Fee estimation #52

Open darosior opened 2 years ago

darosior commented 2 years ago

In the first version of the software, users will have to input the feerate they want to use when creating a spending transaction. They may want to have an automated estimation instead. We could provide this by querying our Bitcoin backend for a fee estimate. If it fails we could optionally fall back to an aggregate of the estimation given by some web APIs. The query could also be made through Tor.

This is something we can iterate over. We don't need to do all at once. But users must have a way to opt-in or out.

Thoughts? Is it something users would be interested in?

Assigning it to the Minisafe v1 project, we'll want some sort of fee estimation at this point. As a first step it can just be an estimatefee command on the daemon that will only query bitcoind in the backend for now.

Removing from Liana v6. After a discussion with the team i've been convinced this doesn't bring much value to most users: you need to have a bitcoind that's been up and running for awhile before you get any estimate.
