I'm 🤏this close to deleting every #GetAlby product I use.

The channel I didn't need and unintentionally paid 16k sats for closed on me as soon as it opened. I just don't know what to say.

I've inspected this further and also chatted with the LSP.

You are having a self-hosted hub there, your Alby account is connected. I see a lot of restarts of your hub there. It even looks here like you have started the Alby Hub twice in parallel. I think the hub does not protect against this, yet. But this for sure causes problems due to the nature of how nodes connect and manage state.

One channel was closed by your node actually (which indicates that there was an issue running the node).

Where do you run this hub?

And actually if you don't want or need a self-custodial lightning node, then there is no point in running it. At the state that we and lightning is at there will be some channels involved and an assumption is you want to connect to the network otherwise you would not run it.

Thanks for the info. I had installed and restored my hub on my umbrel. I thought I had turned off any other instances, I had my original instance in a docker container not on my umbrel so it’s possible the container was restarted somehow.

I’ve accepted the fact that this was user error (me) i wasn’t even bothered that the channel was closed as much as the funds migration thing I mentioned.

I’m kinda glad it closed, it left no more reason to keep the hub.
