RBF support

[haraslub]

Description

I set too small fee (1 sat/vByte), thus the funding transaction has not been confirmed more than one week.

Expected Behavior

As the transaction is RBF, I would expect to be able to do child pays for parent in the wallet.

Actual Behavior

Unfortunately, I have not been able to find any way to do it and the transaction is stucked.

Context

Could any one provide me with the solution for a beginner, please?

Your Environment

• Zap version: Zap 0.7.2-beta
• Operating System and version: WIN 10 Home, version 1903

Bumping fees is currently not supported in Zap.

You might want to try using lncli bumpfee or you can wait for the transaction to be mined or expelled from the mempool.

Thank you for the answer, @mrfelton. Are there any instructions how to use lncli bumpfee?

See https://github.com/LN-Zap/zap-desktop/blob/master/docs/ADVANCED.md#connecting-to-lnd-with-lncli for how to use lncli with the build in lnd node.

@jdhines doesn't look like bumpfee command exists. I think it should be lncli wallet bumpfee --sat_per_byte 110 TXID:NUMBER instead.

See here: https://lightningwiki.net/index.php/Bumping_fee_for_lightning_channel_open

[aomgar]

Iam trying to run the lncli but whenever I try to run the EXE it opens up a command line then closes immediately after. I cant put in commands or anything and I'am getting frustrated since I need to RBF a transaction. Iam using windows 10

Managed to get it working and seems to have connected to lnd but when i use lncli wallet bumpfee --sat_per_byte 110 TXID:NUMBER all that comes up is invalid hex-encoded txid TXID

[bolatovumar]

@aomgar are you using TXID in the console? TXID should be your transaction ID that you are trying to bump. For example, for this transaction (https://blockstream.info/tx/ca2b7dc1699a1988bcf81d5a2ea20b164176a9e82ad55bd87fcd6b30e1f41ad1) TXID would be ca2b7dc1699a1988bcf81d5a2ea20b164176a9e82ad55bd87fcd6b30e1f41ad1.
