Describes three potential approaches for integrating Bolt with Zcash

[daira]

Is this intended to be a candidate for NU3? It seems insufficiently specified and/or dependent on other features that we don't have yet, but I'm willing to include it for consideration if that's your intention @jakinyele .

Does BOLT compete with StarkPay? https://medium.com/starkware/when-lightning-starks-a90819be37ba

@jakinyele can you add detail here for me and @daira to review?

[jakinyele]

@acityinohio, @daira. We updated the pull request with more details but would like some feedback on what we are thinking for shielded transactions. We are doing a final review of the submitted version today and will update the pull request accordingly. Thanks for your patience!

@warner Would you be willing to review and provide comments on this ZIP sometime this week?

[UX Review]: Bolt channels will require heavy UX/UI effort for both education and use. While this falls into the purview of the wallet or app creator, we should do a design story on how privacy would work within the bolt funding/spending/closing flows.

This is a good candidate for a mock-up or rapid prototype for further user research.
