Purge fee was 15 s/b. I attempted to open a channel for 9 s/b.

Lnd showed it as pending to open but transaction was not present in my local mempool nor in public mempool.

Error in local bitcoin core that transaction fee was below purge fee.

After 3 months the channel opening expiry time was showing a negative value suggesting it would never open.

I couldn't identify utxo associated with the channel opening.

I ended up abandoning the channel 😱 not sure what happened to the sats... Hoping I didn't lose them.

Open tx has to confirm within two weeks or it’s invalid.

Abandonchan was prob fine as long as it wasn’t on block explorers. If you want to be extra safe spend the original funding output

Oh and you didn’t lose the sats. After abandonchan they should be reflected in your balance accurately
