@ -318,7 +318,7 @@ So now, Alice has constructed the two transactions shown in <<A_B_fund_refund_Tx
The refund transaction is not yet a valid transaction. For it to become a valid transaction two things must happen:
* The funding transaction must be broadcast to the Bitcoin Network. (To ensure the security of the Lightning Network we will also require it to be confirmed by the Bitcoin blockchain though this is not strictly necessary to chain transactions.)
* The funding transaction must be broadcast to the Bitcoin network. (To ensure the security of the Lightning Network we will also require it to be confirmed by the Bitcoin blockchain though this is not strictly necessary to chain transactions.)
* The refund transaction's input needs Alice's and Bob's signatures.
But even though these two things haven't happened, and even though Alice's node hasn't broadcast the funding transaction, she can still construct the refund transaction. She can do so because she can calculate the funding transaction's hash and reference it as an input in the refund transaction.
