can we help?

Hi bumi, thanks! I think the problem is I don’t have enough sats in there to move out.

Do you talk about the self-custodial Alby Hub wallet or the shared wallet?

if you have sats on the shared wallet you can move them out. how much do you have left?

If you can't move sats out is because Lightning have inbound liquidity and outbound liquidity. If you have let's say 171.000 sats and your inbound liquidity is 50.000 sats and outbound 121.000, that means you can only send 121.000 sat and receive max 50.000.

Lightning is a bit technical but when you leatn basics it's really easy especially tools like albyhub. They really make software simple enough for everyone to use.

That’s probably it, I was able to move a few sats in, but not out. Maybe at the time it’s because the fee was higher than the sats I had in… either way, I’m considering it a donation.

This how I feel about Mutiny, had 160k+ SATs in a channel, but wallet stopped working. Zero access. Goodbye 167000 SATs. Consider it a donation I guess.

Ouch 😟

you should not consider it a donation. if you have your backup you get that money out. I am sure somebody helps you here.

Thanks, but I tried all the different ways already. It did say not to put much money in at the start. I'm over it really. All lost SATs go to a good cause.

you do not own the inbound liquidity.

in your example you only own 121k. and those you can always send out if that’s in one channel.

in your example you can send in a max of 50k.

or what am I misunderstanding.
