For example, you can use a service that exchanges Lightning Bitcoins for onchain Bitcoins (so that you do not lose your Bitcoins, or be forced to exchange it for other assets) in order to get incoming liquidity. There also exist services that will, for a fee or for free, create channels to you.

No need to name names (specific ones may not be around forever anyway, so ---), at least it gives a hint to the user to search for such services by themselves.

| [Spark-wallet](https://github.com/shesek/spark-wallet/) is the most used remote control, | ||
| and care is taken to avoid breaking it too often. | ||
| **Use it [behind tor](https://github.com/shesek/spark-wallet/blob/master/doc/onion.md)**. |

I forget not everyone proxies their node through a decoy :P
imo this rationale for "why tor" is worth adding to the FAQ.
| block [598000](https://blockstream.info/block/0000000000000000000dd93b8fb5c622b9c903bf6f921ef48e266f0ead7faedb) | ||
| (short channel id starting with > 598000) have a high chance of supporting `option_static_remotekey`. | ||

I think copy/pasting the Python one-liner is the most benefit. It gives readers a quick way to check + it 'educates' the curious as to how feature bits work.

This regroups questions (frequently) seen in Github issues, on IRC, and also some I've been asked in face to face. Changelog-Added: doc: An FAQ was added, accessible at https://lightning.readthedocs.io/FAQ.html Christian wrote the block chain rescaning paragraph. Lisa corrected my poor english grammar.

Tim Ho asked about annouced IP addresses on IRC, and this was not covered in the FAQ.

Travis shows the integration tests as passing, but it's not showing up on the approval checklist. |
This adds an FAQ, I mainly used the issues (thanks for the
questionlabel !) but also IRC and face-to-face questions.Do you have an idea of another topic that could/should be covered here ?
