A year later i still havent figured out where those sats went. Sent open channel transaction on Blixt, app froze. Reset. Boom sats gone. Ive recovered wallet with same keys and nada. No import of key will work, scan onchain sees the send but no receive. Just 1.5M sats sitting in a bc1q address taunting me forever as a consequence of temporary panic and impatience.

Self custodial lightning is so frustrating. I feel your pain, I've had zaps get locked up unable to be recieved, I can only hope the senders get their sats back.
You know anyone who can help explain funds recovery. From what i can see funds were sent to a P2WSH address. I have the keys to the wallet that initiated the tx. But for the life of me i cant figure out how to access the funds. Original intent was to open ln channel, app crashed had to recover wallet with seed. Btc was spent and i cant touch it. It has not moved since that day #asknostr #lightning

Self custodial mobile Lightning is frustrating until you try out Valet Bitcoin wallet. Experience an actual lightweight lightning node on mobile, no LSP intermediaries. Built with immortan library. Backup on Valet are of two types: - Seed phrase only (With seed phrase only, if you had a Lightning channel open before trying the recovery, your Lightning channel connections will not be restored. They'll be force closed and returned to your wallet) - Seed Phrase + Recovery file (As soon as you set up a Lightning connection on Valet, a recovery file is created and saved in your downloads folder in your device. During recovery, you simply choose this option and all your Lightning channels will be recovered. This file often saves your last channel state and channel info, helping seamless recovery and boosting confidence in using Lightning on mobile) Yes, we designed Valet, and it is completely open-sourced. Here: Valet (Also available on F-Droid, and coming soon on Zaptsore)

Check out Valet Bitcoin wallet, a self-custodial Bitcoin/Lightning wallet we built (forked from the original Simple Bitcoin Wallet which no longer supports lightning, actually). Valet houses an actual lightweight Lightning node, with a robust backup file that saves in your devices as soon as you open a lightning channel. This backup file + your recovery phrase ensures that you enjoy actual self-custodial Lightning usage on mobile with confidence. Valet was built with the immortan library, a mobile-focused lightning network stack. Long talk cut short, check it out: GitHub:
