[Lightning-dev] Lightning C prototype v0.3: "Nakamoto's Genesis Coins"

Hi all, Thanks to Braydon Fuller, who as a new contributor got to name the release. This release is mainly under-the-covers changes. It's still just two nodes talking to each other, but the protocol is fully documented[1]. * Segregated witness is used for transactions, and is required. * The wire protocol is now fully async, as per latest BOLT#2[2] * All the onchain cases (stealing, unilateral close, mutual close) handled as per the onchain draft[3] * Many internal improvements and cleanups. There is still very little testing and many known bugs: 100 FIXMEs at current count! Plans for the next release: - Simple routing and announcing - Persistent storage For a guide to the source, see: https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/blob/master/HACKING.md Cheers! Rusty.
