[Lightning-dev] Lightning Pool: A Non-Custodial Channel Lease Marketplace

Hi y'all, We've recently released a new system which may be of interest to this list, Lightning Pool [1]. Alongside a working client [2], we've also released a white paper which goes deeper into the architecture of the system. Pool builds on some earlier ideas that were tossed around the ML concerning creating a market for dual-funding channels for the network (though the concept itself pre-dates those posts). Rather than target dual-funded channels, we focus on the current uni-directional channels, and allow users to buy+sell what we call a "channel lease" that packages up inbound (and also potentially outbound via side-car channels!) liquidity paying out a premium for a fixed duration. Live testnet+mainnet markets were also released today, giving routing nodes a new stable revenue source, and allowing those that need inbound to bootstrap their new Lightning Service a new automated way to do so. This is just our first alpha release which contains some limits/simplifications in the system itself. We plan to continue to iterate on the system to implement new things like streaming interest payments, and the version of side-car channels (buy a channel for a 3rd party) described in the paper amongst many other things.
