Recently, I have come up with a scriptless version of the adaptor signatures and the contract required in the Lighting Network using only 2-party ECDSA signatures. The main advantage is that, instead of waiting for Schnorr signatures to be deployed in Bitcoin so that Poelstra's scriptless scripts can be used, I believe that this ECDSA-version of the scriptless scripts can be directly applied today. Details are in the attached PDF. I am looking forward to hearing your comments and suggestions. Cheers, Pedro. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
