Strawman protocol for lightning channels.

The wire protocol is documented in lightning.proto (a protobuf definition file).

There are command line utilities to create and process various packets in test-cli.

It requires features not currently in bitcoin, so it runs on top of the sidechain Elements Alpha

This is very much a testbed and work in progress; expect All The Things to change, all the time.

Cheers,

Rusty.
