First time I'm having to do a real recovery from seed phrase and woof. So far it's been a real pain in the ass

Crow Chronicles # 3 It's getting closer to the fall now and it seems that the juvenile has grown up some. They're not constantly begging for food, and now the three of them sit quietly (sort of) and wait for food. I've been leaving water out and every so often one of them will knock the water over. I assumed it was an accident at first, now it seems intentional. Just this morning I heard the water get knocked over and went outside to find all three of them sitting in the tree and one of them had taken a giant shit on my porch table. Needless to say I am not happy.

Yes, and your job is to kill all the voices with the bad ideas

Thanks for checking in, it was an unconventional recovery - I was restoring a lightning node (on-chain and channel backups). My seed phrase was correct, but the lightning node software could not find the old UTXOs, despite doing multiple indexes/ restores. So I thought, "no problem, I'll just throw the seed into sparrow and move the funds from there". But for some reason the seeds that Lightning Node generates are non BIP39 compliant (invalid checksum). Which I thought I could still choose to bypass in sparrow but didn't see that option any more. I had to install "chantools" cli tool to plug my non BIP39 need into to generate a private key (xprv...), then use that to pull the wallet into sparrow. Recovered the funds and then moved them all to a new lightning node wallet 😅 The whole things took a couple of hours and multiple times I had assumed I was using an old seed and had lost the correct one.
