Stale Factory (and channel) problem



Summary:

This email is part one of a series discussing the state of construction of channel factories. The first email focuses on the concept of stale channels, which occur when a channel between two parties, Alice and Bob, needs to be updated through refunding transactions but one party needs to sign before the other. This can result in delays and lost funds. The email provides an example scenario to illustrate this issue.
