This plugin adds the ability to pay a bolt11 invoice through a specific channel,
even if a better/cheaper route exists through a different channel. A new RPC,
paythrough
, is defined which takes the same arguments as pay
, except the
second argument is scid
which is the short-channel-id of the channel you wish
to pay through. This leverages the exclude
argument on pay
, so that argument
is removed.
This can be useful for keeping channels balanced or otherwise managing liquidity when you will be paying for something through lightning anyways.
