Is it possible to bump a fee rate on a channel I force closed in LND? The fee rate is sitting at 16 sats/vbyte, so who knows when we might see fees get that low again.

This was a channel I had opened to a buddy who had just started running his node and I wanted to help him out with some inbound liquidity, but his node went down last year and he lost interest in trying to get it running again, so I finally decided to force closed the channel after several months.

This is on my Umbrel, if that helps.

You might be able to use the fee accelerator on mempool.space

I’ve never used it before and it looks a bit pricey compared to actual fee rates, but if you really need to get the channel settled it should do the job

You can attempt to CPFP (child pays for parent). It also depends if the channel is an anchor channel, if you are both LND hopefully it is.

It just means spending one of the unconfirmed UTXOs that you received from the channel close to yourself with a high fee so the average fee rate of both transactions are increased.
