== list of topics
|
|
|
|
This is a list of grouped topics that might be covered in the book.
|
|
It will lead to the creation of an index
|
|
The grouping is obviously not unique and there is no notion of priority compiled to this proposal.
|
|
Some topics occur in several groups.
|
|
|
|

=== Motivation: Why the Lightning Network
|
|
|
|
* Scale Payments (amount of possible payments independent of block size / data base size)
|
|
* increase privacy (not all payments stored on chain)
|
|
* decrease settlement time (get rid of confirmations)
|
|
|
|
=== Using / transacting Bitcoin with the Lightning Network
