So I'm testing out zues... I backed up my seed phrase, updated to the latest alpha build. But now my lightning sats are gone.
How do I import my 24 words in zuess? I don't see the option...?!
I tried importing those words to a different wallet but the lightning sats aren't showing there...
What am I doing wrong? Assuming I should have backed up my channels too? Are those sats lost?
nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 I had sats on the previous build that did not have the built in node (i think v0.8.0...tho i dont think it displayed a build # or alpha #). A channel was opened when I deposited lightning sats and then I upgraded right after. Dumb move I know but what's done is done.
Is there a path to recovery? All I have from the old wallet/previous build is a seed phrase...
Thanks, I was able to restore my wallet with this, but I don't know if there's a way to force close the open channel or anything from your end to recover onchain?
I can't recover the lightning channel from my side since I didn't back it up. I have some backups available but restoring them did nothing (probably saved before I deposited my sats).
There are auto backups by default. Go to channels and toggle the header to see if it shows up under pending. Restore triggers force closes
I see an auto backup that was saved around the time I loaded in the funds but it must have been juuust before I opened the channel because restore didn't do the trick. Hard to say because my wallet was empty until I loaded the sats then stupid me deleted the app and installed the apk just a few minutes after...
Are you running your own node on Umbrel or somewhere?
I'm not sure what node was connected. I tried reconnecting unbrel but that's not the one. It might have been just one of their nodes.
I managed to restore the wallet but all the sats were in the lightning channels and I didn't back that up. It's likely they're gone :(
So after waiting for nearly 20 days, my unrecoverable channels finally force closed. Lost about 40k sats 🤮 but at least recovered the rest onchain. I wrote off the whole balance in my head so it's a nice little Thanksgiving miracle. One more thing to be thankful for!
