Balance-Oriented Autopilot

Preamble

I want to bring to your attention the autopilot algorithm, built on simple principles, but which is effective (from my point of view). There is no need to qualify network nodes by types such as for example: Merchant, Router, Useless (i used Vampire term) and so on. The algorithm is very simple and here is its description.

Description

With some nodes we already have channels. We need to decide when we need to open new channels and with what capacity. We get a list of already open channels and create counters (accumulators) (newCapacity) with zero initialization for each node with which we have a channel.

	2019-03-22 i wrote the script which changes a channel fees by certain scheme

	Scheme described here:

	After three days (present time is 2019-03-25 19:40 UTC) i have a following amount changings of balanced/unbalanced channels.
	Below an each line is hourly amount of balanced/unbalanced channels:

	Amount of balanced (30%-60%) ones: 148

	Report about balanced channels (by fee changing)
