Good morning Chris, and probably also Lightningers,

On the other hand, when considering Decker-Russell-Osuntokun, the `(halftxi=
d, encrypted_blob)` approach to watchtowers simply does not work.
Watchtowers are simpler in Decker-Russell-Osuntoku if and only if the watch=
tower knows the funding outpoint, therefore knows which channel it is watch=
ing *before* an attack on the channel occurs, and is less private.

I have argued before that we should instead use `(sighash[0:15], encrypted_=
blob)` rather than `(txid[0:15], encrypted_blob)`.
This makes Decker-Russell-Osuntokun blobs indistinguishable from Poon-Dryja=
 blobs, and the watchtower is not even made aware what the commitment type =
of the channel is until an actual attack occurs.

If watchtowers use `(sighash[0:15], encrypted_blob)` instead, the proposal =
to hide the collateral input behind `hashPrevouts` would be workable, as Ch=
arlie knows the entire sighash of the B collateralized contract transaction=
 even if it does not know the txid.
This also does not reveal the funding outpoint, or whether it is watching a=
 Poon-Dryja channel, a Decker-Russell-Osuntokun channel, or a CoinSwap.

--

Even if we propose that CoinSwap makers should run their own watchtowers ra=
ther than hire a public watchtower, it's safer for a CoinSwap maker to have=
 watchtowers that are unaware of exactly *what* they are watching.
If the watchtowers are aware of the funding outputs they are watching, then=
 every additional watchtower a maker creates increases the attack surface o=
n the privacy of the maker, as the funding outputs becoming known allows th=
e maker hodlings to be derived.

If watchtowers only get a partial sighash, then the information that they c=
ontain are not sufficient by themselves to determine what coins are owned b=
y the maker, thus every additional watchtower is no longer a potential atta=
ck vector on the privacy of the maker.

So this is off-topic, but anyway, we should probably move to using `sighash=
[0:15]` instead of `txid[0:15]` for watchtowers.
