The exchange of emails is available here: https://github.com/ariard/chaincode-improper-communications/blob/master/alex-ln-protocol-developer.pdf https://github.com/ariard/chaincode-improper-communications/blob/master/antoine-ln-protocol-developer.pdf

This is one more element after months of (un)kindness between some folks in the Bitcoin space and myself. While the initial quarrel started from a personal matter, it turns out in the resolution of it I've come to question how some people might use their Bitcoin public status and prerogatives, I believe not always in line with the FOSS standards and beyond.

Mitigating Tx-Relay Jamming for Time-Sensitive Contract Protocols

The last few years have seen few new protocols spawning up in the Bitcoin ecosystem. The goal range is quite wide : payment systems (Lightning Network, statechain), asset management (vaults) financial instrument (DLC), privacy-enhancement tool (Coinswap). Those time-sensitive contract protocols are designed around the same model.

They involve a fixed set of participants, which negotiate state changes locally, only relying on the blockchain in case of disagreement. These state changes are encoded in pre-signed transactions. Timelocks are used to encumber them and thus order concurrent state transitions. Their security lean
