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
