Unreserved outputs

[dmamira]

When I tried to open a channel with a node connected by fundchannel, I got an error.
Despite the error, when I checked the status in listfunds, I found that reserved was set to true.
I then shut down the node, so fundchannel_cancel did not work properly.
How can I set reserved to false?

What was the first error?

The outputs are reset to unreserved after w timeout of a couple of hours (long enough to avoid accidentally doublespending a slow transaction, and short enough to not be too disruptive). UTXO management is hard 🙂

If you want to short-circuit the reservation system, (which as @cdecker mentions is in place so that you don't clobber an in-progress channel open or other transaction), you can use unreservepsbt.

You'll need to identify the specific utxo's that you want to unreserve, pass them to utxopsbt with reserve=false to build a psbt that has them as an input, and then pass the resulting psbt to unreservepsbt, which will unreserve them for you.
