## chantools signrescuefunding
Rescue funds locked in a funding multisig output that never resulted in a proper channel; this is the command the remote node (the non-initiator) of the channel needs to run
2020-12-27 00:40:51 +00:00
### Synopsis
This is part 2 of a two phase process to rescue a channel
funding output that was created on chain by accident but never resulted in a
proper channel and no commitment transactions exist to spend the funds locked in
the 2-of-2 multisig.
If successful, this will create a final on-chain transaction that can be
broadcast by any Bitcoin node.
