🆘️My Umbrel node is trying to force close channels for almost one month. They are still shown as CLOSING. About 3 channels closed after 5 days but I still have 4 channels which are not closing. 2000USD in the limbo
Here is a channel pub key
0298f6074a454a1f5345cb2a7c6f9fce206cd0bf675d177cdbf0ca7508dd28852f
Can I somehow increase the fee? If yes, how? 👸🏼🍑
🆘️
Install and connect Zeus LN wallet to your node and go to the channels (from Zeus) and force close with RPF (set higher fee, prefered to be top fee to be sure)
The channels where set to close when I reinstalled the umbrel node. The closing channels do not show up in the Zeus wallet
Hello Terminator, finally I got Zeus Working via LIGHTNING NODE CONNECT.
I can see the closing connections and the funding transaction
Very nice!
Where can I see any the closing transaction?
It’s in the Activity view.
Go to the Balance view (bottom left corner on the main nav), and press or slide up on the ^ caret on the bottom of the page
Thanks for helping, but it does not show closing transactions in the ACTIVITY VIEW. It only shows closed and finalized transactions. (Red Marked)
Lets not give up please! I need this money to pay my university bills
Reboot LND and it should do a rebroadcast of those transactions, hopefully. Then you can bump them. Make sure to go high on the fee rate.
Zeus won’t scan my node configuration and it’s not recognizing when I enter everything manually. If I ever get my SATs back I’m done with nodes. Or at least I’m done with umbrel.
Yeah, apparently the LN node itself on Umbrel is not to be used to add or remove or do anything other than basic monitoring. I’ve tried blue wallet which never worked, Muun wallet actually let me send sats from my ZBD wallet to be able to send them to my Node then tried using RTL but had already FUBAARed my node with it’s interface.
The fees might be too low for the tx to even show up in the currently congested mempool. Check if there is a closing transaction in the mempool for these channels first.
Tried already. Thundrhub does not show the closing channels.
How can I figure out the closing transaction ID?
If you know how the ssh into your umbrel you can use lncli command... Otherwise I use the Ride The Lightning app on Umbrel. You can see closing channels on there and the funding transaction.
From the funding transaction you can see in mempool.space if there is a closing transaction for the 3M multisig address and with what fees.
There are some predictions the mempool might be emptying a bit this week, so hopefully fees will go lower and this will help with closing channels.
I tried to install RTL but need core lighting node for this. Installed it but it showes up like another node without any channels. 😔
? There is LND version of RTL as well on umbrel appstore..
Found it!!!! Channels are empty?
You used a backup? It might not know the balance in the channels... Why did you force close? These peers seem to be online just fine...
I used the Umbrel Backup Channel function. Umbrel forced closed all channels automatically. 4 channels got closed others not. But maybe there where no money inside the channels thats why there is no transaction id? Going to load another backup from a different date
Found the LND version of RTL. Closing transaction not found in the GUI 🫤
Assuming you run LND

PS Umbrel sucks and should never touch anything Lightning.
Yes, LND running
