ive lost some sats for sure to brutal force closes, and i also think i had a utxo disappear on me with CLN node but just couldnt figure it out ( wasnt huge but still scary as fuck). moreso ive lost so much time fucking with it...if i could go back in time and just be chillin with a blixt wallet node or something and never triedmore. its really only for the reckless as the saying goes.

so, this is me when people that have only used phoenix complain about a .4% fee for sending 😅

haha, so a huge time sink and headache. Is there a rhyme or reason for force closures, or is it just up to the wallet? I know one way to prevent force closures is to actively use the wallet and lightning channels.

oh there can be many reasons. i had a time where i used my node stupidly to fire up a mutinee wallet...that seemed to cause force closes to blast through my node. another time i decided to use CLBoss and that like instantly caused some force closes ( not sure why). then there are complete mystery ones that i just dont have enough info to or knowledge to figure out. so yes huge time sink and headache. i think blixt or zeus embedded with a few private channels is as far as most need to venture into lightning land.
