Finally an update on Silent Payments: block-dn.org now serves pre-calculated per-transaction tweak data that helps SP recipients scan the chain faster for inbound payments. With this, testing will be easier and I'll be able to pick up SP send support in lnd again soon.
If one of the nodes still have an intact database, yes. But it happens more often than you‘d think that two nodes that have a channel both screw up.
we did some zap tests on this note… we made six attempts to⚡zap this note, at tip@ln.guggero.org, over a period of 4 minutes. six of the zaps were successfully paid... please check for 6 satoshis received. problem: we found that your lightning address server **did not* properly produce zap receipts, and/or didn't send the zap receipts to the relays specified in the zap. (the zap spec requires that the zap receipts be sent to the relays specified in the zap.) this means a nostr user who zaps you might not see a number appearing next to the ⚡ icon after zapping.... if you wanted to fix this... you could try getting a free rizful lightning address -- https://rizful.com ... if u get it set up, pls reply here so we can do this ⚡zap test again.
Thanks a lot for testing! I think I fixed this issue now, would you mind testing again? Thx!
Don't know how to recover a zombie Lightning Channel?
Check out the new interactive guide for chantools:

I've fixed a bug and added 300 more ancient channels from ln2me.
Make sure to run the latest version (v0.13.7), especially if you got an error when trying before!
https://github.com/lightninglabs/chantools/releases/tag/v0.13.7 nostr:note1uxdp32ap48g6hsg3he424yfflz8g4dn3qt8tnl9d9gxqschnzvfsclzf7n
PSA: If you ever had channels with LNBIG in the early days (2018-2021), read this!
If you think you still have sats in such channels that you couldn't recover (e.g. your node broke down, no channel backup), there now might be a way.
You only require your seed.
Try running `chantools sweepremoteclosed` on the latest version (v0.13.6): https://github.com/lightninglabs/chantools/releases/tag/v0.13.6
There are over 2.5k channels and over 10 BTC unspent! Big thanks to LNBIG for providing the data necessary and MrDonty for the idea/initiative.
Please RT for visibility!
More info on how to run the command:

We’re adding HD root key export to nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 so you can import your on-chain wallet directly into Sparrow and other apps
Cool! But please add a warning that channel funding transactions should never ever be RBFed! That‘s the main thing users tend to screw up when exporting lnd‘s keys to another wallet
I can now be zapped as well ⚡️😎
