Hi there

I closed a lightning channel and without thinking used 3 sats for the close. Of course, now the chain is stuffed, it looks like this will never close.

Im worried that if the transaction reverses, this could be an issue as it was for a lightning transaction and the amount could get lost, is that possible?

I notice that RBF is not available, is there anything else I can do to close this channel out via umbrel?

Any help appreciated.

Many thanks

Degsy

Hi, there is an option in Ride the Lightning (RtL) to bump the fees for an existing transaction. Follow the instruction sin RtL to do so.
