Re: [Lightning-dev] An Idea to Improve Connectivity of the Graph

Good morning Alejandro, I was about to ask Christian this myself. There is another technique: Use a sequence of `nSequence`d transactions off-chain. For example, to get an 2-bit counter, you would have: funding -> kickoff -> bit1 -> bit0 Only funding is onchain. kickoff, bit1, and bit0

I'd also like to point out that the way we do state invalidations in Lightning is not really suited for multi-party negotiations beyond 2 parties. The number of potential reactions to a party cheating grows exponentially in the number of parties in the contract, which is the reason the Channel

Good morning Abhishek Sharma, While the goal of the idea is good, can you provide more details on the Bitcoin transactions? Presumably the on-chain anchor is a 3-of-3 multisig UTXO, what is the transaction that spends that? What do Lightning commitment transactions spend? Can you draw a
