Strawman protocol for lightning channels.
|
|
|
|
The wire protocol is documented in [lightning.proto](lightning.proto)
|
|
(a [protobuf](https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/)
|
|
definition file).
|
|
|
|
There are command line utilities to create and process various packets
|
|
in [test-cli](test-cli/HOWTO-USE.md).
|
|
|
|
It requires features not currently in bitcoin, so it runs on top of
|
|
the sidechain [Elements Alpha](https://github.com/ElementsProject/elements)
|
|
|
|
This is very much a testbed and work in progress; expect All The
|
|
Things to change, all the time.
|
|

|
Cheers,
|
|
|
|
Rusty.
