Set lnd alias to OpenDEX alias #570

Open kilrau opened 4 years ago

kilrau commented 4 years ago

Currently the lnd alias is set to the first 20 chars of its pubkey. We would want to set it to OpenDEX: followed by the OpenDEX alias, e.g. OpenDEX: LaundryBrush.

Main goal is to increase visibility for OpenDEX on lightning network explorers like 1ml.com

And since LND pubkey/Alias <-> XUD Pubkey/Alias are clearly visible and can be queried when running a xud node, I dont think this changes much from a privacy perspective.

An alternative would be setting from 20charsOfLndPubkey to sth like 20charsOfLndPubkey (OpenDEX), so one could guess that a particular lightning node is used within OpenDEX from explorers like 1ml, but one would have to go through the hazzle to run an OpenDEX node and run a query finding the particular OpenDEX node for the lightning node.
