bitcoina cd103065aa Update ch01.asciidoc (#32)
Couple of edits to the great Ultra Transaction server piece. - Didn't know about this proposal before.   Gavin Andresen was a true innovator.

bitcoina 9a240565ce Update ch01.asciidoc (#31)
Proposed some edits to the initial paragraphs on the 'nSequence' number.  Aim is to make it slightly more accurate and readable.   Happy to break these proposals down into smaller chunks if there is too much in a single pull request.

bitcoina a30c6fbbcf Update ch01.asciidoc (#30)
* Update ch01.asciidoc

I'm proposing to change the word refugee to economic migrant.   Refugee suggests that someone has had to leave their own country without a choice, where-as I think most people submitting remittances do so by their own choice. 

I think economic migrant is a step towards the right wording, but could also carry other unwanted connotations.  Maybe "remittance sender" would be more accurate and less controversial...

* Update ch01.asciidoc

Updated the merchant example and put it into the right place.  Thanks @RicardoM17 for your contributions!   I've replaced the names, as I think the Alice / Bob notation brings some baggage with it that we probably don't need.  (Or if we do want to use it, we should re-apply the names in correct order at the end of the writing process.)

* Update ch01.asciidoc

Corrected Typo in customers

* removed the client side demanding fixed / low fees

bitcoina 776af4f3b6 Update ch01.asciidoc (#25)
Separated out from previous pull request - (now closed).   Changed the name in this description and incorporated the feedback from @RicardoM17 (thank you!).   Use case is still valid and moving towards being generic enough to include.

bitcoina dcf3fafd9c Update ch01.asciidoc (#19)
Just added a couple of points for consideration in the history.   I propose that Christian Decker should be recognized for his work on lightning paper as well as Tadge and Joseph.   

Also initial node software, the "reckless" movement and lightning.place are all important parts of the history.

Rene Pickhardt 0a055ad640 added a tentative list of topics which are already grouped a little bit towards potential chapters. this list will most likely be extended in the future before it will be prioritized and filtered and structured. Now is the best time to propose topics and make inputs 5 years ago

Bjarne Magnussen 47b6121e52 Update glossary.asciidoc (#17)
I was just skimming through the gloassary to get a feeling for the topics that may be covered in this book. 

I added small corrections when I found them. Feel free to use them as suggestions, or leave them be. :)

bitcoina ac083dec34 Update ch01.asciidoc (#15)
Updated first sentence.  

Removed "considered to be", as the fact it is a payment system is not controversial, and changed "the" to "a" as there are multiple payment systems for bitcoin, of which lightning is one..

Andreas M. Antonopoulos 0e9a1fbd7b Renamed glossary filename to correct typo 5 years ago
Rene Pickhardt 5221f94be9 merged glossery from renes drafts of the lightning network book (including latex to asciidoc) and mastering bitcoin. some terms are defined twice now. also the gloseery is neither concise in language nor in capitalization. I am just returing from USA and am very tired. just wanted to commit the first attempt to merge the glossaries so that we have some basis for discussion and also to see problems with creating the glossary and be able to define topics. At this stage I have the feeling there are quite some terms missing and some are unneccessary. 5 years ago
