Just for fun, I recovered my Phoenix wallet in Sparrow to see if there was anything left. There was!!! But I don't know what use it could ever serve. I'm probably not going to execute this silly transaction.

So is this UTXO just going to be an old truck rusting in the forest? Are these sats now a monument to the great Phoenix's flight from the land of the free and the home of the brave? Are these rare sats now? (I'm just kidding, shit-coiners. This wallet's not for sale.) But seriously, is there ANYTHING useful I could do with these?

Is there not a wallet that will let you create an transaction from two different private keys.

If so you could wait till your next on chain transaction and lump it in together.

I might be showing my ignorance, I am not sure if you can have a BTC transaction with created from two different keys.

I am not sure if you can have a BTC transaction with created from two different keys.

Seems like PSBTs support that, see my emphasis:

Partially Signed Bitcoin Transactions (PSBTs) are a data format that allows wallets and other tools to exchange information about a Bitcoin transaction and the signatures necessary to complete it.

A PSBT can be created that identifies a set of UTXOs to spend and a set of outputs to receive that spent value. Then information about each UTXO that’s necessary to generate a signature for it can added, possibly by a separate tool, such as the UTXO’s script or its precise bitcoin value.

The PSBT can then be copied by any means to a program that can sign it. For multisig wallets or cases where different wallets control different inputs, this last step can be repeated multiple times by different programs on different copies of the PSBT. Multiple PSBTs each with one or more necessary signatures can be integrated into a single PSBT later. Finally, that fully signed PSBT can be converted into a complete ready-to-broadcast transaction.

I can imagine a scenario in the future in which someone has gathered the seed phrases of dozens of abandoned wallets like this and could use this technique to harvest enough of them at once for it to really be worth-while. It kind of makes me want to collect a repository of people's abandoned sats and create a UTXO graveyard ripe for Dr. Frankensat!

if you can get the private key (don't know much about Phoenix or Sparrow) you could presumably import it into Core and use it as another input in a tx with other amounts in the wallet - whether it's worth it economically is another thing, but it could be used as an input and not become another dust UTXO in that seemingly ever growing graveyard of unspendable outputs.

Hold off to see if Ark can do anything with these amounts

I still haven’t got around to researching ark. This might be the kick in the pants I need!

Stranded sats. How will this ever be solved? My channel closed as well, but I had 300,000 sats in my wallet. I was not a fan of the force close.

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @jasonb OP 29 Jun

Oh woah! That’s real money. I was just joking, as I think my real plan with these is to let them rust in this forgotten wallet forever, but you should definitely recover those if you’ve really still got 300,000 left there.

I have this very promble with my Yellow Card

I would get some kind of open dime device, and set the transaction fee to 1.01 sat/vb and pray to Satoshi that it gets there. If it does get confirmed, the device should be held for your grandkids.

Or just buy another $2 worth of sats. Lol

Lol keep the key in case we get covanants or something that can lift a UTXO into a higher layer like ark, wonder if you can't make it a federations problem like sending it to a fedimint and then get eCash in exchange

Did you close the channel in Phoenix rather than sending out your sats?

0 sats \ 3 replies \ @jasonb OP 28 Jun

So these are the leftover onchain sats after the channel was closed. I’d love to get them on lightning, but I’d be like a 300 sat channel that could never close, and I don’t think that’s even possible…although it would be silly and fun.

those 300 sats are from anchor outputs reserve. When you had some more sats into Phoenix, you should not use LN to send them out, but close the channel or send them to an onchain address directly. Once you select to send them all, the channel will be closed and nothing left.

0 sats \ 1 reply \ @jasonb OP 28 Jun

Hey thanks @DarthCoin! Unfortunately, the channel closed a while back. This is literally the only UTXO left in the wallet with no lightning channels at all.
