18 sats \ 2 replies \ @DarthCoin 22 Aug \ parent \ on: My LN channel on Alby Hub was force-closed bitcoin
Thanks for coming here and give an explanation. Many noobs are starting with Alby Hub and do not understand fully how LN channels behave in high fee env.
Will be nice to add into Alby Hub more info about closed channels, so the user could see what really happen and how much time will take to recover their funds. Right now for a total new user to LN, this could look like a terrible situation where their funds just disappear and there's no way to recover (and we know that is not true).
How can a beginner avoid the force closure, what are your tips ?
Also, why this happened to Alby Hub and not on the Phoenix wallet?
Cheers

Channels across different lightning implementations can be better configured.
Phoenix has the advantage that their LSP service has been built by the same team that build the mobile wallet. So both lightning implementations are well aligned.
But you only can open channels to their LSP afaik.
Alby Hub lets you choose the channel partner and allows you to open channels to several LSPs. That's why we are actively working with them better cross-implementation configurations.
