lnd: UTXO Transaction not found

Background

After the Telegram lightning watch bot went down a few days ago the channel to it was force closed but the funds in the channel have not reappeared for me. There is a transaction listed but it is not found in mempool.space. There is another transaction with approx the right amount, but the money isn’t found anywhere, it has gone to another address I can’t see I think; not very clear on this last point.

This node hasn’t been touched in several months, apart from upgrading lnd and restarting, as it is my test setup for “I’ll get around to learning more about this when I have time” which of course never happens.

When I first started to troubleshoot this there were 3 utxos in this strange 0-confirmations state so I took the advice to use --reset-wallet-transactions and after an hour the situation improved and now has only one like this. I ran it again to see if it would clear up any more but has not changed again.

Your environment

• lnd version 0.14.2-beta commit=v0.14.2-beta
• Windows 10
• Neutrino
• tor and a dynamic ip that is also advertised

The problem

Two-fold issue from my perspective

• A) have sats marked as “unconfirmed” which will presumably never get confirmed as the transaction is not in the pool
• B) I don’t appear to have got the sats back from the force closed channel, unless they are the ones in A) which is roughly the right amount

Transaction with no confirmations

Is this normal? lnd can see this utxo but the transaction doesn’t exist and hence no balance in the address.

                        "confirmations": 0
                },

Transaction with funds gone somewhere I can’t see

Separately, in RTL there is a listing for the force closed transaction. I don’t know how to see this via the lncli.

In that listing it shows the closing transaction as being 10034c258395cb0211ec0edd066d11cb1b5a0cec0aaa0890f947959b88f0b409

It shows the sats moving to an address, and then some time later moving to another one. I can’t see this as an available balance unless it is the unconfirmed amount described above, though the amount doesn’t quite match.

Expected behaviour

I would expect the funds from the force closed to become available to me.

Actual behaviour

It didn’t
