Generalized channels

A proof-of-concept implementation to evaluate a UTXO-based generalized channel construction in Bitcoin.

Usage:

• Install Python >= 3.7.3
• Install dependencies (check requirements.txt)
• execute main.py
• change flag lightning to inspect either the lightning or the generalized channel construction
• inspect stdout output to see raw transactions and size
• optional: enter different private keys and unspent TX outputs, publish resulting transactions on testnet
