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.

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?

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 @note1uxdp3...

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:

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 ⚡️😎
