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/thundernetworkI 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.
