Nailed it πŸ˜‚πŸ’œ

Oh me me. I had switched from unbrel to raspiblitz and didn’t back up my channels properly. Then something went wrong and due to being a full-on retard i ended up wiping the node trying to fix it. I almost lost a lot of sats (in my book). Luckily, nostr:npub1m5mr8y7wgvcufav43hgda376xsm0t5qrerur30m23ek6w8gmn88q9hympt was very helpful and patient and devised a way to help me recover all the funds, including the taproot ones, which for a while seemed like they’d be toast. It involved blixt is all i can say. Thank god for friends and FOSS!

I was truly a pleasure helping you noBody! It made me very happy to get your sats back on chain for you safe and sound 🧑

Does force closure of Zeus embedded node (twice!) count as a node disaster ?

Depends on a total loss. Is it over 500K sats loss? πŸΆπŸΎπŸ«‚

The channel I had set up had 200k liquidity. Lost it twice. But no. Maybe 30k sats loss total. I didn’t leave much on there

It’s a good thing! This badge is kind of the one you don’t want to have. πŸΆπŸΎπŸ€£πŸ€£πŸ€£πŸ«‚

🀣🀣🀣

does the many force close in the last months count? πŸ€•πŸ’ΈπŸ’ΈπŸ’Έ

How much have you lost? Over 500K sats? πŸΆπŸΎπŸ«‚

in the last year probably yes

Tell us more, share a story please! πŸΆπŸΎπŸ«‚πŸ™πŸ»

mine wasn't too bad. i had an SD card die about 2 years ago. all i had to do was reflash Umbrel and i was back in business.

Not even channels closing? πŸΆπŸΎπŸ«‚

I don’t have this problem on other clients like Nostur and Amethyst.

Damus even shows my impostor before it gets to mine. Shouldn’t it prioritize my NIP-05 name over my display name?

there's an github issue made with that iirc

Link please. πŸ™

hmm, lemme search

i know i posted a big post about the same thing almost a month ago, and you were the cause of it, because:

1. the colon after "The" stops tagging completely

2. prioritisation of users when tagging should be based on WoT and then follower count

what a legend πŸ’œ

I once fucked up my lnd so bad, channels were gone and ded. I used chantools to trigger remote force close but fees were so high, had to wait 2 months for mempool to clear. All because I changed harddisk to 4tb which didn't allow my 2tb to clone. Once mempool cleared I got all my sats back (minus fees).

Still waiting on my sats from my forced closed channels πŸ₯²

How much are you losing in that FC? πŸΆπŸΎπŸ«‘πŸ«‚

Close to a million sats on the three channels 😒 but the lesson was learned

Fun badge! ^.^

Only thing that I got burnt with is error messages and a crapton of documentation xD Oh and your LND node deciding to implode and destroying my one and only channel x)

mmm... spontaneous combustion was yesterday, spontaneous implosion sounds cooler. o.o

BTW thanks for pointing me to LN Server; channel's been working great!

How hard was it to make an β€œEpic” badge? Time to complete?

6-12h on MacBook Pro M1Max, single thread 🐢🐾🫑

That checks out with the lucky one i did on badges.page with a low nonce

javascript is not the way to go

An epic tail of how I almost ended up being forced (for lack of funds) to leave the lightning node running business:

Thank you!

For the record, I switched from LND to Core Lightning over a year ago and I'm much happier now.

I switched to Eclair, so far so good! Never LND again for me πŸΆπŸΎπŸ«‚πŸ«‘πŸ€£

Wow! The biggest node on the Lightning Network is an Eclair node so it's certainly capable. I went with CLN because I figured that there was good community support and because it's not LND. Never again!

Badges to those who helped rebuild your node? πŸ₯Ή

This is more for the victims of lightning bugs and disasters. I am still mining one for the ones who helped. πŸΆπŸΎπŸ«‚πŸ«‘
