ch01.asciidoc Update ch01.asciidoc (#85) 5 years ago
ch03.asciidoc started with the quick review of multisig, P2SH and P2WSH (segwit) decided to effectively summarize chapter 7 of mastering bitcoin and refer to it for people who see this for the first time 5 years ago
glossary.asciidoc first two subsections of chapter 3 and one addition to the glossary as Lightning Messages where not covered... WIP as always might rewrite large parts of this. Also the first section does not seem concise with the section about payment channels. Yet I believe both perspectives are useful and maybe the seperation is not too bad afterall 5 years ago
