Perhaps someone could help me.

Lightning seems quite sound in theory, but I have misgivings about the order in which a fresh transaction is signed, and the secret to the old transaction revealed.

It would seem that by interrupting this chain before both old secrets are revealed, the attacker could safely claim all coins in the channel.

I'm probably wrong, but I'd like to know why.
