Suppose Alice contacts Bob to get the data. However, Bob happens to have lost the data in a tragic boating accident. Now, supposedly what Alice does in this case would be to broadcast the HTLC= settlement transaction, whose signature was provided by Bob during protoco= l setup. But this seems unworkable. * If Bob managed to sign the HTLC settlement transaction, what `SIGHASH` fl= ags did Bob sign with? * If it was `SIGHASH_ALL` or `SIGHASH_SINGLE`, then Bob already selected = the decryption key at setup time. * If it was `SIGHASH_NONE`, then Alice could put any SCRIPT, including `<= Alice> OP_CHECKSIG`. If Bob already selected the decryption key at setup time, then Bob can igno= re Alice. * If Alice does not publish the HTLC settlement transaction, then Bob will = eventually enter the N2 state and get the stake+reward. * If Alice *does* publish the HTLC settlement transaction, without Bob givi= ng the encrypted data, then Bob can just use the hashlock and reveal the de= cryption key. * The decryption key is useless without the encrypted data! It seems this part is not workable? As the decryption key is embedded in the HTLC, Alice cannot get a signature= from Bob without the decryption key already being selected by Bob (and thu= s already claimable even without any data being returned by Bob).
