70 sats \ 5 replies \ @jimblogic 9 Aug 2022 \ parent \ on: Daily discussion thread
These channels had most of the satoshis on their side when their software must have closed the channels to me. I reached out to some of them that i know but they seem to preffer to allocate those sats on another channel atm.
Does that mean you could permanently lose the 20 million sats? That sounds too risky if I simply go offline by accident for a day.
reply
No, those 20 million sats were other people's sats, they had either opened a channel to me and had sats on their side of the channel or after a while some of my channels had liquidity moved around and it allocated sats on their side because my sats had gone to on another channel.
But even if they were other people's sats they were useful to me.

Thanks. Provided your node doesn't get compromised, are the only ways to lose sats are fees from rebalancing?

If you go offline for 2-3 days. There is a chance that a peer you have a channel with could potentially try to share an old state of the channel that benefits him/her with more sats on his/her side than there really have. If your node doesn't go back
online in time to provide a channel state that is more recent then they could get away with some funds. But you can set up a thing called a watchtower to automatically store channel states for you and send them for you if you are offline and a peer tries close a channel with you with erroneous info.
