Dear All,
         What can be the potential problem if a channel is opened whereby
the channel capacity is not revealed publicly but just a range proof of the
attribute (capacity >0 and capacity < value) is provided ? Will it pose a
problem during routing of transaction ? What are the pros and cons ?
I think that revealing channel capacity make the channels susceptible to
channel exhaustion attack or a particular node might be targeted for node
isolation attack ?
