Lightning Network Daemon – How to ignore LND on-chain reserve balance?
I have about 120,000 sat left on-chain balance in LND and since the node is about to be shut down permanently, I would like to completely wipe out my wallet.
that much reserved_balance_anchor_chan
The amount was previously 100,000 sat (the maximum I believe). I used it manually and got it down to 20,000 sat. abandonchannel
About a few pending forced closures (which didn’t matter since the local balance was 0 anyway).
Now LND has no pending/active channels and my configuration prohibits opening new channels, making reserve balance meaningless. i didn’t find How to completely ignore or disable it.
Trying to use sendcoins
I get the expected error:
(lncli) rpc error: code = Unknown desc = reserved wallet balance invalidated: transaction would leave insufficient funds for fee bumping anchor channel closings
Of course, throwing away 20,000 sat wouldn’t be a big deal. I’m just curious.
