I've had a small Lightning channel of 1M sats closing for MONTHS. I can't bump it. There's only 10K sats on my side, so I don't really care. I decided to go back through old Plebnet chats and found the node owner. He didn't know he had 990,000 sats sitting there in limbo 😮 His node is dead because of hardware issues. I showed him the nostr:nprofile1qqsrk63a8wentzpk5ex3eqpf9wtww6vwcddzuh9y2800567n4ulwhpqpzdmhxue69uhhqatjwpkx2urpvuhx2ue0532llr Accelerator. He's going to get his sats back! 🫂💜🤙🏻


Every absentee Lightning node runner needs a Derek. 👊🫂⚡


You’re such a good person. Thanks for all you do.


I still don't understand all this lightning channel stuff. 😅

But that's pretty rad that he'll be able to recover his sats


Reminds me of one of the bigger channels I had the guy running it refunded my fees for opening a channel with him and also taught me  how to manage fees properly.


It's only a pain in the ass when things go sideways 😂 But yes, I'm glad I found him.


Hah. Yeah, I've been watching this channel hoping it closes, but the fee is 1 sat/vbyte.


Awesome.


Lowest we hit was 2 or 3 right?


I've seen 2.


very nice of you 🙂


there like 100000 transaction at 1.7 sats/vbyte 😅


Damn. That's a pretty large wall 😂


so he had to close the channel to get it?  or just renewed it?


Thank me I closed all channels couple of months ago before my node crashes!!!


I have this problem. What should I do?


Litecoin, BCH & Monero don't have this problem. Just saying.
