[ALPHA] ThunderNetwork - A Lightning Network Implementation Working Now

[matsjj]

Good Day everybody

I present you a implementation for a Lightning Network Payment-Hub + Client. Everything is written in Java and can be accessed on

http://thunder.network + https://github.com/matsjj/thundernetwork

I made some changes to the channel design to have everything working on the current Blockchain, without the need for softforks. Due to that, the network is no longer no-trust, but low-trust. This will change with the upcoming new OP_CODES.

The provided wallet is just a prototype, I will focus on building a potent backend in the future. There are many wallets out there already, it will be much more useful if those add these functionalities.

Using such a payment network will help to greatly release the pressure in the blocksize-debate. Furthermore, as there are less everyday payments on the blockchain, there is more space for important transactions of higher value.

That would be lovely! Feel free to contact me if you need further information on anything, as the documentation is still not very clear on many things. There has been some discussion on reddit aswell,
