bolt07: Simplify signature scheme for channel_announcement#96
Merged
Conversation
Reorders the `channel-id` and `bitcoin-signature-x` fields so that the signed part of the message is contiguous. Simplifies the signing logic not to just simple signatures of a contiguous region of the message, no need to sign signatures, they all commit to the same payload. This also removes the chicken and egg problem @pm47 reported in lightning#92. Furthermore it specifies that the signed payload also includes any future appended fields.
