That's correct, don't give up if there are sats to be saved. The one thing about recovery from seed is you need to be able to have a dialogue, somehow, with your channel partner and be able to agree on how to split the funds in that 2 of 2 multisig

Good thing. The #nodestriches is one hell of a group!
I should have the seed phrase somewhere. (Dear God help me if I don't).
I've had this node die on my before in somewhat similar circumstances and was able to fix it so I'm hoping when I actually have the time I can revive it. Nows the time though, I hear fees are lowish.
Fees are great, if you compare main with the 300+ sats/vB just last month.
Best to get your ducks in a row and figure things like how you want to split it, where you want the funds to go, make sure you have the seeds and passphrase, and maybe familiarize yourself with chantools. The good thing is like and address that holds funds. They ain't going anywhere until the two people with keys move them. The channels from dead nodes that recovered a month ago were from nodes that got nukes in May '23
Bitcoin is unreal. 🧡
nostr:npub13cnlldwfhwxd6qf34hnwlfya2m2qrd2zfk0alxnrup6d2fasw9wqxwkzpe had a watch tower. Should make things even easier if we were able to access that.
Not sure the watchtower is able to access commitment transactions unless a breach is detected. I run an lnd tower and a teos tower and let me just say, it's damn near impossible to understand much of anything that's being stored and it's a MASSIVE amount of info. Very gobbledygook, if you know what I mean. Easiest just to take the seeds from each dead node and use those to sign a transaction that splits the funds between the two parties.
Basically one node creates a psbt with one signature that has the split to the two destinations. Then the psbt is sent to the other party to sign and broadcast after reviewing the proposed split.
Never mind then. We will have a gentleman’s agreement.
Hit me up if you need help when the time comes and I'll be happy to provide it. The tools you'll need are these and they can be a bit confusing but are very powerful for this kind of stuff.
Thanks mate.
Also if you have funds missing from your onchain wallet when your force closes get confirmed the sweepremoteclosed command from chantools is something you may need to do as well. With your node being offline sometimes when the other side force closes and your node isn't alive, funds can languish in sweep addresses that your main three pubkeys won't pick up. So don't despair if that happens, that one is fairly easy to do.
I'll shut up now about it, lol 🤓
No man! All of this is helpful.
They say we have a snow storm this weekend. Perfect timing to tinker with “home” improvements projects.
do you have any resources on how to use chantools i think i have funds somewhere that ive been trying to access for a while now and chantools sounds like a solution
You can get compiled binaries here. They have them for Linux/Mac/Windows. There's some ok explanations in the git too. You can just download the binary and then run the chantools
