Replying to Avatar Mike Dilger ☑️

I keep hearing about people's lightning nodes having to force close things and it sounds like they are losing a lot of sats somehow. Is that right? Is lightning somehow a fucked protocol? Please forgive and correct my ignorance on this topic. I'm interested not in the gory details, nor summary opinions, but in correct succinct explanations.

I haven't had issues with force-closures on my LND node so far, but I also am pretty selective about my counter-parties.

I have heard LND has more issues than CLN with that, though. Of course, the vast majority of lightning nodes are LND, so that might skew things, too. I would consider going full CLN, but Nostr is heavily reliant on lightning addresses for zaps. Need Bolt-12 for zaps, y'all!
