after some troubleshooting my node issues (see #1085900 and #1059299) have yet gone unresolved
very annoying not being able to access my funds -- although i don't blame anyone besides myself -- as i wrote before i am still getting data corruption errors during sync --yes, i already nuked my db -- rip...):
not really been able to rule out ram or hd issues -- havent really had the time -- guess i can do that at a later day
for now -- a simple (?) restore from backup to recover funds is all i'm hoping to accomplish -- i have a ful copy of my lnd directory complete with channel backups -- but yea -- doing so requires an up an drunning node -- so what are stackers' recommendations
some of my initial thoughts are ---
  • hoping to not have to drop too many sats on new hardware -- logically speaking my next steps would be replacing the ram and/or hd to see if that is whats wrong
  • i can just buy an umbrel/start9 -- but sunk cost fallacy is real
  • wondering if i can restore from backup on a cloud node like albyhub or rizful
  • wondering if i can restore to a mobile wallet like zeus or blixt
right now i just want to get my sats back so i can pay rent

Can't you restore LND with neutrino instead of core?
Maybe @DarthCoin or @Filiprogrammer knows?

lets see -- i changed the ram and connected the hd with a new cable -- resyncing now and i'm past the point at which it failed last time -- fingers crossed

As already stated in #1090261, if it's just about getting your LND node up and running again, you can just use neutrino as the chain backend by starting LND with --bitcoin.node=neutrino --feeurl=https://nodes.lightning.computer/fees/v1/btc-fee-estimates.json.
When it comes to getting your Bitcoin node up and running again, then as I already said in #1088425 since it seems your blockchain got corrupted, (presumably due to a flaky RAM connection) you will have to re-download the chain.
