Open Channel with on-Chain needs initial fee setting and RBF
J
J123May 1, 2025
When opening a channel using on-chain the fee is set too low ~1 sat/vb this causes the channel to hang waiting for confirmations. There's no RBF to adjust it and it can take 14 days to confirm. Also, how to recover when this happens isn't in any faq. Using Alby Hub v1.16. Can we get a setting for high/medium/low fee, manual or rbf please? Note - alby hub is awsome! :)

Which backend was this for?
Currently we let the node implementation decide - but in LND the sat/vByte fee could be provided. I think in LDK it always uses a high fee rate.
I don't think we can RBF a funding transaction - likely it will break the lightning channel.
