BOLT12: Should we allow offer creation when not connected to any counterparty?

[tnull]

Currently, when an LDK node isn't connected to any counterparty that could act as an introduction point, calling ChannelManager::create_offer_builder will fail with a MissingPath error.

This can be kind of annoying UX-wise. I wonder if we can default to creating offers without including an introduction node, assuming that senders need to know/learn how to reach us, similar to what we do in the BOLT11 case?

#3246 will allow creation without blinded paths, using the node id.

Ah, wasn’t aware of it, closing this issue then.
