> OK, so nForkId 0 is exactly the "valid on all chains" specifier I was =
asking about, cool.  And your LN example (and nLockTime txs in general) =
illustrate why it's preferable to implement a generic replay protection =
scheme like yours in advance, rather than before each fork: all ad hoc =
RP schemes I know of break old txs on one of the chains, even when =
that's not desirable - ie, they offer no wildcard like nForkId 0.

Exactly!

> One comment on your LN example: users would have to take note that =
nForkId 0 txs would be valid not only on future forks, but on past forks =
too.  Eg, if BCH had been deployed with nForkId 2, then a user setting =
up BTC LN txs now with nForkId 0 would have to be aware that those txs =
would be valid for BCH too.  Of course the user could avoid this by =
funding from a BTC-only address, but it is a potential minor pitfall of =
nForkId 0.  (Which I don't see any clean way around.)

This is actually incorrect. There are two transactions involved in LN. =
The funding transaction, which opens a payment channel, and a commitment =
transaction, which closes the channel when broadcasted to the network =
(the cooperative closing transaction can be considered a commitment =
transaction in a loose sense).

Now you want to protect the funding transaction, as otherwise you would =
be subject to a replay-attack on all *past* forks. So you will set =
`nForkId>=3D1` for the funding transaction, making this payment channel =
non-existent on any *past* forks. However, if during the lifetime of the =
payment channel another fork happens, the payment channel exists for =
both tokens. So for the commitment transaction, you will have =
`nForkId=3D0`, making it valid on both of these chains. While this =
`nForkId` is valid on all chains, the parent transaction it tries to =
spend (the funding transaction) does only exist on two chains, the =
original one you created the channel for and the one that forked away.
