Bidirectional channel opening in c-lightning With the current version of c-lightning is it possible to open a bidirectional channel funded by both parties?
I managed to open a channel with fundchannel command, but that seems to be a unidirectional channel, since only I provided the funds.
I don't understand how the entire network can work if we can open channels funded by just one party.
There seems to be a mix in notation. Payment channels on lightning are bidirectional by design. However that does not mean that funds can always flow on both directions. Currently channels are funded by one party an as such can not receive funds after opening. As was mentioned in the comment what you mean is called a dual funded channel. 

As soon as you use a channel to make a payment the balance changes and you will be able to receive funds. Since the lightning network is in use it is fair to assume that most channels by now are somewhat balanced in the sense they can send and receive. So at this time it might just be a matter of opening one channel t be able to pay some party on the network and thus have the ability to receive money again. There are services that reimburse you onchain once you pay their invoice. This can be used to have a balanced channel. 

In deed in the very beginning with the channel design there was the cold start problem. But apparently this has been overcome. Though I agree with you it is hard to imagine that we have been able to do so without dual funded channels. 

BTW lisa neigut is pretty far of implementing the dual funded channel protocol for c Lightning. So clightning will probably be the first implementation supporting dual funded channels.
