Feature request: Use getzmqnotifications for the ZMQ addresses

See original GitHub issue

Issue Description

I think it would be nice if eclair used the getzmqnotifications RPC method in bitcoin to get the ZMQ addresses. It would mean users has less things to write in the eclair.conf file.

What are the limitations of using this rpc call ?

What does it return ? Is it just whatever is configured in bitcoin.conf or is it smarter (as in: don’t return something when it there was a zmq error)
How does it work when the bitcoin node is not on the same machine as the LN node and is accessed through its IP address ?
How does it work when the bitcoin node is not on the same machine and is accessed with SSH and port forwarding ? (this is a very common setup for testing and afaik the recommended way of accessing remote bitcoin node)

Closing this issue. Since the fallback will always be needed, I don’t think this would be that much of an improvement considering the extra code it adds.
