Is it possible to lock just partial amount of fund of a payment channel and leave the rest to be used by some another payment request ? Concept of subchannels of a single channel has been suggested in "Atomic multi-channel updates with constant collateral in bitcoin-compatible payment-channel networks" https://scholar.google.com/scholar?cluster=40566801298747858&hl=en&as_sdt=2005&sciodt=0,5 but I am still in doubt what happens during closing of subchannel ? -- Yours sincerely, Subhra Mazumdar. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
