Hi.
I started reading this book, written by Antonopoulos, Osuntokun and Pickardt, right at github,
here.
I have created this thread to ask questions about the contents of the book whenever I'm unable to understand a sentence, a subject, an example or watever question I may have.
If others also want to ask questions on top of my questions, feel free but I would like to keep the thread kind of limited to my questions and people's answers so that I don't lose focus on eahc question/answer.
When I have a question, I'll try to link it and provide the most information possible to it and/or context.
To start, I'm at the middle of
Chapter 3, reading further down in Section [urlhttps://github.com/lnbook/lnbook/blob/develop/03_how_ln_works.asciidoc#protocol-breach-the-ugly-way]Protocol Breach (the ugly way)[/url].
The part I'm not fully understanding is this:
If you fail to detect the protocol breach and the timelock expires, you will receive only the funds allocated to you by the commitment transaction your partner published. Any funds you received after this will have been stolen by your partner. If there is any balance allocated to you, you will have to pay on-chain fees to collect that balance.
Specifically this part:
Any funds you received after this will have been stolen by your partner.
If we are not able to detect te cheater peer, we only get the funds that were allocated by the commitment transaction broadcast by the cheating peer, right? So, if this is correct, what are this "any funds I received after this will have been stolen by your partner"??
