What do you mean by that Chris? Can you be more specific? You can always move off-chain - on-chain. E.g closing channels, looping out etc.

I recently accumulated sats on my Umbrel Lightning Node (noncustodial wallet) and when I tried to move the sats to my Umbrel Onchain Wallet in preparation of opening a lightning channel, I couldn’t do it. I tried using Zeus and it sent preexisting onchain funds to myself. Then tried with directly on my Umbrel and got and error saying the onchain address wasn’t a good address. Maybe I did something wrong, but the only way I could move Onchain was

to move through another lighting wallet. I used Strike to accomplish this. I had posted a Note about it this hoping someone would point out my error, but no one did. Have you done this? I thought it should be possible.

You need to loop out of Lightning via Loop or Boltz or you can just close a channel with funds on your side. Either of these actions will put sats back on-chain. I do this often. I use Thunderhub to do it. I use Boltz via Thunderhub. I also have used peerswap, but this is more advanced and more technical. Let me know if you need help doing a swap.

Thanks Derek but as far as my tech skills go, these funds were just sitting on my Bitcoin wallet on my Umbrel, i just sent them to my WOS and went through, they are still pending while multiple confirmations occurred from WOS side.

Thanks Derek, someone from the Umbrel Telegram group mentioned I should have used Thunderhub as well. I should have asked for help instead

of assuming it couldn’t be done. I’ll check this out for future use 🤙🏻

Id advise aginst thinderhub. They collet and sell your node data via amboss.

Totally agree with nostr:npub18ams6ewn5aj2n3wt2qawzglx9mr4nzksxhvrdc4gzrecw7n5tvjqctp424 on this

You can loop-out from the channel or you can rebalance.

I use bolts for loop out and ride the lightning for rebalance. Thunderhub is a good option when it comes to managing lightning node and opening/closing channels.
