I'm trying to be cool even though my favorite wallet may have just lost ~700K of my sats. Even if I can get the money, my confidence in the software has been shaken. š«¤
I'm going to sign off for a little while and chill out.

Sorry to hear that. Did this happen with lightning?
No, not really. I closed the lightning channels and the on-chain wallet said I had 698K (which is what I expected) but I can't move those funds out.
What happens when you try to move thos 698K onchain sats out? Have you tried using another wallet (with Taproot support)?
Can you share what wallet?
Zeus. And they told me to re-scan the chain and now instead of 0 and an unconfirmed tx, it says 9K and no record of that tx.
So I guess my money from those closed channnels was donated to mount olympus. I'm trying to get it sorted out with them, but it's looking pretty grim at this point.
Don't take it too hard if it's lost my g.
Some of us have lost much much more šš«š¤
If the funds are on chain, i wonder if can try using a wallet like sparrow to recover using an exported xprv. Id try p2tr and native segwit script types with standard derivation paths and set a high gap limit of like 1000+.
I think LND uses seed words that are not BIP39. Iām pretty sure it would still be possible to export an xprv and derive addresses though.
I was able to rescue them with Sparrow as you and Zeus suggested. I'm not happy to have to use this kind of a failsafe, but I'm glad it was there and worked when I needed it.
I have had several issues with Zeus wallet, but whomever is behind the social media account is absurdly responsive and really knows their shit. One short message and they usually have me out of the initial jam (and potentially onto the next one, but then we repeat until I get my money recovered). So far, no funds lost other than some fees for channel closing (or getting them force closed on me).

I reinstalled Zeus Wallet and inserted my 24 seedphrase, and now i can't see my funds, or any transaction history or any of my closed channels. I've tried to rescan wallet, delete neutrinos, and reset express graph, nothing seems to fix.
Check out our Backup and Recovery docs: https://docs.zeusln.app/for-users/embedded-node/backup-and-recovery/
When you restore from seed your channels are force closed and should appear in the Pending Channels list.
I closed all channels with Olympus, imported my seed into another wallet (Sparrow) and moved them to another on-chain wallet.
I'm taking a break from Zeus for now and plan to come back when I can connect to my own self-hosted lightning node. Not sure if I'll try to use the embedded node again or not.
I'm entirely useless in this scenario, but that hurts and I hope you get it all back. So sending... sympathy...
I'm honestly not sure why everyone creams their pants over Zeus. I've found it to be endlessly buggy.
OK, got my funds recovered. Ty to Zeus support and the others who chimed in to help.
Not sure what went wrong with Zeus, but I was able to import the seed into Sparrow and that wallet could see & move the money just fine. Didn't work on the first attempt because BlueWallet doesn't support Taproot (yet)
Zeus has had multiple issues for me, but never lost my money entirely. I'll be playing with smaller amounts going forward.
