Why do those forced closures happen?

Many reasons, but the ones I’ve seen is when TX is stuck and HTLC expires. It’s a protection against bogus TXs (I am n00b here so it may be not accurate) 🐶🐾🫡

This really needs to improve and become more stable because I don’t think Lightning can survive if people keep having their channels forced closed, lose a bunch of precious sats settling the closure and then they need to spend even more sats to reopen another channel.

True, but I wouldn’t hold my breath. Millions of sats will continue to be lost on this 🐶🐾🫡

unfortunately yes
