Close Lightning channel before is was signed and lost btc #9005
Comments
You probably need to bump the fee on the opening transaction, and then once it has opened, wait for the remote node to force close the then-open channel (since you already requested that). What's the transaction ID for that channel-open transaction? |
Wtf??. You could just wait or doublespend/cancel opening tx. Good luck sweeping commitment in post-halving/runes garbage clogged mempool.. |
At least with Electrum, the commitment transaction doesn't need to be swept by the party that didn't force-close, as that output goes directly back to a normal wallet address. So if you request the remote node to force-close your channel, you will get your channel balance back directly, so sweep needed. |
I recently tried to open a lightning channel in my Electrum wallet, I put the maximum available value (all my btc) and by mistake I put a very low completion fee. To try to change the fee value and thus speed up the verification, I closed the channel (forced closure), before it was signed and opened.
Now all my values have disappeared, the channel is as “REQUESTED_FCLOSE”, there is no channel ID, but the app shows the balance of the BTC that I selected.
I would like to know what I can do to recover my BTCs
