I can't send any on chain transactions from my core lightning node on Start9. I always get an error. I've tried it in Zeus and the UI on the node.

I have sats in the onchain balance and nothing in lightning.

Any tips to sweep the funds to a different wallet?

All lightning seeds have reserve limits for potential channel closes (regardless if you have a channel open)

You will not be able to send funds out, unless;

- you enter the CLI and edit those limits

It's easier to just import that seed into another wallet and sweep funds from there

- best is Sparrow wallet, which allows to you see all depths/accounts the view your change addresses

This is a known and large problem imo and it has yet to be fixed. Many devs refuse to acknowledge this is a problem and will not "fix" it.

Best of luck to you

How do I view the seed words on Start9? It kind of sets everything up for you.

You should've received an option on your initial startup of your start9 to write down *any* seed phrases

If you do not have this, then I'm afraid you have lost access (for now) to those funds

I recommend reaching out to the start9 team on telegram to resolve your issue💜

Hey nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll,

May you guide this user & help resolve this issue ?

Thanks

Core lightning does not do this? https://docs.corelightning.org/docs/backup

So they don't make the seed words available. I'm working through this in the telegram chat.

LND exposes a seed phrase on first startup, but Core Lightning does not.
