In the above response, spendable will always be 0 since the balance is unspendable until connections with lightning channel counterparties are established. Using the my_balance method after the coin is activated will get the spendable balance depending on how many channel counterparties are online. For exact channel balances and which channels are usable, use lightning::channels::list_open_channels_by_filter.
