📝 Original message:
If using two hashes to deliver the payment while still getting a proof, I'm
not sure what that provides above just sending regular lightning payments
over multiple routes with one hash. Firstly, if there is a second hash, it
would presumably be the same for all routes, making them linkable again,
which AMP tries to solve. And secondly, the receiver has no incentive to
claim any of the HTLCs before all of them are locked in, because in that
case they are releasing the transaction receipt before fully being paid.
