Hey fellow noderunners... I have something like 140k sats on-chain on my node, tryna open a 100k channel, keep getting this error.

Am I correct in thinking that sending some dust so it has another UTXO to cover all closing fees of my open channels will free up the other UTXOs so I can actually use them?

Interesting. I have never seen error like this. Maybe utxo consolidation would help... What kind of node do you run? Umbrel?

LND node. Same as what Umbrel uses.

I get a similar error in ThunderHub too. It's definitely something to do with the UTXOs.

How would I go about consolidating UTXOs? Can't spend them without getting this error.

RTL have something to manage it?

I don't think RTL would help. Have you any unconfirmed pending transaction in the mempool?

Nope. All coins are confirmed.

Just sent some dust over with a low fee so I can see if it helps. Will see.

Good luck! πŸ‘

It worked!

Great. Good job πŸ‘πŸ‘

I should open LN channel with you 😎

Sometimes it has helped me to send all available balance to myself at new bitcoin address of lnd. I guess this consolidates all utxo to a single one and then you can open channel with (almost) all balance
