Hey @ZEUS, would it work if I tried restoring my old LND instance using the embedded mainnet option on Zeus? And if that’s possible, what recovery data would I need to make it happen?

You can easily do it if you have no open channels. Otherwise it’s tricky. No way to preserve the channels presently.
Attempted the mainnet restoration but the node has been stuck at 1% recovery for over an hour. How should I go about this?

Do you have your old channel db?
Really, as long as the channels have been closed out by the other parties, you can restore all funds within ZEUS using seed recovery + chantools (Menu > Embedded Node > Advanced)
The sweepremoteclosed feature from chantools helped me recover some on-chain funds, but since the wallet recovery hasn’t fully synced, I’m not sure if I’ve recovered everything yet.
Recovery mode is still stuck at 1.6%, even after setting up a fresh wallet instance. It causes the server to hang on startup and prevents peer connections. So far, Zeus has been the most helpful wallet in this process, but I think the default configs could use some tuning for recovery scenarios.
Thanks again for the great tools.
Yeah, we need users to be able to choose Neutrino peers before doing a recovery.
Right now you likely need to audit those peers under Embedded Node > Peers > Neutrino and then trigger a rescan on the Advanced menu
I managed to recover my on-chain balance despite the node's failure to fully sync. I also had channels open to Olympus too and I think there might still be some balance there. I DMed you my node ID so you can check or try closing the channel since I don’t have any backup on my end.
