How did it happen?

i sent 250000 sats to my node when the node said

it can now be funded. i sent it and i could see it on umbrel

the downloading of the umbrel version of bitcoin core made the computer crash. when it came up, the money was gone.

i can track my funding on mempool using the tx id and the funding address. it is one transaction to an unknown btc1 address. i have tried all 'tools' including chantools from oliver gugger the bitcoin developer. my funds are still stuck in this btc1 address which is not my umbrel address. umbrel does not respond

Sorry to hear that. Did the server’s specs caused the crash?

i do not know what caused the crash

bitcoin has 12-24 words as seed. but this is a different system than bitcoin. of course i kept the seed and thought i could restore using the seed. it is not possible. no one told me that. umbrel did not show the warning when i funded the node. only when i generated the seed umbrel told me that i had to save the seed words which i did of course.

lightning is a seperate network, has a seperate seed system, and it is centralized, has owners and 'management'. i find it very weird that now they even tell you that you can lose your money.

Sounds like a very unfortunate case of bitrot
