I’ve moved onto a new node and restored from my old one but the channel force close fee looks too low. It won’t tell me the close tx id but the peer on the channel says it’s this mempool - Bitcoin Explorer . Given the current fees, 10s/vb might never clear. I’ve tried bumping the fee but it doesn’t …

Afraid the 2 weeks window only applies to channel-opening. To get your off-chain sats back, you’d either need to wait for 10sats/vbyte, or bump it. Since it’s a post SCB, you can only either Rely on your channel-peer (assuming they run LND) They should follow this , and since it’s an anchor chan…

This article seems to have some interesting suggestions: High onchain fee environment - Lightning Node Management . Based on this I’ve changed max-commit-fee-rate-anchors from 10 to 100 in the LND config to handle the current fee levels. I’ve got 45K sats in the btc wallet for an onchain close which…

Awesome, really appreciate the feedback. Will try the channel-peer option first and see how we go.

Hi Hakuna. I’m in the process of going the chantools route. The article in German you shared is good, i’m just not clear on how to find a txid for the --sponsorinput flag and the article doesn’t really go into it other than to say “a UTXO from your LND wallet which has already been confirmed”. Chant…

Hi there, the sponsoring input is an UTXO which you need on your LND wallet to pay the fees. So you’d need to send a small but sufficient amount of sats to sponsor the payment. 20k sats should be sufficient. Once you sent some sats to your LND wallet, this UTXO can be found with lncli listunspent,…

Thanks, I’m really close. I used an existing UTXO in the bitcoin wallet of my lightning node and it liked that process, created the psbt and with that i did a publishtx, however the response is “[lncli] rpc error: code = Unknown desc = transaction rejected: output already spent”. :~$ sudo ~/umbrel/…

Sorry somehow didn’t get notified that there was a reply. So we can only assume, but I think that this is because your local mempool doesn’t have the closing-tx anymore (it was purged due to too low fee). How you could try and remedy it: test if your local mempool has the tx: ~/umbrel/scripts/a…

You’re a genius. All sorted. The closing transaction was missing from my mempool. The above sorted it all out. And the help of the chantools article in German you sent through previously. Below is the successful CPFP transaction. [image] mempool - Bitcoin Explorer Explore the full Bitco…

Super happy you made it! Shoutout to Wario, the author of the article, who I pinged with your issues and deserves the credit :innocent: I’ll relay your donation, thank you so much! But the learning is the best part of it!
