100 sats \ 3 replies \ @justin_shocknet 6h \ on: Blixt Wallet Issues bitcoin_beginners
If you closed one channel and the other is inactive your spendable balance (on LN) is 0
If you think the inactive one will come back online, its local balance (minus some for commit fees) will be your spendable balance, but you may as well attempt a cooperative close if it does come online. A force close otherwise will take probably a few weeks to settle and is going to be a little more expensive.
The balance of the channel you closed will have to be spent on chain. This may or may not be settled yet depending on the state of the channel when it was closed.
Thanks. The inactive channel is active now but still showing insufficient balance when I try to send even though I have more than enough sats to cover commit fee and what I am attempting to send.
I am going to contact their support.

Just to be clear there's 2 fees implied, the routing fee and the channel reserve... my guess is you're up against the channel reserve.
If you're done with that wallet I'd recommend just closing the active channel then sweeping out everything on-chain, that will maximize what you get out of it.

Thanks. I will do that.
