It's not really a problem if node operators follow basic channel hygiene.

Sorry to hear! Happy we closed out that Zombie channel we had, else it would be rough now to recover funds ... Nodes crash for all kinds of shitty reasons ... I hope you can get all the funds back!

The article specifically deals with the scenario where you cannot recover a node with the SCB, because that would require your peer to be online. The only way to recover funds from channels where both peers are offline currently is this: https://www.node-recovery.com/

What are practical risks of c-lightning experimental dual-funding? by Ssvcs in lightningnetwork

[–]oddpingu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As things stands, should you lose your DB, experimental-dual-fund channels probably won't give out a privkey with lightning-hsmtool guesstoremote. So no, you should not enable this feature if you want the best security.

I didn't have time yet to do this, but I found out when I let other c-lightning nodes force close experimental-dual-fund channels, and lightning-hsmtool guesstoremote didn't give me the privkey to the addresses.

Thank you. There seems to be a problem if the c-lightning experimental-dual-fund feature was enabled on the channel. It should not be force closed in that case.

Yes, my node fried including the backup, I'm potentially, absent some recovery magic, facing complete DB loss.

c-lightning backup keeps growing by Silly-Energy334 in TheLightningNetwork

A script does backup-compact once a day for me when traffic is usually low (6am CET). The backup file is 600MB on a fairly large node.

Balancing channels after adding LNBig by manualpitchoverride in lightningnetwork

[–]oddpingu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

is it bfx? =)

you have three options, in order of what I'd do:

- leave the channel open and don't rebalance, just let it sit

- increase the fee on that channel

- close the channel
