Do you run your own node? If not we could experiment with the Uncle Jim model and I can 'host' your lightning wallet on my node. LMK if you would want to try.

Yes I have my own node. I just installed albyhub on it yesterday in an attempt to give it another shot and ended up buying a lightning channel I didn't need ( cuz my node already has them ) while clicking around to trying to figure it out.

today I got back on and noticed the email got on alby hub and confirmed my lightning channel wasn't there.

I restarted albyhub and noticed it finally detected my umbrel nodes channels properly but the closed channel I paid for was obviously not coming back.

That is a definite bummer.

when you close a channel, where do the sats go?

The ones on your side of the channel (the sats you own) get dumped into your lightning wallet’s on-chain bitcoin address.
