A module for [fcash-base][fcash-base] that implements [Payment Channels][channel]. Payment channels (sometimes referred as micropayment channels) are a type of smart contracts that allow rapidly adjusting bitcoin transactions. This can be used to do trustless simultaneous payments with a service provider without the need of an intermediary, and some other applications.

See [the main fcash-base repo][fcash-base] or the [fcash-base guide on Payment Channels](http://www.fcash.cash/guide/module/channel/index.html) for more information.
