I will add it to the links at the bottom of the write-up, as I agree it's related. Do note there are a few key differences: - The swap is set up in an "asymmetric" way with only timelocks on one side, so on the other side the swap *never* expires - The timelocks are set up in such a way that the swap does not expire unless Alice starts the relative timelock countdown (the revoke transaction) - This relative timelock setup comes practically for free, because the asymmetry naturally requires that kind of setup >The "OR Alice in +1 day" branch can be implemented, at least on Bitcoin an= d similar blockchains, by signing a specific `nSequence` "OR Alice in +1 day" is "refund transaction #1" from the diagram. If I'm not mistaken, the change you are suggesting is exactly how "refund transaction #2" is constructed. Note that #1 and #2 serve the same purpose. Strictly speaking, #1 is not needed at all, but it's there to give Alice the option to back out of the swap in two transactions as opposed to three. >It strikes me that the relative locktime is unnecessary on the output of t= his refund tx I believe I addressed this in the FAQ section (the question about absolute timelocks). An absolute timelock is possible, but you then need to make absolutely sure that the revoke transaction confirms in time, otherwise the protocol can fail (namely after Bob has received a copy of the success transaction and just waits and does nothing). You also lose the ability to keep the channel open indefinitely. >having a variety of different versions of the transactions with different = feerates could be used That's a good point. >As long as the one resolving a particular side of the swap is the one that= ocmpletes the signature (which I believe holds true for all branches?) Unfortunately this does not hold for the revoke transaction. It would be a bit awkward if Alice had a high fee copy after the protocol completes. She could send it to the blockchain and essentially Bob would be paying for it. I'm not as concerned about the other transactions, because those could all be bumped with CPFP if needed, but having different feerates would be nice. And a general comment about privacy: it seems inevitable that some information will be leaked if the protocol does not complete cooperatively. As long as the cooperative case is not traceable, that seems about as good as it can get. That's my view, at least. I'd be curious to hear if you see that differently.
