Does anyone know why it’s “bad” for a bitcoin miner to also be a lightning routing node? ie. Are there possible exploits a miner is able to do to its peers/channel partners that are not possible for regular routing nodes? I feel like I’ve heard “don’t just a miner that’s also a routing node” but don’t quite remember why, will sling some sats around to whoever has a solid answer
