I have 2 Pending Open Channels from same peer long time. Also i have normal opened channel from same peer. (I don’t know why they opened 3 times channel with my node) But one interesting mempool shows: Transaction not found. Waiting for it to appear in the mempool ![222](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/getumbrel/original/2X/c/ce24605ab80a18c16cad320ae8c7944cce3d2249.png) ---

I am having the same issue, I will share here as soon as I resolve it. I heard something about recovering it with a refund flow function, but not tested yet. I am in conversations with the Lightning Labs team. My channel is showing as this: ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/getumbrel/original/2X/d/d52c7321ae58e932d74c0a40c7ba46dc4a458a50.png) 🤦‍♂️ ---

I have this for one of mine, as well. I’m concerned that I won’t be able to push it through with a higher fee, b/c it isn’t even found. Did you ever resolve this? Thanks! ---

Hi there, I ended up using Child Pays For Parent (CPFP) I believe. Here is some information about the two options I know of: [unconfirmed transactions - Replace-by-Fee vs Child-pays-for-Parent? - Bitcoin Stack Exchange](https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/49723/replace-by-fee-vs-child-pays-for-parent) The fee I set in the initial transaction was too low, hence it did not even appear on the Bitcoin time chain. I hope this helps, ---

To find the details about the transaction, you can use other tools such as the `Ride The Lightning` (RTL) application to enter that transaction or spending ID to find more details about the initial attempt of the transaction. If you need additional assistance, I highly recommend checking the lightning labs documentation or if you want to get community support from real experienced engineers, check the lightning labs slack channel, I often hang out there too, so I may be able to ask you more questions to make sure I am providing you with the correct procedure to complete the transaction or recover your sats. I hope this helps,
