Restored node using seed phrase but wallet balance was not visible/accessible

Open Synesso opened this issue 4 years ago • 6 comments

I have two Umbrel installations. The first had funds on the bitcoin wallet (no active channels).

When I installed the second installation on a dedicated Pi, I used the same 24 word seed phrase. In order for this to work, I had to also re-use the same password (to avoid the "user already exists error").

I expected the wallet to be the same and contain the same view of the funds on both installations. However, the wallet on the second device display a zero balance, even after a full sync.

I sent funds from the old installation to the receive address of the new installation and now both are showing the same balance, which makes sense.

My concern is that I was only able to see the balance by forcibly sending to myself from the earlier installation. If I did not have access to that, how would I be able to see/access the wallet balance?

I have the same problem. I can see my funds by importing the seed in blue wallet but I see 0 for on chain and lightning balance.

Hey! Please SSH into the Pi and execute the following command to rescan wallet's UTXOs:

sed -i "s/\[Application Options\]/\[Application Options\]\nreset-wallet-transactions=true/g;" ~/umbrel/lnd/lnd.conf && sudo reboot

Wait some time so LND can rescan all wallet's UTXOs. If it solve the issue, run this to stop it from rescanning on a future restart:

sed -i "s/reset-wallet-transactions=true//g;" ~/umbrel/lnd/lnd.conf && sudo reboot

I am having the same issue. I recreated an umbrel (1st was a VM, this one is RPi4) instance and restored using the mnemonic seed. I cant even see the BTC address in the UI to deposit. everything is fully synced. Lightning wallet shows 0 also and my 1 channel is gone.

I guess that the issue with wrong UTXO by umbrel dashboard is the same as in here: getumbrel/umbrel-lightning#20

@louneskmt , the issue in #20 was fixed for a previous version. Actually in 1.2.2 version there aren't files like lnd.conf and so on. Is there anywhere a procedure like indicated in #20 for versions 1.0 and laters? Thanks in advance!!
