How did i crash my nodes or why am i posting that i finally recovered almost everything?

I'm LND on Start9 and was messing around with apt packages against the warning flashing on screen as i did it. When I tried to reboot, it did not boot. I recovered from the backup and LBD force closed all channels but the full balance didnt appear. Also, the channels/peers were gone but I restored those from SCB. Still wasn't seeing expected balance so I restarted LND with reset-wallet , reloaded SCB and finally saw the remaining channels is pending close state. I reached out to the peers last night and one responded immediately. Now waiting for last peer or whatever natural process LND uses to close the channel.

I was in the same situation but worse (without SCB 😱) earlier this year.

By contacting each peer asking for a force-close and using chantools, I managed to recover the local balance of 5 of my 7 channels.

The remainder (about 50k sats) I give it as lost. It was a terrible experience.

Your anti-LND, pro C-lightning posts make more sense now 😂

I still use lnd 🤣 just because I couldn't find a lnurl (with zap support) + NWC setup that I liked on CLN.

The one tthing I did differently was to only have 2 large unannounced channels to well connected LSP nodes, and that's it. It's easier to manage. I get inbound liquidity using loop.
