Anyone familiar with BTCPay server and running Lightning nodes?

Seems about 500k Sats are held up / went missing or not showing on the node, but BTCPay server still shows it?

I seem to recall sometimes the balance dips, but never had 500k dip for this long?

can it be possibly something related to active channel management

Maybe so, I didn’t change anything recently, maybe the way one of my peers is managing something?

i am learner - it is most challenging part of LN administrator - that where i start to dig n learn.

You can have in-flight payments, or its just the channel reserve

Doesn’t the server have its own Lightning node? Are you connected to another one?

It does, no, just the ride the lightning node. Looking at it now, all the ā€˜local balance’ adds up, but some nodes are ā€˜inactive ’ making me think that might be it?

I guess it should route through the other channels though?

I Must say I still can’t receive any transactions bc I have little inbound capacity. Therefore I am using someone else his BTCpayServer. For that reason Lightning payments would end up in his/her wallet but I circumvented that with some setting on that BTCpayServer.

Yep, I turned off ā€˜use local lightning node’ for others using btcpay.nostr.build, some may have had their payments go to the community node, ha!

Aaah you’re the best and I am subservient. Hope you get it fixed soon!

Are you running LND or Core Lightning? Can you compare the results with what you get from the direct Lightning API? (by running the commands below in the BTCPay Server directory)

For LND we get those stats via the channelbalance command:

./bitcoin-lncli.sh channelbalance

For Core Lightning it's listfunds:

./bitcoin-lightning-cli.sh listfunds

I assume RTL and BTCPay Server account differently for the separate types of funds that might be in HTLCs that are processing.
