## Specification
`Channel addresses`, as seen [here](https://burakkeceli.medium.com/channel-addresses-bd85e9ab8fe1) and [here](https://rubin.io/bitcoin/2021/12/11/advent-14/), make it possible to craft on-chain bitcoin addresses such that whenever funded by someone, becomes a payment channel between the user and the channel partner (LSP), where the channel funds are initially kept on the user's side. Channel address require new additions to the bitcoin scripting system, and therefore planned as a future extension under [BDS-19](https://github.com/bits-wallet/specs/blob/main/19.md).

`Expiring channel addresses` proposes a much more primitive version of channel addresses that can be built on Bitcoin today. If we add to the 2-of-2 musig inner key a single-leaf script path after a relative locktime to the user, similar to pre-segwit timeout channel design, it becomes no longer necessary to craft a refund transaction in advance of funding the output. If the channel partner (LSP) is non-collaborative in exchanging signatures for a refund once the address is funded, the user can exit from the script path after the expiry. Ultimately, it's LSP's responsibility to close the channel shortly before its expiry. While this may seem a bad idea from an on-chain footprint standpoint, we anticipate users to mostly receive funds over silent swaps and only rarely receive on-chain through expiring channel addresses.
