===Rust Lightning network node===

Another LN node? Why we need it?

The problem with the existing Lightning node implementations is their very limited extensibility for such things as:

* future LN upgrades (channel factories, pay-to-ec-point, taproot),
* protocols on top of LN (layer 3), like [https://hackmd.io/@lpQxZaCeTG6OJZI3awxQPQ/LN-DLC DLCs on LN] or proposed [https://github.com/LNP-BP/lnpbps/issues/24 Lightspeed payments], which require modification on the structure of the commitment transaction.

We will try to build a node that is highly modular and is ready for the future LN extensions. More information here: https://github.com/LNP-BP/lnpd

During the hackathon we will try to:
* compose core architecture with non-blocking multithreading
* add lightning network wire protocol
* implement BOLT-9 (using rust-lightning it should be simple)
* implement BOLT-1: do connection to other LN nodes + send/receive `connect`, `ping` & `ping` messages
* (optionally) implement gossip protocol

=== c-lightning ===

[[User:Cdecker]] is available on Mattermost for mentoring of c-lightning projects. Feel free to propose your own ideas, and we'll help you design and implement them :-)

Some ideas for projects / challenges:

* Hardware wallet integration: c-lightning has supported external funding via the `fundchannel_start` and `fundchannel_complete` RPC methods for quite some time, in addition the `close_to` parameter allows you to specify where funds should be sent once the channel closes. These can be combined to have all on-chain funds sourced from a hardware wallet and, after they were borrowed to operate a channel, they can be returned to the hardware wallet. The idea here is to write a plugin that interacts with the hardware wallet to fund channels, so funds are only temporarily controlled by c-lightning.

* `hsm_secret` generation from a seed-phrase: c-lightning will securely generate a random seed when first starting a new node. Given the lack of functional backup, and the seed not being sufficient to restore all the state, c-lightning has so not included any seed-phrase to restore the seed. However due to recent improvements both in backups and replicated DB backends, it would be great to also safely store the `hsm_secret` using existing tooling, such as paper backups, encrypted BIP39 seed-phrases, or even steel backups. Goal of this challenge is the creation of a launcher or plugin that takes a seed-phrase and generates the associated `hsm_secret` file.

* Trampoline Proof-of-concept: Trampoline routing is a recent proposal to outsource some aspects of route-finding to another node in the neighborhood of the sending node. This is useful for nodes that may be unable to sync the network topology through gossip, or do not have time to sync before they need to send out a payment, e.g., mobile nodes. Using c-lightning's ability to implement custom protocol extensions (`custommsg`) and the ability to create routing onions with arbitrary payloads, you can implement a fast gossiping extension with which nodes announce their ability to route on behalf of others, and the sender to encapsulate the instructions for a trampoline node (where to go and how much to send).

* Networked RPC interface: c-lightning is purposefully not exposing its JSON-RPC over the network, in order not to mandate a specific method of interaction. Plugins can take care of exposing the API in a variety of ways (grpc, JSON-RPC, REST, ...) and they can also be used to enforce arbitrary access policies using the `rpc_command` hook. These two aspects can be handled independently, i.e., one plugin exposes the API over some transport while another plugin enforces the authentication and authorization required to access the API. This in turn allows to mix and match arbitrary networked API endpoints and authentication mechanisms. Goal of this challenge is to come up with a generic way to have one plugin expose the API, and pass along any authentication information that was submitted with the request, so another plugin can enforce access policies.

==Adding your Project==

Feel free to add a challenge yourself! Ask Jeff or Rootzoll on the [https://mm.fulmo.org Mattermost] for the password to edit the Wiki-Page. If you have a GitHub Repo best practice is to put the label "hackathon" (yellow) next to issues you like people to join/help for the weekend. If you added a challenge please also get in touch on [https://mm.fulmo.org/fulmo/channels/lightning-hacksprint Mattermost] for more information and collaboration.

===getroutevia: a c-lightning plugin for route search with restrictions===

Find routes that satisfy additional criteria, for instance, must go through certain nodes. More info and discussion here: https://github.com/s-tikhomirov/getroutevia/issues/1

Chatroom to get started: https://mm.fulmo.org/fulmo/channels/x-getroutevia-c-lightning-plugin

The initial version is implemented, it lets you specify a list of nodes that a route must go through. Apart from this extra parameter, the usage is similar to getroute. It is possible to enforce either that it goes through all or any of them (you have to modify the source code). Other restrictions are also possible (a simple example is in the code). Some questions I faced are in the [https://github.com/s-tikhomirov/getroutevia/issues/ issues].

===Rust Lightning network node===

We will try to build a node that is highly modular and is ready for the future LN extensions. More information here: https://github.com/LNP-BP/lnpd

===Backup plugin for c-lightning===

Backups are a major issue in the Lightning Protocol, given that any sort of
dataloss could potentially result in loss of funds. This means that restoring
an old backup of the database could result in the node broadcasting an old
state, which is a cheat attempt in the protocol, which is punished.

The backup c-lightning plugin (https://github.com/lightningd/plugins/pull/97)
implements the basic mechanisms to create a synchronous backup of
any change to the database, and ensures that the backup stays in sync with the
database. It does so in a generic way allowing to write backups to a variety
of backends, but initially only implements a file-system based backup backend
that is located on the same machine, but on a separate disk. Doing so already
provides protection against data corruption on the primary disk. Potential
future improvements could include:

* Backup to Google services. Examples include:
** GDrive
** Google Docs - Sheets
** Google Cloud Storage
* Backup to Dropbox
* Send backup data to a peer using the custommsg hook
* Backups to a dedicated backup server

In the case of a dedicated backup server the plugin could also manage a
subscription that is used to pay for the backup service.

[[User:cdecker]] is available for additional information and mentorship. See his [[User:cdecker|Wiki page]] for contact information.

'''Outcome:'''

* The backup plugin now has a matching `backup-cli` tool to initialize the backend and to restore from a backup
* In addition to the file-backend we now have a dropbox backend that minimizes bandwidth requirements by splitting the backup into multiple files that are uploaded separately
* The Dropbox backend also allows the backup to be GPG encrypted

===Low Bandwidth Lightning Channels===

There is a need to strengthen the Bitcoin ecosystem for people whose only computing device is a low end mobile phone and who live where Internet access is expensive, unreliable, intermittent or censored. [https://github.com/willcl-ark willcl-ark] created a way to proxy Lightning channels over low-bandwidth communication systems using a c-lightning patch "[https://github.com/willcl-ark/lnproxy/blob/master/clightning/noencrypt_final.patch noencrypt]" and python plugin called [https://github.com/willcl-ark/lnproxy lnproxy]. This plugin is written specifically to use a goTenna radio connected to a computer over USB, but this system can also be adapted for other low-bandwidth channels like SMS (for people who cannot afford mobile internet), LoRa mesh radio or similar systems. [https://github.com/jharveyb jharveyb] is working on [https://github.com/jharveyb/fldigi-proxy fldigi-proxy] to help adapt LNProxy for ham radio and willcl-ark has created a [https://github.com/willcl-ark/lnproxy/commits/2020-02-23-ham fork of lnproxy that uses sockets] to work with the fldigi-proxy.

You can read more about LNProxy [https://inthemesh.com/archive/lntenna-python-3/ here] to get an overview of the project.

The challenge is to adapt LNProxy to a different low-bandwidth communication method. For example, LoRa radio, Bluetooth or an SMS API.

==Adding your Project==

Feel free to add a challenge yourself! The wiki is open to any Bolter (you'll figure out how to edit). If you have a GitHub Repo best practice is to put the label "hackathon" (yellow) next to issues you like people to join/help for the weekend. If you added a challenge please also get in touch on [https://mm.fulmo.org/fulmo/channels/lightning-hacksprint Mattermost] for more information and collaboration.

Find routes that satisfy additional criteria, for instance, must [not] go through certain nodes. More info and discussion here: https://github.com/s-tikhomirov/getroutevia/issues/1

===Rust Lightning network node===

Another LN node? Why we need it?

The problem with the existing Lightning node implementations is their very limited extensibility for such things as:

* future LN upgrades (channel factories, pay-to-ec-point, taproot),
* protocols on top of LN (layer 3), like [https://hackmd.io/@lpQxZaCeTG6OJZI3awxQPQ/LN-DLC DLCs on LN] or proposed [https://github.com/LNP-BP/lnpbps/issues/24 Lightspeed payments], which require modification on the structure of the commitment transaction.

We will try to build a node that is highly modular and is ready for the future LN extensions. More information here: https://github.com/LNP-BP/lnpd

During the hackathon we will try to:
* compose core architecture with non-blocking multithreading
* add lightning network wire protocol
* implement BOLT-9 (using rust-lightning it should be simple)
* implement BOLT-1: do connection to other LN nodes + send/receive `connect`, `ping` & `ping` messages
* (optionally) implement gossip protocol

===Weenode===

Help wanted on [https://github.com/bitcoinprivacy/weenode/labels/hacksprint Github issues with label "hacksprint"]

===Backup plugin for c-lightning===

Backups are a major issue in the Lightning Protocol, given that any sort of
dataloss could potentially result in loss of funds. This means that restoring
an old backup of the database could result in the node broadcasting an old
state, which is a cheat attempt in the protocol, which is punished.

The backup c-lightning plugin (https://github.com/lightningd/plugins/pull/97)
implements the basic mechanisms to create a synchronous backup of
any change to the database, and ensures that the backup stays in sync with the
database. It does so in a generic way allowing to write backups to a variety
of backends, but initially only implements a file-system based backup backend
that is located on the same machine, but on a separate disk. Doing so already
provides protection against data corruption on the primary disk. Potential
future improvements could include:

* Backup to Google services. Examples include:
** GDrive
** Google Docs - Sheets
** Google Cloud Storage
* Backup to Dropbox
* Send backup data to a peer using the custommsg hook
* Backups to a dedicated backup server

In the case of a dedicated backup server the plugin could also manage a
subscription that is used to pay for the backup service.
