A very interesting question was raised by
ZmnSCPxj
on transporting smart contracts through LN, which is possible in principle if
the smart contract can be
implemented as a Bitcoin Script. An opinion was given that
Poon-Dryja channel is more reliable
for transporting “arbitrary” contracts than
Decker-Wattenhofer
or Decker-Osuntokun-Russell channels,
although the latter are better in every other sense.
