htlc generate-secret

Legacy spelling: this command was previously spelled htlc-generate-secret. Both spellings work, but only the nested spelling shown here appears in help and tab completion (v1.4.5+).

Generate a new random HTLC secret and print it to the console.

Usage​

htlc generate-secret

Notes​

The secret is printed in hex. Store it securely; it is needed to spend the HTLC on the recipient side. Pass it to htlc calc-secret-hash to obtain the hash required when creating the HTLC.
