10 sats \ 2 replies \ @bumi 22 Aug \ on: My LN channel on Alby Hub was force-closed bitcoin
Also opening a channel during such a fee-spike is not recommended. we should add a warning to users about that.
The mempool fees have come down again already (5sat/vB on the second block and used it to be 1500sat/vB). I'd still wait a bit more.

I opened mine when fees were 2-3 sats/vB. Shame it still closes during short spikes. I’m not going to waste my sats on this again. Sats are like glue, the more you handle it, the more you lose

understandable, though technically there is still a lot more to it than a "short spike". But did you get our email? we work hard with the LSPs to prevent this but we put this on auto-pilot for users, so you don't need to care.
