Lost channel backup and peers force closed channel

[vicalrez]

Hi, I lost my channel backup and reinstall my node with my 24 seed. I connected my peers abd let them know about the status of my node, they force closed the channels but, one monts later I saw the closed transtation already happened in the menpool but, I still my funds back on chain. There is something I can do?

You can use chantools sweepremoteclosed. Or, depending on the type of the channels, you might need to pull the anchors first using chantools pullanchor. Need more info to say more though.

Can you copy paste the transaction IDs please? I'm not going to type those from a screenshot.

You should be able to use the chantools sweepremoteclosed command mentioned above. Just download chantools from here: https://github.com/lightninglabs/chantools/releases/tag/v0.12.1 (make sure to pick the correct version for your operating system and hardware). You can run it on whatever computer you want, it doesn't need to run on Umbrel. The tool will just ask you for your seed and then do its work.

You'd want to run this command:

chantools sweepremoteclosed --feerate 75 --publish --sweepaddr <insert_address_from_your_wallet_here_where_funds_should_go_to>

It worked. Thank you so much.
