Display "Can Receive" numbers in the Payment Request page #685

Open dimitris-t opened 6 years ago

dimitris-t commented 6 years ago

The Payment Request page should show you the "Can Receive" amounts the Channels page is already displaying. Or alternatively warn the user they are attempting to request more coins than their channels can handle.

Motivation: today most users learn about unbalanced channels the hard way, by issuing Payment Requests that cannot be fulfilled. Instead, the GUI should educate them.

There's a bug atm in the application that renders user unable to receive payments over private channels. This should be fixed later this week. (just a drive by message that's partially related to the issue at hand)
