Trying to rescue 4 closed channels from my corrupted CLN database. After looking at the source code for core lightning… yup, those funds aren’t moving for awhile. Going to need to figure out how to sign a transaction manually. I hope the data is in this broken database somewhere.
I came across another person in the support channel with the same issue. Sounds like we should help fund some dev time to create a rescue utility.
Managed to get all my lightning node channels closed back on chain even with a corrupt database… now just have to figure out how to get CLN to find those on chain funds. I swear the only way I learn about blockchain is to literally end up breaking everything I touch and then figuring out how to get the pieces back together. I should find a better way to learn and avoid these issues, but I don’t know what I’d do with all my extra time. (Wife glaring at me…)
Sigh. Core lightning crashed the other day. Seems related to the fact that I set a “rescan” around the same time due to some odd logs. Devs are helping… but SQLite database appears corrupted to CLN, but perfectly fine to SQLite. I’m guessing some gremlin might be in that rescan process — or perhaps my incredibly slow hardware is again to fault. Next time I get this thing working, I’m moving to a dedicated Intel NUC10 i7 with a fast nvme hosting btcpayserver instead of this ancient synology NAS running a Frankenstein docker mix.
Adding a -10% price alert in TradingView against TSMC 2330 stock as a doomsday alarm to book the next flight out of China. Only the paranoid survive (funny that Intel’s ex-CEO coined that phrase)
