  • Helping someone move BTC. They hold using Sandisk + Electrum. Want to move funds that they have in lightning.

  • Go on channels tab. I can see BTC balance in lightning network. It says they can send X BTC and receive 0 BTC in the top left. However they have no channels set up at all. Prompt is to create your first channel.

  • Click setup new channel, enter amount much smaller than balance (but much greater than minimum required) - ensuring to leave enough for fees. When click continue, it says not enough “not enough funds” (it has +X BTC left on balance).

  • Electrum crashes. Reload. Try same. Same again.

  • They take Sandisk to a new laptop + download electrum from the Electrum website. When Electrum is opened, the balance shows 0. It shows previous transactions, but it does not anything in the lightning balance or on channels.

  • They plug Sandisk back into other laptop, Electrum prompts that “This version of electrum is too old to open this wallet” you require atleast X version - go to official electrum and download.

  • Sandisk connection to Electrum now works, but balance also shows zero across the app. Still shows previous txs. Last tx is 20 days ago. But cannot see the lightning network balance, no channels at all, can’t create channel.

• How can I make the lightning balance show again?
• Why does it say not enough funds when there’s several BTC.

Maybe not the right place but assistance needed please
