Lightning: how to eliminate "hop_hints" from a generated invoice
I tried to generate a twitter friendly invoice the other day (less than 280 characters) but due to the "hop_hints" the char count was more than that. my question is how I can eliminate the hop_hints from the invoice hash? I read the man entry for "invoice" command but it didn't have such option
getinfo output

Hey, thanks for the bug report!
I never thought of this! Hmm, there's a developer-only option in master called dev-routes which you can use to override the normal heuristics, eg. 'dev-routes=[]'. But I never thought of a normal option to do this...
Yech, you could restart with --offline, generate the invoice, then restart without. That will work, but it's damn clumsy!
