Recovering a wallet #2

Closed nbourbon closed 2 years ago

nbourbon commented 2 years ago

I found to my surprise that after having to restart my node from scratch in latest umbrel versions I can’t use my seedphrase to restart my wallet. it only creates a new one and in telegram they suggested I need to use an older version? Or to follow some advanced processes now to recover my funds from my openness channels

I find it very risky to recommend umbrel (despite of how much I line it) if there is no way to use my seedphrase directly. Is this something you can fix?

thanks, I restored it manually with those backups... but I hope this comes in the UI ASAP as many many umbrel users would have no clue on how to restore and follow up on these steps.

Hi @nbourbon The latest version of the lightning app added automatic channel recovery. See here: https://twitter.com/umbrel/status/1562099972547690501
