((("payment channel","constructing the funding transaction")))Alice's node can now construct a funding transaction, sending the amount agreed on with Bob (`funding_satoshis`) to the 2-of-2 multisig address. Let's assume that funding_satoshis was 140,000 and Alice is spending a 200,000 satoshi output and creating 60,000 satoshi change. The transaction will look something like <<A_B_funding_Tx>>.

Alice _does not broadcast_ this transaction because doing so would put her 140,000 satoshi at risk. Once spent to the 2-of-2 multisig, there is no way for Alice to recover her money without Bob's signature.
