[bug]: Recover funds after the channel was force closed from the remote side #9181
-
BackgroundI wanted to open a channel from the Hydranode to the Kappa node. Unfortunately, I entered too low a fee and it looked like the transaction would be confirmed at infinity. When I found this out, I tried to delete the transaction from the mempool, but unfortunately, it only deleted the "pending channel" information from the LND on Hydranode. I am now in a state where the transaction https://mempool.space/cs/tx/47b157b734c4ed624c4c378331c484a92c924b6dbb3659dea657ade7256269a3 were confirmed (I have done acceleration of it in cooperation with mempool.space) and I did ask the operator of Kappa (Aaron LRoS - WoS <[email protected]>) to force close the channel from his side. After this step, the fund moved to https://mempool.space/cs/address/bc1qk7tvtq92nc0h2swtfhf9afkjuvk5djyj5dcqk2zxj5tr2nfm9p5st8qpjv, but I can't see it in our LND node wallet. I did rescan the wallet but that step had no effect. I did try to cancel this channel by command "lncli abandonchannel ...". Your environment

You should never call the cmd So I think the only way to recover in your case is the chantools command: because your SCB does not contain the channel anymore, so thats why a recovery via SCB does not work. |
