Hello Everyone! Hope you can help me… My SSD died one month ago, so I bought a new one and decided to start with a fresh RPI as well. It’s been syncing for five weeks and it has now finished. When inputing my 24 secret words into the Lightning Node app, I see my funds (both on-chain and LN) are d…

I had a thought of alt wallet address for BTC but I dont remember how that works. This sucks. I wonder what it shows for channels on 1ml.com for your node. Are there open channels there?

I am no technical enough to understand your electrs errors. Normally, I used a simple solution of deleting and reinstalling Electrs when it did not work.

After thinking about this a little more, then coming back to read the other comments. I see that you also had onchain funds that are not showing. I read somewhere and I will try to find it. After you set up a new node it has to search the blockchain for the previous transactions. This may take a lon…
