He i have to open my channel to Slickerion. Right? This is my first swap

---

That's correct 👍

---

Ok and now thats it or must we do anything?

---

Thank you all!

Anyone know if how this rebalancing that LN+ recommends can be done in c-lightning?
I saw instructions for LND RTL, but in Clightning RTL don't see it.

---

@Bitcoinsammler Now we wait for channels to open, and make sure fees are set in them so that others might use them.

---

Hmm its pending from d to me. how long it will be take?

---

You can get tx id and put it in mempool.space to see how.

---

*to see how long will take. There is channel open tx in your interface somewhere.

---

i have use rtl ... there is no possibility to see this

---

I also have RTL. In mine it's under:
Lightning > Peers > Channels > Action button for your channel > View Info > Show Advanced > Funding Transaction ID

---

@Bitcoinsammler I use Thunderhub but I assume for RTL it will be under Peers/Channels -> Pending

---

@SLICKERIRON I think lncli is lnd

---

yes but the channel opening from HoernchenLightning is in pending and not completed

---

@Bitcoinsammler That's okay. If you paste the txid into mempool.space you will be able to see approximately how long it will take to complete.

---

sry but i can not see any txid only the status pending. im ambused it will take seconds to slickerion but not in my direction

---

The amount of time it takes depends on the amount of on-chain fees that was paid when creating the channel. The mempool is busy right now so the fees are high. Could be that D set a low fee when opening the channel so that's why it's taking a while. But since you can see that the channel is pending there is nothing to worry about. Alternatively you can try to find the txid in Thunderhub.

---

ok now i have thunderhub installed..there i can see txid e7cf7eabe1c12819064175c7e41e7b8c7eeee3f62073396cefae5c818bea841d
but this node is inactive...whats going on

---

and why renamed slickeriron his alias in hodl.doctor?

---

my first try to do this here and it make me worry

---

Could be that HoernchenLightning is offline, I'm not really sure. Perhaps you can reach out to him via email or telegram.

---

If that tx id is the right one, perhaps did not broadcast for some reason.

SLICKERIRON was a random name that the install script assigned to our node. Now the real alias has propagated. The alias doesn't change the node pubkey, as far as I know.

---

hmm ok i will wait sometime...but could this the reason that is in status pending and not completed?

---

i am not offline-
my funding transaction somehow disappeared from the mempool, channel opening is still shown as pending.

i will restart lnd and reindex, i hope this will clear things up.

---

It seems from the profile here that D had some technical trouble this past week. Here and on 1ML seems to have a good reputation and communication.
Might be just trying to catch up.

---

Somehow my fee was rejected by the mempool:
unmatched backend error: -26: mempool min fee not met, 499 < 954
I am rescanning now to recover my balance and then open the channel again. If the one pending now does not disappear, i will abandon it after recovery of the funds.

---

Opened another channel: 3502ccf8b57ebb63c0335c352b1a87446fb8377e0b7c0b2835c2c220edbac4e9
I will try to find out, how to abandon the old channel still showing pending. There is no funding transaction for it.

---

ok now i can see a second pending from you and found it n mempool too. thx

---

I would suggest we wait a bit and see what happens to the other channel. If it stays pending for a few days, i wil manually abandon it. But rather as a means of last resort

---

ok now i can see it pending is completed. what is the next step?

---

Hmm looks like i cannot rebalance, my node says no channel E->A :-/

---

I have a channel with SLICKERIRON but his alias is now another one it is Hodl.Doctor

---

Mus i rebalance to A 1650000?

---

you should do it with a predefined route. for example on the commandline with the suggested command on the top of the page. or using the ignition script.
If you do it in RTL for example, you just set your incoming and outgoing channels, and the other peers of the ring might get left out and remain unbalanced.
But don't worry, i'm sure somebody else can do it, too

---

ok i have done it. it is very new for me

---

Awesome! The first time is the best :)

Thanks for the swaps, plebs!

---

@Bitcoinsammler Looks like you rebalanced, and our node was included in it and charged you 134 sats.
Please send invoice to hd@hodl.doctor, and we will send refund.
Thanks for your work.

---

Hmm i cannot use keysend...
Bitcoinsammler you can send me an invoice over 165 sats :)

---

ok i send it to you

---

any way you like, post it here, send it via telegram or email:

---

@Bitcoinsammler Seems that you node is offline several days. Will it be back or should our channel be closed?
