Honestly embarrassing this is even a thing worth worrying about :(

we will find better solutions, just need to keep innovating!

Honestly even with lightning as it exists today there’s no excuse for force closes being often, that’s just an implementation issue.

yeh it's mainly LND being trashšŸ˜‚

The ideal scenario is channels should never force close and we should never experience temp channel failures when making payments. hopefully we'll get there.

Temp channel failures (usually liquidity issues) are rather fundamental to the protocol, force closers aren’t.
