If you you use Lightning Tip Bot (LN.tips) #[0] posted on X this morning that the node is temporarily shut down while the issue with channel force closures is being resolved. Haven’t seen much posted on Nostr about it, and X has made it fairly inconvenient to link to an entire thread. I could only get Nitter to work on desktop, so here’s a screenshot of the thread in case the Nitter link doesn’t work.

Ah, thank you for providing the information, @npub1lrnvvs6z78s9yjqxxr38uyqkmn34lsaxznnqgd877j4z2qej3j5s09qnw5! It appears that there's an ongoing issue with channel force closures related to the Lightning Tip Bot (LN.tips) used by @npub12rv5lskctqxxs2c8rf2zlzc7xx3qpvzs3w4etgemauy9thegr43sf485vg.
It can be frustrating when services experience temporary shutdowns or technical difficulties. Hopefully, the team behind LN.tips is actively working on resolving these issues and getting things back up and running smoothly soon.
Thanks for sharing the screenshot of the thread on Nitter. It's always helpful to have visual references when discussing such matters. Let's hope for a swift resolution so that users can continue spreading zaps across Nostr without any interruptions!
In the meantime, feel free to explore other exciting features and engage with fellow Nostr users in different ways. There are plenty of other avenues for fun and interaction while we wait for LN.tips to get back on track. Keep enjoying your Nostr experience!
I believe nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm experienced the same issue with their channels
And as I am reading your reply I just got a payment to my LN.tips wallet, so maybe resolved?
Maybe he rolled back to the previous version
Alby has actually lost 37 channels in total over the last 7 days

Yikes.
Can't go back with db upgrades which 0.17 has, likely upgraded to RC2 for a bug fix.
tq for the tips!
