i have Testnet LN Node, i have created a wallet, i have send on-chain funds to that wallet i have connected to several peers i have created several channels, all of these are outgoing one side funded channels,

i want to do a reverse submarine swap, i mean Pay in LN and receive in BTC

LN --> BTC

this site offers the other way https://submarineswaps.org/

the purpose of these is to reverse a channel, or the half capacity of channel to be ready to receive LN payments.

of course i could just spend money, but the idea is to reverse the channel without loosing money (loosing is simulated as its in testnet)

thanks

you can try sideshift.ai or zigzag.io the first one supports testnet but is still invoite only. For zigzag.io I think this service is only offered on mainnet.

As of now this is possible with Lightning Labs' Loop. It's a non-custodial reverse submarine swap implementation.

  • You need to build LND with some special flags to enable the feature.
  • Loop is installed and runs separately as a daemon.

Once you have both running, you can simply "loop out" to send balance in your channel and receive Bitcoin onchain.

  • could it be done with an Eclairs Android mobile wallet channel? – Emi Apr 03 '19 at 21:02
  • @emi only for a channel between Eclair mobile wallet and an LND node that's running loopd. Then you can provide loop the channel id. – pseudozach Apr 04 '19 at 14:19

This is a trusted service for now but it utilizes the Lightning Loop to do a reverse submarine swap https://reckless.capital/swap

At the moment of writing this website is on the Lightning Testnet. Soon this service will be available for use on Mainnet.

Also full disclosure I am the owner of the website.
