Good that you worked around the problem, but it's still a great question in need of a real answer.  Perhaps un-accept your own reply?

<p>I am using LND (most recent version 0.6.1-beta) and I have a lot of pending channels in state
<code>pending_open_channels</code> 
which are stuck for many days (perhaps because of low fee and  full mempool) so I want to reset those transactions from my LND/bitcoind or just increase a fee so that could be mined and the channel open.</p>

<p>What options do I have? Can I just delete/reset all pending channels somehow? Or wait or what.</p>

<p>Many thanks for your attention and ideas.</p>

# LND How to reset pending_open_channels?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2019-05-29)

I am using LND (most recent version 0.6.1-beta) and I have a lot of pending channels in state
`pending_open_channels`
which are stuck for many days (perhaps because of low fee and full mempool) so I want to reset those transactions from my LND/bitcoind or just increase a fee so that could be mined and the channel open.

What options do I have? Can I just delete/reset all pending channels somehow? Or wait or what.

Many thanks for your attention and ideas.

Bitcoind v0.18 was unable to broadcasst my channel transactions because of bug in LND. This error has been found in lnd log:

`Second argument must be numeric (maxfeerate) and no longer supports a boolean. To allow a transaction with high fees, set maxfeerate to 0.`

I have downgraded bitcoind and the stuck transactions moved.
