Closeing a account

[rtbit]

I was trying to close a account under Lightning Pool, it now say pending close.
BUT I got a error message up in the right corner, when I selected close account. It say I did not have high enought fee to create transaction. But I did not get any way to change the fee after that.
And it now only say pending close, and it seeams my funds is zeroed out.

It is linked to a transaction the does not not exist.

Have I lost my funds?? How do I get my funds back?

[guggero]

Can you post your account's trader_key here please? It isn't shown in the UI (@jamaljsr it would be quite helpful if we could show this somewhere for debugging puprposes), you'll need to use the CLI: https://github.com/lightninglabs/lightning-terminal/blob/master/doc/config-lnd-remote.md#example-pool-command

[rtbit]

Thanks for answering, i need to get everyting step buy step, for this is new to me. I run this on a Raspberry Pi, with the Umbrel setup. https://getumbrel.com/
I have not tried to connect to the NODE without the GUI interface for Umbrel and the different apps, like Lightning Terminal, with the Pool beta... It is installed trough the Umbrel store in the GUI.

Hi @rtbit, I have an Umbrel node setup, so I can provide the steps to obtain your trader_key.

1. SSH into the Umbrel node. The password is the same one you use to login to the Umbrel website

   ssh umbrel@umbrel.local
   

   This command works on Mac & Linux. If you are using a Windows computer, you'll need to use an app like PuTTY to SSH into the Umbrel node.

2. Once logged in, your terminal prompt should say umbrel@umbrel:~ $
3. Run bash inside the lightning-terminal docker container

   docker exec -it lightning-terminal_web_1 bash
   

4. When inside the container, your terminal prompt should say bash-5.1$
5. Run the pool CLI command to list your accounts

   pool --rpcserver=localhost:8443 --tlscertpath=~/.lit/tls.cert --macaroonpath=~/.pool/mainnet/pool.macaroon accounts list
   

6. It will output your account information, such as

   {
    "accounts": [
    	{
    		"trader_key": "026b7447973b79e8eaf79258c104b716a8107eedeeb25e484616daf001cf24bba3",
    		"outpoint": "5b09744a8a4ab8e31eabd1e14ce7de9c434dedf13ab9fe6b27bd2ab807276f04:0",
    		"value": 5381514,
    		"available_balance": 5381514,
    		"expiration_height": 1906780,
    		"state": "EXPIRED",
    		"latest_txid": "5b09744a8a4ab8e31eabd1e14ce7de9c434dedf13ab9fe6b27bd2ab807276f04"
    	}
    ]
   }
   

7. The trader_key value is what @guggero is asking for. Copy and paste that into this issue.

To quit the SSH session, just enter the exit command twice.

[jamaljsr]

(@jamaljsr it would be quite helpful if we could show this somewhere for debugging puprposes)

I agree. It should be displayed in the Account section. I'll create a PR.

[jamaljsr]

#191 adds the trader key to the account section in the UI

@guggero
Finally i got it...

{
"accounts": [
{
"trader_key": "025eee6a194ce5fcd0fde92adf8e67df243673361288b011c38441bfcfdcfd5502",
"outpoint": "aae77c65563a841182a3ec334d0282003297d16d5507ea1cab6aa6fcfd0545e6:1",
"value": 0,
"available_balance": 0,
"expiration_height": 671748,
"state": "PENDING_CLOSED",
"latest_txid": "07e1b61c00b39e58d0cad67ac903c74d43bd7d32d11307fe9ac266b3fb6c6c3b"
}
]

[rtbit]

I see now that it is sent to the mempool... It was not before.

[guggero]

Restarting lnd (or LiT) will re-broadcast the transaction. That's probably why it's appearing now.
Though this probably won't confirm any time soon with 1 sat/vByte. You can try lncli wallet bumpfee --sat_per_byte 15 07e1b61c00b39e58d0cad67ac903c74d43bd7d32d11307fe9ac266b3fb6c6c3b:0 to get it in.

Closing this as the chosen fee rate was just too small.

[rtbit]

I just did not understad what I was doing. Trying out new services. I guess that is waht testnet is for....

So where du i run this command? @guggero
lncli wallet bumpfee --sat_per_byte 15 07e1b61c00b39e58d0cad67ac903c74d43bd7d32d11307fe9ac266b3fb6c6c3b:0

Need step buy step,
I guess i need to ssh in...
than log on... (number 2. in @jamaljsr guide) ...
but then what?

[guggero]

Try replacing the command of step 5 above with:

lncli --rpcserver=localhost:8443 --tlscertpath=~/.lit/tls.cert --macaroonpath=/lnd/data/chain/bitcoin/admin.macaroon wallet bumpfee --sat_per_byte 15 07e1b61c00b39e58d0cad67ac903c74d43bd7d32d11307fe9ac266b3fb6c6c3b:0

[rtbit]

@guggero Tried it now... Got his error.

[lncli] could not load global options: unable to read macaroon path (check the network setting!): open /lnd/data/chain/bitcoin/admin.macaroon: no such file or directory

[guggero]

You might need to look around for the correct path. I'm not sure how the file system looks of an Umbrel. Try find / -name admin.macaroon to launch a search.

[jamaljsr]

On Umbrel, the lnd node is running inside of a different container than LiT. So instead of running bash in the LiT container, you'll need to run lncli in the lnd container.

Try running these commands instead of step 3 above:

cd ~/umbrel
docker-compose exec lnd lncli wallet bumpfee --sat_per_byte 15 07e1b61c00b39e58d0cad67ac903c74d43bd7d32d11307fe9ac266b3fb6c6c3b:0

[rtbit]

So did not get any confirmation, but i guess it did something, since it took some seconds, and did not give errors....
Hope this helps. I keep you posted if it worked.

Thanks a lot for the help @guggero and @jamaljsr, could not have doen anything with this without your help. Love the open source community. I probably should learn Linux....
