Hey Pierre, 

 

That’s what I am having a hard time understanding. Although it is timelocked in 
the second stage HTLC-timeout, I can still spend the original commitment 
transaction although after some time. This is what my thought process is:

 

*       Offer the Htlc output and sign the commitment transactions
*       Broadcast the commitment transaction containing the offered HTLC 
outputs to the main chain. The outputs of commitment tx are: (1) to remote; (2) 
to local with to_self_delay and (3) to P2WSH (the script I pasted earlier)
*       Commitment transaction gets mined
*       Spend the third output using 0 <remotehtlcsig> <localhtlcsig> 0 in the 
witness stack which will send the outputs to <local_delayed_pubkey> using 
to_self_delay

Now I think when you say the HTLC time out transaction is timelocked, you are 
referring the to the to_self_delay when spending the htlc-timeout. But although 
there is that timeout, the commitment transaction is already broadcasted, and 
the P2WSH output is already sent to my public key (although with a delay I can 
still spend that without my counterparty’s assent). Now, my counterparty on the 
other hand  when he gets the pre-image, does not have the P2WSH output to claim 
his bitcoins with the pre-image because it has been already locked with my 
<local_delayed_pubkey> which I can spend when the to_senf_delay` is over

Hello Ugam,

 

The HTLC-Timeout transaction 
<https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lightning-rfc/blob/master/03-transactions.md#htlc-timeout-and-htlc-success-transactions>
  is timelocked (with locktime=cltv_expiry).

 

Cheers,

 

Pierre
