I reset my Node - Question about log in / participating in swap
Hi. I recently shut down my node, withdrew funds, and completely wiped it clean. I started it back up, RTL and TH are completely 0/0/0/0 now. My closed channels are all gone and set back to 0. I noticed my Alias is still WJF3 like it previously had. My TOR address, TH, and RTL site/PW is all the same as well.
Now - I tried to Log out of LightningNetwork+, and sign in with my Node signature, (Instead of email like I've always done) I am seeing the failure message "Sorry, Your signature can't be processed. Please try again or contact us if you need help"
- Is this because I already have an account on the this website with my Node ID registered to it and there is no need to Sign/Verify? *** If i try to participate in a swap, will the other participants receive my proper channel info? It looks like I have a completely different Lightning Address now than I did before**
Basically 3/4 of my channels went offline last month, and all started force closing one by one due to 'stuck' HTLCs It's supposedly with the LND code itself, and routing nodes being completely TOR reliant. it's something developers need to put their heads together to resolve.

I had like 33 of my 38 Channels force close in a weeks time, and then I decided to close the remaining ones out of immense disappointment. https://community.getumbrel.com/t/killing-off-my-node-so-long-lnd-for-now/8298
I have now installed and migrated from Umbrel to Citadel. Disgusted with a dirty record of 40 Closed Channels, I wanted to Wipe my Node completely Clean for if & when decide to come back after (hopefully) some improvements are made within the system. I did this by:
I tried again to Sign / Verify with both RTL and TH. I keep getting this Message: Do you think you can delete me account so I can create a new one? Screen Shot 2022-06-27 at 3.22.49 PM.png77.5 KB
I'm eager to help. I think this problem has nothing to do with your node or account. The only problem is that you don't have a channel with anyone yet, so the gossip network sees your node as inactive. Once you have at least one active channel and you can see that your node profile shows that channel, you will be able to login with your node without a problem.
