Restoring old wallet fails when pruned

Closed this issue · 0 comments

The "birthday" of a seed cannot lie before the oldest unpruned block

Otherwise lnd will fail with:
Seed birthday surpassed, starting recovery of wallet from height=
Unable to synchronize wallet to chain: -1: Block not available (pruned data)

Consequently this means we want to back up the all lnd databases ~50MB to give people the ability to restore wallets without needing an unpruned node
