Subject: [Lightning-dev] Peer selection
Message-ID: <CA+Zg=czbP+UBSsigXF1Gzq+HZGPKAuy8wFpFnX4swY6fR3KqEQ@mail.gmail.com>

I have been reading LN specs, one question that I am trying to answer
is how do I find a peer
for my lightning connections.

Lets say I want to connect to the network with 6 links, each having $100.

1. How do I select the nodes to peer with?

2. How do I make them to do deposits - ideally I want them to match $100 each.
    But since they are presumably already sufficiently connected to
the network, why would they lock more funds?

3. How do I find out if someone wants to connect to me?
