Ahh if you restored your wallet your channel was probably closed and it’s now On-chain

You have to send a certain minimum to reopen the channel, I believe it’s 50k sats. So not sure if you met that minimum. Probably will be returned to your WoS if the payment failed

My. Funds are showing as on lightning. I tried to do a btc payment buy got a message saying I have no on chain funds.

Also is settings - Lightning Channel its showing I have a channel open?

Not idea what is going on here…

You may be confused. Looks like you tried to do a Btc payment with onchain funds when you have only lightning bitcoin.. think of onchain bitcoin and lightning as two seperate layers, you can’t pay onchain addresses with lightning funds. Similarly, you can’t pay lightning invoices with onchain funds. You would need to settle the Lightning channel on chain by closing your open channel to make this onchain bitcoin. Not sure if mutiny has this capability, this is why many people run nodes so they can open and close Lightning channels and return Lightning bitcoin to your onchain wallet

Yes you can close a channel in mutiny (aka settle on-chain)

Thanks I don’t know mutiny well enough to know if it can do this.

You can close your channel but there will be a delay before the funds settle.

Does the payment allow for lightning payments? Usually there’s a way to toggle this from an onchain address to a lightning invoice if you are paying a merchant. If you are trying to return funds to your own onchain wallet, I’d close your channel with mutiny.

No there is no lighting payment option. I have used lightning for a while with a few different wallets and have never had this issue. I’ll contact the mutiny guys and see what they say. Thanks!

You need to close the channel with mutiny to settle it on chain. Then you can make payment onchain when it settles
