=== Conclusion
In this chapter we looked at path finding and payment delivery. We saw how to use the channel graph to find paths from a sender to a recipient. We also saw how the sender will attempt to deliver payments on a candidate path and repeat in a trial-and-error loop. Finally, we saw how the newly deployed Multi-Path Payments feature allows us to split payments into parts, increasing the probability of success even for larger payments.

We also examined the uncertainty of channel liquidity (from the perspective of the sender) and the implications that has for path finding. We saw how we can quantify the uncertainty and use probability theory to draw some useful conclusions. We also saw how we can reduce uncertainty by learning from both successful and failed payments.
Finally, we saw how the newly deployed Multi-Path Payments feature allows us to split payments into parts, increasing the probability of success even for larger payments.
