An Architecture Using Payment Channel Networks for Blockchain-based Wi-Fi Sharing

The authors derive a comprehensive collection of 14 design principles for workable Wi-Fi sharing networks and propose a reference architecture combining a blockchain (for trust and immutable records) with payment channel networks (for fast, cheap micro-payments), augmenting current approaches with adequate accounting mechanisms.
