Zeus updated guide - recovering zombie channels
994 sats \ 6 comments \ @DarthCoin 4 Dec bitcoin_beginners
I've updated the guide about advanced usage of Zeus embedded node. PLEASE, to all Zeus users, is better to read now this guide before you end up in a bad situation that is explained in this new section, so you can avoid this disaster situation. I saw some new users doing mistakes and I tested myself this situation, so I could write this guide. I do not want you to end up like this, but shit can happen all the time and people do mistakes.
Added a new section:
DISASTER CASE - You open a channel with very low fee and is stuck in limbo DO NOT DO RBF ON PENDING OPENING CHANNELS! DO ONLY CPFP or better use Mempool Accelerator.
🇬🇧 - Zeus LN Node - Advanced Usage 🇪🇸 - Nodo Zeus LN - Uso Avanzado
If you need me to add anything else to the guide, please let me know. I tried to make it as short is possible, including links to more documentation.
Please bookmark it and read it. It could save you a lot of trouble.

Just a little nit I noticed that might confuse people:
You either have to use a 3rd party accelerator or pull the funds into Sparrow and craft a replacement CPFP transaction, have it settle, then open the channel at the appropriate fee rate
Calling it "replacement CPFP transaction" is misleading, since it is not CPFP. You are replacing the original channel funding transaction. I would just call it "replacement transaction"

Right, make sense. Thanks. I will add also a link to explain what is CPFP and how to do it.

Thanks for the updates! Also an area I need to research. My Zeus app wouldn’t open properly for a few weeks. I chatted with Evan K and I unfortunately had to force closure of the LN channels I set up and paid for. Now the sats are on chain and I need to reopen channel(s) in hopes they don’t lock up again like last time. Time for me to hit the Darth Coin Zeus guides again!

I always said: If more people will read first my guides, before use, will have less troubles. I do not write all these 60+ guides just for the sake of writing them...
