Discussion
Splicing is a two-party feature: Both parts of the channel needs to support it.
What does splicing enable now?
Done:
- Adding/taking funds to/from a channel without closing it.
Future work:
- Moving funds from one channel to another or to a new channel.
- Paying a chain address from a channel
- Pay directly into a channel from external address or opening a new one
More complex tasks:
- Opening many channels at once
- Moving funds from many channels to many other channels
- Closing one or many channels and moving funds to another channel
