I still have much to learn about lightning.
Things I still don’t understand: who pays tx fee when closing a channel? Can someone send me 1 sat, close channel and make me pay a tx fee? If I send you 1 sat through someone else and then close the channel I sent it through, does that cause a cascade of on chain transactions? I would doubt it.
Lightning is just a little too clever for me to thoroughly understand intuitively.
