Introducing Clearnet and Tor only liquidity swaps

Posted about 2 years ago by LN+

Up untill now all liquidity swaps allowed both nodes with Clearnet and Tor connections (addresses) to join. This option will remain as is. However, we will now have two more options for special circumstances.

Now, you have the option to create swaps that only allow nodes with either Clearnet connection or only allow nodes with Tor connection.

Clearnet only swaps are beneficial to node operators who want to minimise the problems stemming from the slowness of the Tor network. I'm not entirely sure what the benefit of Tor only swaps are (privacy?), but they are here for you if ever needed.

On the swap index page, you can filter for All, Clearnet Only, and Tor Only swaps.

If your account is set to "Show Only Applicable" swaps, you will not even see the swaps that you can't apply to anyway based on the type of your available addresses. For example, if you only have a Tor address, you will not see Clearnet only swaps.

This new feature is exposed through our API as well.

As always, please let me know if you see any issues with this or any other feature on the site, or if I can help you with anything.
