nostr:npub13cnlldwfhwxd6qf34hnwlfya2m2qrd2zfk0alxnrup6d2fasw9wqxwkzpe had a watch tower. Should make things even easier if we were able to access that.

Not sure the watchtower is able to access commitment transactions unless a breach is detected. I run an lnd tower and a teos tower and let me just say, it's damn near impossible to understand much of anything that's being stored and it's a MASSIVE amount of info. Very gobbledygook, if you know what I mean. Easiest just to take the seeds from each dead node and use those to sign a transaction that splits the funds between the two parties.

Basically one node creates a psbt with one signature that has the split to the two destinations. Then the psbt is sent to the other party to sign and broadcast after reviewing the proposed split.

Never mind then. We will have a gentleman’s agreement.

Hit me up if you need help when the time comes and I'll be happy to provide it. The tools you'll need are these and they can be a bit confusing but are very powerful for this kind of stuff.

Thanks mate.

Also if you have funds missing from your onchain wallet when your force closes get confirmed the sweepremoteclosed command from chantools is something you may need to do as well. With your node being offline sometimes when the other side force closes and your node isn't alive, funds can languish in sweep addresses that your main three pubkeys won't pick up. So don't despair if that happens, that one is fairly easy to do.

I'll shut up now about it, lol 🤓

No man! All of this is helpful.

They say we have a snow storm this weekend. Perfect timing to tinker with “home” improvements projects.

do you have any resources on how to use chantools i think i have funds somewhere that ive been trying to access for a while now and chantools sounds like a solution

You can get compiled binaries here. They have them for Linux/Mac/Windows. There's some ok explanations in the git too. You can just download the binary and then run the chantools from the terminal of whatever OS you're using.
