Is it a good idea to close all channels before BIP110 kicks in?
https://start9.com/bip110/
Or can RDTS backend node runners just sit tight? What happens if a non RDTS channel operator closes?

Lightning is a difficult world
This has happened to me a number of times with lnd, but I think it's mainly a lack of TLC on my part that caused it. Experience helps make living with lightning 'safer'

Thanks
Might get to opening a 1M sat channel tomorrow

Anyone feel like joining in on this little channel triangle please do!

Nice to be in the same boat

The main thing is that startup times have dramatically improved - clearnet is better and tunnelsats takes you there without losing privacy. Their website is well done and you can pay via lightning. It is very stable, only one problem in a couple of months I just needed to restart the tunnel to fix it. Tor on my box was just getting in the way.

To be fair, I hadn't seen your node on my list of tor only ones. Perhaps my channel closures were related to a hardware change. I'll stay on for another few weeks and monitor the tor crashes. Thanks

My node goes wild every now and again - usually Monday morning!!! Tor is very active at those times and usually my 'tor only' nodes go down. There have been closures of nodes happening at these times some of which have clearnet. I recommend using tummelsats to get an incognito clearnet vpn address

Breaking
I'm shutting down my tor connection. Means I will be closing connections to Tor only nodes. Sorry if this affects you.

I can so relate to this

Back online and opening channels/getting set up

2025-10-16 01:59:37 UTC

I was using a raid system but swapped out a another disk and re-added it (quickly). DO NOT DO that!
Just an update. I am currently re-indexing the chain. My Lightning directory does seem intact but as a test I used chantools to compact the channel db file and it failed.... If everything fails, I plan on re-starting and opening channels to all nodes that were working well a couple of days ago
Was using LND 0.18.5

Unfortunately I will most likely have to do a recovery procedure. Hastiness here never pays off.
Sorry to disappoint. I'll probably be back again - a sucker for punishment. I'll post updates here on my progress.

2025-10-14 11:22:55 UTC

Offline at the moment for an OS upgrade. Sorry for the inconvenience

The majority of bitcoiners do not want bitcoin to be changed to an ethereum like platform.

Bitcoin Knots is now THE #1 Implementation
It's official – Knots the implementation Edelweiss uses is #1
There is still a lot of path to be gained - others do not strictly speaking need to move but if you want to fight spam on the Bitcoin Network and prevent legal risk in running a node, it is BEST TO MOVE. Remember we are bitcoiners and we are here because we moved from the current financial system to the future one.
This has not gone unnoticed and to prevent bitcoin being turned into a digital CENTRAL bank where the implementation that governs how it works takes over - We moved again.
Move off 'Bitcoin Core' – Use Knots and stay free

A SOFTFORK enforcing OP_Return limits which is backwards compatible may be the way out - Pass it on

2025-09-28 10:13:55 UTC

Core is still fighting to get 100k jpegs of CSAM onchain
Do upgrade to Knots ASAP
It's in all of our interests
The Media Outlash could be gigantic

2025-09-14 13:48:54 UTC

More maintenance today folks
Back online tomorrow

2025-09-10 21:40:49 UTC

I'm upgrading the OS snd will be offline now and again for longer periods
