Next goals for this node

Posted over 1 year ago

- Increase capacity to 2BTC (outgoing min. 1BTC)
- Fokus on clearnet nodes
- Avoid unstable node connections
- Minimum Channelsize 3MSAT - I might replace small channels next year

Again several (4) forced closed (automatically) in a short timeframe

Posted over 1 year ago

I had again 4 automatic forced closures - For some the reason might be instable channel partner for some I do not see any reason. The node had no issues for several weeks before. 
It is really frustrating and expensive (several hundred dollars closing costs :() - if someone has a good source of measures to avoid forced closures or at least to identify the root cause I would be happy.
My node is pretty stable - currently no network issues. Performance should be fine as well. I only upgraded to lnd 17.2 but according to release notes this should help not make the situation worse. 

LND API hung -> restart

Posted over 1 year ago

Looks like LND is no longer responding on its API which is causing LNDg etc. no longer to work.
Restarting the node. Should be back in 30min.

LND load issues

Posted almost 2 years ago

2023-05:
Several (mainly TOR) channels were automatically closed due to LND issues. I observed very high CPU load as soon as LND Web GUI is open. Several TOR channels were impacted. I will slowly reopen new channels (clearnet). I will keep also TOR open to connect to my node.
