I had a channel with boltz once before but because of faulty hardware (mine), resulted in a forced closure. I've used liquid as an intermediary for a few years now between stacking and cold storage. The only channel I still have that has never given me issues is my phoenix wallet, but that too has its own set of tradeoffs. If I had someone who could sit down with me and help me idiot proof my lightning node setup, I'd prefer that, but my multiple failed attempts have been anxiety inducing and expensive lol
