/glightning/blob/master/examples/plugin/pl_btc/btc.go

awesome - thanks for the link. i will see what i can do and if it is also easy for me to implement. will update here if i have something to show

i implemented this in the most reckless way (depending only on blockstream.info and not verifying blocks) - it works for some hours now with my node. will probably add something similar used by trustedcoin (more explorers and validate the blocks): https://git.dalliard.ch/trustme/

will close this, because it is not really an issue with trustedcoin
