Hello,

I initiated the opening of my first channel on March 7th, but I decided to switch to a permanent computer for my Lightning Network node. So, on March 10th, I requested the cancellation through Thunderhub with a fee of 6 sats. Note: I’m running Umbrel on Ubuntu Server.

I installed it on the new computer, but not all backups are available; some are showing errors when loading. The status remains as “closing.”

I’m trying to force the closure, but I’m not succeeding!

Thank you.
