My newest: A way to perform P2P atomic swaps without an obvious on-chain fingerprint.

I was inspired by something I saw on the lightning network (shhh, simmer down, those of you hissing in the back of the room): that atomic swaps can be performed off-chain, without leaving an obvious on-chain fingerprint and cross-chain-linking identifier. I was thinking this week whether such a thing is possible for direct atomic swaps including those on BCH, and I realized, yes! You can actually hide atomic swaps inside of completely innocent-looking direct peer-to-peer payment channels. Not only that, but there are significant speed advantages over regular atomic swaps, plus enabling of trustless high-frequency trades.
