CHANNEL UP: A Bitcoin Lightning Game

A Bitcoin Lightning Game

Based on the Bitcoin Layer 2 Lightning network, players compete to be the first to buy 2 pizzas with bitcoin to win. Before they can buy pizzas, however, they first must open and close channels, balance their inbound-outbound liquidity, and route payments to earn Satoshis (fractions of bitcoin). There are also griefing attacks, Layer 1 transaction fees, down nodes and watchtowers!
