I think I lost about a month of stacking to channel closures last month. I am significantly scaling back the liquidity I put up on lightning. Juice is not worth the squeeze. Reward is not worth the risk.

I think it's best to only open channels with other node operators with whom you have direct contact. Nostr/Telegram/Signal/Phone whatever, you need to be able to message them and say "hey man, what's up?"
Great advice, wish I started like that when I did.
Ya, agreed. I am opting for 3 channels opened on blixt wallet with vendors i frequent, and one channel to blixt wallets node. By doing so i can have an ln address via blixt's lightning box. Coupled with persistent mode, the blixt wallet serves as my poor mans 'on all the time node' ( more like on most the time ) . Thats gonna be my lightning experience for now.
