the default (9735) will be used regardless of other parameters
--nolisten Disable listening for incoming peer connections
--nat Toggle NAT traversal support (using either UPnP or NAT-PMP) to automatically advertise your external IP
address to the network -- NOTE this does not support devices behind multiple NATs

available state transition.
--unsafe-disconnect Allows the rpcserver to intentionally disconnect from peers with open channels. USED FOR TESTING ONLY.

sphinx replay logic.

--chan-disable-timeout= The duration that must elapse after first detecting that an already active channel is actually inactive and
sending channel update disabling it to the network. The pending disable can be canceled if the peer
reconnects and becomes stable for chan-enable-timeout before the disable update is sent. (default: 20m)
(default: 20m0s)

reconcile with the remote peer's graph from the genesis block. (default: 1h0m0s)
--rejectpush If true, lnd will not accept channel opening requests with non-zero push amounts. This should prevent
accidental pushes to merchant nodes.

startup. The first 10 reconnections will be attempted instantly, regardless of the flag's value
