No, thereβs no public way to know who opened the channel, modulo chainanalysis kinda digging. At the protocol level peer 1 is just the βlowerβ public key.
If I look at a channel in amboss (e.g. https://amboss.space/edge/834469951915294720 ) is `peer 1` always the peer that opened the channel (and therefore will pay the close cost)?
