Wait a second 5 Sat/VB is high fees?
How much was the incoming liquidity?
Did you get your sats back?
Discussion
I believe there was a short spike last week. It triggered the channel to be closed by LSP.
The incoming liquidity was 1M but they charged 16k sats to open it and close it 2 weeks after.
I got whatever was on the channel back on-chain as per design. Just a piss off that I need to pay another 16k sats to open another channel.
No other channels that I own on my bare metal node were closed. Itβs the only one I tried with nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm Hub that was closed.
Thatβs a ripoff, they should refund that 16k sats, nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm should do the right thing
Not sure itβs necessarily their fault. I was just confused that a LSP could close a paid channel a few weeks old. However I believe they should change their default LSP.
I donβt understand why a fee spike would force close a channel. If they didnβt tell you thatβs a possibility when you sign up, they should refund your sats.
We are on the same page.
Itβs an unfortunate event since I had just setup the hub and was exploring it. Seems like an awesome product. I am just reluctant on spending another 16k to use the node.
Ended up opening another inbound liquidity channel but this time in advanced settings I can choose another LSP.
I chose nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 Olympus.
Nothing beats running your own node. Hopefully this works out better
Good luck.
Couldnβt agree more.
However nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm Hub is potentially a compromise. I host it on my own server and do not have to deal with updates.
Right now my functional bare metal node needs Bitcoin Core, fulcrum, and thunderhub updates and I do not have the time to do it.
It will eventually need a SSD upgrade to 2 TB.
nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm Hub is light weight and within a docker compose container.
Was able to run the docker compose in Portainer within 45 seconds
