Close Channel Failed

[ChosunOne]

Problem Definition

After creating a channel with the Raiden Echo Node and depositing funds to the channel, attempting to close the channel will fail. The error comes in the form of a thrown transaction.

Problem Construction

Open a channel to the Raiden Echo Node via
curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X PUT -d '{"partner_address" : "0x02f4b6bc65561a792836212ebc54434db0ab759a", "token_address" : "0x0f114a1e9db192502e7856309cc899952b3db1ed", "balance" : 1000, "settle_timeout" : 100}' http://localhost:5001/api/1/channels

Once the channel has been opened, attempt to close the channel via
curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X PATCH -d '{"state" : "closed"}' http://localhost:5001/api/1/channels

The following output should be seen on the raiden log
