Sad news.

Maybe someone can help me with this issue, I was having issues moving my funds from a Fedimint to a LN channel. It kept failing when i tried to convert to lightning. Anyone know if we can get our funds out of the mint we were in?

Now when I load the app, i cant even connect to my Fedimint and see my balance, I just get "Error: Failed to connect to a federation."

Support page gives me a deep link to Element/Matrix, but the link is invalid (I have Element downloaded and set up on Android).

Am I cucked?

Have you tried on chain? Fees are low.

reply

Yes, correct. The latest version has a patch that let's you transfer your funds to an on-chain address. I had a similar issue recently, with 500k stuck in a federation, and this worked for me.

That's the only thing that worked for me.

I had the same problem about a month ago

What error message did you receive?

I was trying to move 66000 sats

I had a problem for a few days. Then gave up. Then I received a message from Fedi telegram group admin to try again and it worked

Don’t give up yet!
You are not cucked

I don't remember the exact message when trying to convert from mint to lightning but it was something generic, and I retried for a couple of weeks and then gave up. Now when I load the app, I get the "Error: Failed to connect to a federation." So I can't try again.

I did export my wallet state, I also have my recovery phrase.

What would be the most straightforward way to recover the funds to a new wallet? First restore my mutiny wallet then withdraw to onchain address?

reply

Update: I tried restoring using my recovery phrase, and I get "Error: Network connection closed."

When I open in "safe mode" I have 0 sats balance - assuming this is because lightning / federation balance is not visible in safe mode which is fine.

But what do I do about the funds stuck in the federation? Do I just wait and hope they come back online?

reply

Yes

It worked for me a few weeks ago

Try again today or tomorrow

There is also a Fedi telegram group that helped me troubleshoot
