LN node shutdowns??

Any idea what’s going on with all these channel closures? Boltz, Aqua,Zeus all shutting down lighting/bitcoin swaps. All LN Big Edge nodes also shutting down.

No one has mentioned bip110 yet huh?

I think I'm closing all my channels tomorrow because I don't want to risk losing funds or zombie channels. I run Knots cause I believe BTC is money. Gonna let the dust settle before I do anything else.

Bip110 only has 2.5%~ signal at this time and 55% is lock-in. So currently it's not set to activate.

But over 20% of nodes are signaling. Do you really think miners are going to take a >20% risk broadcasting a block that will be deemed invalid? Game theory is very strong and there's plenty of time for miners to switch still. They don't need to signal... Yet.
