LN withdraw with Blue wallet?

[Pepe Lapiu]

Hey guys.
There is a problem with my LN channel on my Blue wallet.
For some reason since I updated the apps, it will no longer allow me to send LN payments of more than 2 Sat.
Every time I try, the following message is generated:

API error: LND failure (code 7)

I contacted the devs and they are no help.  
So I would like to withdraw the LN funds back on chain.
For withdraws,  the app redirects me to.this page: https://zigzag.io/?utm_source=integration&utm_medium=bluewallet&utm_campaign=withdrawLink#/

So what is my "BTC refund address or invoice"? Where do I find that?
And what is my "BTC blockchain address"? Where do I find that?

I don't have a lot of funds stuck in that channel. But that's all the BTC I have. And it's not mine. So I really would like to send it back to the guy who loaned me those funds.

Thanx

I googled the error code you receive in connection to Blue Wallet and got this result:
https://www.reddit.com/r/bluewallet/comments/arhel2/api_error/

It seems the user on reddit got rid of the error message by disabling the auto pilot option. Try it out and see if it works for you.

The problem seems to be related with your channel's liquidity. How much of your channel's funds are on your side? Keep in mind that you won't be able to receive more than the channel's value minus 2% of its total value. Spending a few satoshis should solve your problem.

I could not find any setting remotely close to 'auto pilot'.

My Blue wallet has 300,000 Sat on it's LN channel.
My Bitcoin Lightning wallet I am trying to send coin to has a LN channel with 309,000 Sat size and it can receive 278,309 Sat.

The guy who loaned me the coin to play around with also has a LN channel with at least 300,000 Sat.

But I am not able to make a payment with the Blue wallet for anything more than 2 Sat to anyone else, including my own Bitcoin Lightning Wallet.

I think there us a glitch in the system. So I would like to withdraw our of my Blue LN channel.and back on chain.

Your LN channel might be no remaining funds or offline.

I tried to find the solution about your issue in google and I found two possible sources of solutions to take your bitcoin out from the lightning network.

I don't know if this will work as I just search it from google.

Check these two links below.

My channel is online since I have been able to make payments out of it. But the payments can',t be more than 2 Satoshies or the error message pops up. And as per my previous message, there is sufficient funds in the channel to make bigger payments.

Unfortunately none of the links help me.  One is to recover a wallet if you loose your phone.  And the other is to bring a channel back online if the channel is lost.

My phone us not lost and my channel is online with sufficient funds in it.
What I would like to do is withdraw the funds from the channel back on chain.

The wallet allows me to do that. But when I click the withdraw feature, the wallet opens my browser to the following link: https://zigzag.io/?utm_source=integration&utm_medium=bluewallet&utm_campaign=withdrawLink#/

On that page, they ask for my "BTC refund address or invoice" and my "BTC blockchain address".
I don't know how to obtain either of these things. Do you?

Edit: I did find out what the BTC blockchain address is. They just want my public keys for the on chain wallet.
But I still don't know what they want for refund address or invoice.

An invoice is currently the only way to send coins to someone else over the Lightning Network (Sphinx is not widely available yet). You should be able to generate an invoice by accessing your Lightning Network wallet inside Blue wallet app, clicking Receive and filling up necessary information (satoshis to be received; description is optional). You can give them either your on-chain address or the invoice you generate with the method I described.
