Excellent metrics you recommend! However, I think I need to properly research where to get that data and which specific data points to use for the Lightning Accessibility Index formula, because the information available out there might not be exactly what we need and we may have to do some additional calculations.
If you know where we can find the channel opening cost and the median routing fees, we'd move much faster I already have the public node count. As for the UTXOs, I'd need to research that too, but I'm sure there'll be a solution to get that information. It's highly likely that the UTXO data comes directly from the node via RPC, in which case things would get a bit complicated for me, because that info would be better sourced from a public RPC rather than my private one for security reasons and infrastructure reasons, since my node goes down sometimes. Either way, that's speculation from a place of not knowing yet; I'd have to research both metrics from scratch: where they're generated, where they go, and how we can use and implement them. It'll take me some time to digest and implement all of this in the project, but I'm sure we'll get there.
