All attempts to open channels fail mysteriously about lightning HOT 8 CLOSED

Looks like some residual state on the cat server is aborting the connection on your side. My guess is that the server remembers you while your node has no idea why it is attempting a reconnect.

@rustyrussell: can you check on the server's side?

Note that this doesn't only happen on the cat server; it happens identically on the lightning clicker server: http://159.203.218.14:8000/

(Although in both cases I didn't inspect the very first failure, so it's possible this is only a secondary failure.)

Ok, that's strange indeed, I also just checked that the outputs you used to fund the channel is still available.

Maybe a dev-crash can help here?

BTW: thanks for pointing the game out, opening a channel as we speak 👍

I reproduced the problem without trying to. It would appear that the nodes became disconnected and re-connecting resulted in an erroneous packet from the server, triggering the unilateral close.

Here's a filtered log (without chaintips and subprocesses).

I'm not much help on the why of this one, but every attempt I make to open a channel is failing, here's an example.

Looks like your version is old?

The protocol changed to always send a PKT_RECONNECT. Which is now
called PKT_INIT.

Cheers,

PS. That's not to say there aren't other problems :)

Hm, it seems that I was on branch "debug-log" which has not been updated to keep up with master. Should I switch to master or do you want to rebase debug-log?

Thanks!

Indeed it seems that on branch master, this problem goes away (being replaced with other problems.) Thanks! I will leave this open for you to close in case you want to answer my question about the fate of the debug-log branch first.

Let me delete that old branch...
