 Maybe @niftynei knows more about this. I monitor my channel closes with core and walletnotify nostr messages, i just don’t see closes that often on CLN unless they are manually done.

Does LND close channels if the other node is offline for too long or something? Stricter validation checks? Why would this happen? 
 My raspi node crashes once a month if it doesn't restart correctly best I can do is ask for a forced close to recover my funds  
 Backups?  
 That kind of backup is precarious on lightning. Most backups will result in force-closed channels. Recovering channel state is scary due to risk of having not the most recent state and thus triggering a justice TX.

 idk, people want CTV + stuff. Everyone pushing for it is trying to thwart anti-spam initiatives though so my social heuristics are screaming at me that it's a bad idea and I haven't figured out why yet.

I guess that puts me in camp APO. 
 What's APO and CTV?

 thanks  
 Raspis are fun toys, not enterprise grade machines.  The future of money deserves better.  
 I want to learn how to run a business on LN and utilize the new features but I'm still not comfortable in how it works.  
I'd invest in enterprise grade machine if I have back ups and/or watchtowers. 

The redundancy of on chain funds makes total sense, but lightning is still confusing.  I even made $40 from someone using an old channel state no way I'd risk a lot of my own funds and especially other people's funds on it. 

Am I missing something or are all the implementations still sketchy?
