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.

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.

* 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.

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..
