Lnd: 2 questions/ No active channels on autopilot and random transaction too half my balance.

[CryptoAstroNut]

Background

I just got my node up and running on mainnet and put in a small amount of bitcoin to play around with. I have yet to have a channel open up.(it's on autopilot) I had one channel in pending for awhile but that was it. Also I noticed that half my balance disappeared so I checked the transactions and there are two. My orignal deposit and then one withdraw..... Can someon explain this to me please? I tried sending 150sats on Yall's but that came up as "unable to find path or destination. Below is a pic of the transaction. Top is my deposit and bottom is the withdraw. Sorry if this is a noob questions but I am one.

Your environment

• version of lnd: 0.5
• which operating system: Rasbian stretch

@CryptoAstroNut Try lncli listchannels, the fund must be in a channel. If the channel doesn't show up there, it must be in pending so try lncli pendingchannels to find out.

Also version 0.5 is quite old, you should update and get v0.5.2.

EDIT: Also help files can give a lot info if you run lncli help.

It does look like it's in a channel thank you. its show it as "Active:false" Do i just close this channel?
I'll go ahead and update this version also thank you.

@CryptoAstroNut I wouldn't close the channel yet. After doing the update, restart your LND node and try lncli listchannels again, the channel might show active, if not, it just means your counterparty is offline at the moment.

Ok, thank you for answering this for me I appreciate it.

Closing as there doesn't seem to be an issue here. I'd suggest checking out our Slack or IRC channel for questions like these instead.
