Autopilot is a way of automatically opening and managing channels with peers.

Improvements

New heuristic added in 0.11 is much better, and for 0.12 Autopilot will be enhanced even further, to actually optimize your position in the network and not just connect out the the “best” node

Settings

Below settings seem to work. Update this page if you know more ;).

  --autopilot.active=true \
  --autopilot.allocation=0.9 \
  --autopilot.minchansize=182817 \
  --autopilot.maxchansize=682819 \
  --autopilot.maxchannels=50000 \

Miscellaneous

Autopilot is available in the Casa hardware Lightning Node.
