How is sequence number n committed to the nth commitment tx and accessible on-stack during script evaluation? >From what little I understand, I imagine that "n++" here is a SCRIPT input (such that any "n < n++" must be given). Then the SCRIPT itself contains the "n" it has. So the SCRIPT above is lacking the check: n < n++ which I suppose can be done via OP_DUP OP_GERATERTHAN OP_VERIFY Thus `n` is embedded in the SCRIPT directly as a constant. Now the script itself is committed via P2WSH, and the output SCRIPT is committed to in the SIGHASH algorithm used. Regards, ZmnSCPxj
