This looks like a new big player to me. Lots of non-wumbo sized channels, which seem to be opened on demand, automatically (at least based on my personal observation on c-otto.de). The node is hosted in the cloud, and I don't see any contact information. Does anyone know more about this node?

The node looks has a really short life and still relatively active, not sure a mixer would use lighting this way...

It seems that your node get mixed with the biggest one, two option for me:
- Testing an attack vector to biggest nodes
- Just "cleaning" (there is no dirty sats) quick a big amount
Do you see some traffic or it was just open/close to your node?

Oks, so the "attack" seems to be out of the picture, good for you :). Strange the amount of force closed channels, no need.
