Never got mnemonic seed... can I redo that part and get a new one?

[malixg]

I got to the point in the installation where I typed in my Password D, and it said to write down the seed phrase, but I never saw one and the installation just continued. Do I need to completely start from scratch or is there a way to just redo that part and get a new seed? Thanks

I had to scroll up a little in the terminal window on my laptop to get my seed.

[malixg]

It's too late for that

Check this: https://github.com/rootzoll/raspiblitz/blob/master/home.admin/70initLND.sh

Try
./70initLND.sh

[malixg]

when can I type this in?

[cryptomulde]

After establishing ssh connection to RPI type CTRL + C to cancel and be able to input commands yourself.

[malixg]

I tried this and it went through some scripts, asked me for password C again, and went back to synching node, never prompting me to recreate password D or giving me my seed. https://pastebin.com/XzmBQk3G here is the output from the command.

you could also try creating a new one by typing lncli create if testnet you have to add --network=testnet lncli --network=testnet create

[malixg]

that will let me create a new seed?

[cryptomulde]

yes

[rootzoll]

Thanks. This is the second report that the installation did somehow skipped parts of the wallet creation. My take away to improve is ...

TODO: For v1.1 implement the wallet creation script in python, do checks that wallet was really created and make single UI steps more clearly.

Close but still not successful.

~ $ lncli create
Input wallet password:
Confirm wallet password:

Do you have an existing cipher seed mnemonic you want to use? (Enter y/n): n

Your cipher seed can optionally be encrypted.
Input your passphrase if you wish to encrypt it (or press enter to proceed without a cipher seed passphrase):

I restarted pi and tried again. Got this error now:
[lncli] unable to generate seed: rpc error: code = Unknown desc = wallet already exists

Is there a way to delete wallet so I can create a new one?

[lncli] unable to generate seed: rpc error: code = Unimplemented desc = unknown service lnrpc.WalletUnlocker

Thats unusual ... first time this got reported.

@malixg can you head over to LND Dev Slack and get details on that error and report back? https://dev.lightning.community

[rootzoll]

@malixg check the directory /mnt/hdd/lnd to delete the lnd data

[malixg]

i see data, lnd.conf, logs, tls.cert, tls.key

just delete it all?

[rootzoll]

you can be bold and delete all of it - as long as you never funded your wallet, you should be safe todo so. After delete try running ./70initLND.sh again from your /home/admin directory.

[malixg]

ok, I deleted everything in /mnt/hdd/lnd and then did lncli create, and successfully got a seed. Then I ran ./70initLND.sh and my the Block Chain synced. I made it to the main menu. Thank you

Does the LND seed follow BIP-39 rules?

I remember me writing down the seed of the LND wallet of my RaspiBlitz 1.7.0 very carefully as I'm aware of the impartance of the seed mnemonic words and order. I funded my LND wallet with some amount. Fortunately I had the idea to check with my Electrum wallet if I can restore the LND wallet with Electrum in case that's needed for some emergancy.
Dooh, I was puzzled to see that my LND seed fails the BIP-39 checksum in Electrum, but also fails with an offline script from iancoleman.io. OK, it may be my fault, but I can't explain it to myself. To be safe I defunded the LND wallet until I can sort this out (need to figure out if the seed is hidden in some way in the LND wallet, of course likely in some encrypted way; I'd really like to find out what kind of transcript error I made). Any hints for that?
