Feature Request: Scripts to Convert Impl Graphs to Sim Files #266
Description
Describe desired feature
Add tooling scripts that convert graph dumps from each of the supported implementations into a simfile that can run sim-ln in simulation mode with that graph.
Args:
- Input file: path to the graph file that needs to be converted
- Output file: optional path that simfile should be written to (some sensible default if not set)
I'd see us supporting one script per LN impl, since each has different output formats.
Use case for feature
If you're just looking to run something on mainnet (or a reduced version of the mainnet graph), build in scripting like this will massively reduce friction to using the simulator.
I have an ugly version of this for LND which needs cleaning up. Maybe we want this to be a bash script rather than python - open to arguments in either direction!
Would you like to contribute code for this feature?
No - up for grabs!
