I've had a small Lightning channel of 1M sats closing for MONTHS. I can't bump it. There's only 10K sats on my side, so I don't really care. I decided to go back through old Plebnet chats and found the node owner. He didn't know he had 990,000 sats sitting there in limbo 😮 His node is dead because of hardware issues. I showed him the nostr:nprofile1qqsrk63a8wentzpk5ex3eqpf9wtww6vwcddzuh9y2800567n4ulwhpqpzdmhxue69uhhqatjwpkx2urpvuhx2ue0532llr Accelerator. He's going to get his sats back! 🫂💜🤙🏻

Every absentee Lightning node runner needs a Derek. 👊🫂⚡️
I still don't understand all this lightning channel stuff. 😅
But that's pretty rad that he'll be able to recover his sats
It's only a pain in the ass when things go sideways 😂 But yes, I'm glad I found him.
Reminds me of one of the bigger channels I had the guy running it refunded my fees for opening a channel with him and also taught me how to manage fees properly.
Awesome.
very nice of you 🙂
so he had to close the channel to get it? or just renewed it?
Thank me I closed all channels couple of months ago before my node crashes!!!
I have this problem. What should I do?
Litecoin, BCH & Monero don't have this problem. Just saying.
