Hi ZmnSCPxj, Christian, list,
the paper is a bit confusing regarding the setup transaction, as it is
not described formally. There also seems to be a mixup of "setup
transaction" and "funding transaction", also named T_{u,0} without
showing it in the diagrams.In 3.1 the funding transaction is described as funding "to a multisig address". In the description of trigger transactions the change is described as "The output from the setup transaction is changed into a simple 2-of-2 multisig output" - which it already is? As far as I understand the situation, the the trigger transaction is needed because the broadcasted initial/funding/setup transaction includes an OP_CLV (possibly enforcing premature settlement). Removing OP_CLV, i.e. by changing it to a simple multisig output, seems to solve this issue. Could you (Christian?) explain how the "setup transaction" is supposed to look like without the changes described in section 4.2? I like the idea proposed by ZmnSCPxj, but I'm not able to weigh the pro/cons of both approaches. For a direct unilateral close both peers would need to know the first update transaction and an attached settlement transaction, which is comparable to the approach presented in the paper (trigger transaction and settlement transaction). The main advantage of getting rid of the trigger transaction seems to be that only two transactions (latest update and settlement) have to be committed to the blockchain in the unilateral case, compared to three (trigger, latest update, settlement) in the approach presented in the paper.
