You'll need to have funded the "dave" address prior to running the `btc` command - otherwise the transfer will fail gracefully.
I was using this primarily as a way to experiment with constructing and broadcasting Bitcoin transactions, with the hope that it would be possible to move on to more advanced constructions (e.g. state channels). However, now that I look at all the options, it seems that multi-party state channels in Bitcoin are (probably) impossible to construct.
There is a second, unused Bitcoin client in place which uses Blockstream's Electrum server, but this didn't seem to be working properly with respect to Signet Bitcoin network during my testing, so I went with the esplora / Mutiny version instead.
