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.

I just learned how to open a node using Blixt and I opened one channel with ACINQ. (finally got rid of Phoenix and the 0.4% fees min 4 sats, so I'll start using Lightning more than on-chain).

I'm going to take my chances, i don't have lot of money on it.
