[Proposal] Public Fraud Proofs for Just-in-Time Channels

The recent proposal introduced aims to enhance the reliability and integrity of just-in-time channels through the incorporation of fraud proofs and game theory mechanisms. The core strategy suggested involves clients making their payment preimages publicly available on-chain as a response to any misbehavior by their Lightning Service Providers (LSPs). This approach is detailed further in a document which can be accessed here.

Additionally, the paper explores potential enhancements in data handling, specifically considering the use of Electrum servers for managing op_return data. An alternative suggestion also discussed is offloading the indexing and serving responsibilities to nostr relays, presenting a shift towards decentralized solutions. This work has benefited from preliminary reviews by individuals identified as tnull, f321x, and SomberNight, whose contributions have been acknowledged in refining the proposal's scope and focus.
