AppStream metainfo.xml files are like extended .desktop files used to populate app stores with information about GUI applications. Debian and Ubunto and other major Linux distributions are starting to push for their inclusions. This is a fairly minimal example that just covers the required entries. The text for the description is a slightly modified version of text taken from Electrum's FAQ.
Metainfo files can contain links to screenshots. I have not included any here, but that might be something someone would like to add in the future.
- save remote alias for use in invoices
- derive local alias from wallet xpub
- send channel_type without the option_scid_alias bit
(apparently LND does not like it)
note: Would it be ok to log potentially secret (semi-sensitive) data?
We take care not to log onchain private keys as they are extremely sensitive,
but what about logging a LN transport message that might contain channel secrets?
Decided not to, for now.
Sometimes the trampoline node fails to send a payment and returns
TEMPORARY_CHANNEL_FAILURE, while it succeeds with a higher trampoline
fee. My guess is that the initial fee was not sufficient to try
all routes, and that a higher fee allows to use extra routes. I
suppose it would make more sense if the trampoline node returned
TRAMPOLINE_FEE_INSUFFICIENT in that case.
wallet.lock -> wallet.transaction_lock order must be respected.

With a PyCharm debugger attached, sometimes the python process is so
CPU-starved for me that create_and_start_event_loop() returned
before the event loop actually started, resulting in weird errors.
I guess this could happen even without a debugger attached on a
sufficiently slow CPU.

(this somehow escaped attention before, as most objects usually don't have multiple instances,
unless multiple wallets are open at the same time.)
Also, move all signal declarations, class constants and variables to the top of class definitions.
Always use "." as decimal point, and " " as thousands separator.
Previously,
- for decimal point, we were using
- "." in some places (e.g. AmountEdit, most fiat amounts), and
- `locale.localeconv()['decimal_point']` in others.
- for thousands separator, we were using
- "," in some places (most fiat amounts), and
- " " in others (format_satoshis)
I think it is better to be consistent even if whatever we pick differs from the locale.
Using whitespace for thousands separator (vs comma) is probably less confusing for people
whose locale would user "." for ts and "," for dp (as in e.g. German).
The alternative option would be to always use the locale. Even if we decide to do that later,
this refactoring should be useful.
