[Lightning-dev] Lightning C prototype v0.2: "Butterfly Labs' Timely Delivery"

Hi all, Thanks to Anthony Towns, who as a new contributor got to name the release. Future releases will be more regular! This release has a daemon which does the crypto handshake and can connect to other daemons, establish channels, negotiate and fulfull HTLCs, and close them. What it doesn't do: stealing old transactions if they're published, handling (unilateral) close with HTLCs, nor routing or fee negotiation. In addition, there is very little testing and many known bugs: 110 FIXMEs at current count! Plans for the next release: - Nail down the remaining unhandled inter-node protocol cases. - More testing and bugfixes. - Revisit crypto and packet format vs. https://github.com/LightningNetwork/lnd For a guide to the source, see: https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/blob/master/HACKING.md Cheers!
