From 69c13551dcbf3d93768c7a0f5bda9017af673883 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lagrang3 Date: Mon, 6 Jul 2026 11:55:12 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 1/5] xpay: fakenet test: move funds when payment succeeds Improved the fakenet simulation by moving funds after a payment succeeds. This triggers a bug in xpay. At PAYING Node #8 xpay fails after trying many 1msat routes: ``` error: {'code': 209, 'message': "Timed out after after 842 attempts.

"} ``` A lower bound learned for channel 45210x2134x44171 at a previous payment is to blame. xpay thinks it has enough liquidity for ~198ksat 100% sure and it keeps trying and failing, while refine produces 1msat alternative payment routes after every MCF computation because fees don't fit even for our current knowledge. As a matter of fact the computed routes are attributed a very low probability of success at around ~0.4%. This is a case for which our assumption that "the cost of X+fees is not much greater than the cost of X" breaks down. To fix this: - we need xpay to relax that lower bound. The multiple failures are empirical evidence that our knowledge is wrong and we should correct it, - the probability cost function should add a buffer for hypothetical fees, ie. New_cost(x) = Old_cost(x + fees).
