Hello, if someone wants to open a channel with me, what info does he need from me (node id, pub key?) and where do i get that info in electrum?
|

What happens if a closing channel tx is not confirmed and after 2 weeks the nodes drop the tx? The channel state changes to OPEN again?

I was reading your guide again, and got two doubts, first one:
- Lightning funds cannot be restored from seed. You need to perform backups ('File -> Save backup'). You have to make a new backup every time you open a new channel. Backups will forcefully close channels,
That means that if I backup a new channel, all other channels will be force-closed? And the second one: if the funding transaction gets confirmed after 24 hours, channel will not be created but funds will be locked/lost? I mean, how does the mempool knows that this transaction is for opening a channel, and that after 24 hours is not going to be valid/useful? Can a transaction auto-remove itself from the mempool after a period of time? I don't know if this is a crazy question...  |

I searched this node on 1ml.com and it only have my channel open, that's why my payments didn't found a path... So, now i want to close this channel, but whats the difference between "Close channel" and "Force-close channel"? |

Yes, I used a suggested node from Electrum, so im asumming that node has enough liquidity... I think i din not make a mistake following the post above, i read twice before starting, and followed it when i was doing it Electrum... One of the channels I already had in Phoenix has enough inbound capacity... I'm getting a different error when the receiver's inbound capacity isn't enough, so it can't be the other party's inbound capacity:  I second BitCryptex's first guess, " Payment Failed. No path found" is most likely an issue with your channel's remote node's liquidity. And I've been getting that error in testnet before when I have only one channel, probably because not all of the suggested nodes are reliable. Yes, im thinking its the remote node problem, i'll try opening another channel with one of ACINQ's node... i'll let you know how that goes... Which other nodes do you recommend? Thanks for your time and answers! |

Hello, i have enable Lightning on Electrum following your steps, channel is Open, but i cant send using Lightning, i have tried sending to 3 different wallets (BLW, Phoenix and Wallet of Satoshi) and all 3 give me the "Payment Failed. No path found" error. What could it be? How can I solve this issue?
Maybe you have change amount/base unit btc into sat at preference. I'll switch to sats and let you know if it was that silly detail... |

Either the node with which you opened a channel is badly connected or there aren't any nodes with enough liquidity to route your payment. You might have made a mistake from the post above. If you didn't specify the node manually when opening the channel then Electrum should have suggested a well-connected node. I am not sure about BlueWallet and Wallet of Satoshi since they are custodial wallets, but channels created using the Phoenix wallet definitely do not have any inbound capacity by default. You will have to spend some of your coins before attempting to receive to it. That's also the case for Eclair Mobile.
