Summary:

Sean Bowe, a developer, requested feedback for Hash Time-Locked Contract (HTLC) transactions in Bitcoin. HTLC transactions allow payment for the preimage of a hash with CSV/CLTV being used to recover funds if the other party is not cooperative. The scripts have a specific form and are malleable due to hashing the top item on the stack regardless of scriptSig's satisfying HTLCs.
