error adding anchor inputs: error fetching anchor outpoint: no tx found #111

Closed acurious closed 9 months ago

acurious commented 9 months ago

Tried to use pullanchor command for 2 force closed channels. One was force closed by peer around 3 weeks ago with low fee. The other channel was force closed by my using chantools forceclose. Using pullanchor command without api flag returned for both CPFP attempts: "error adding anchor inputs: error fetching anchor outpoint: no tx found". The transactions are visible on Blockstream explorer, though. Using --apiurl https://mempool.space/api worked as expected.

That just means the bitcoind node backing the default API (blockstream.info) has too small of a mempool and the force close transactions therefore were discarded. Good to know that there is an alternative API available. But I don't feel like switching the default right now as mempool.space had some stability issues quite recently.
