Description
**Details:**
The address generated in this flow (*Node -> Advanced -> Deposit Bitcoin*) is not recognized by the "On-chain balance reader", even though the funds are there. I do not recommend anyone to do this but I tested myself and by placing the 12-word seed phrase in Sparrow, the funds are there and the sparrow wallet picks up correctly all UTXOs and the deposited funds.... But not the Alby Hub.
**Workaround:**
To make the funds reappear in the On-chain Balance of Alby Hub:
1. Go to the channel creation flow.
2. Start the process of creating a channel with on-chain funds.
3. Press the "Refresh" button repeatedly until the *same* address generated in the advanced->deposit appears.
4. Press "Refresh" once more to generate a new address.
5. This forces the funds to be recognized in the Alby Hub interface and the previously deposited funds now appear in the On-chain balance.
_This happened to at least 3 users + myself in the 1.12 version. I am reporting this now because I have not found an issue about this problem, I thought there was._

Research direction
Start by tracing the Node → Advanced → Deposit Bitcoin flow and the on-chain balance reader, then reproduce the issue using the documented deposit and channel-creation refresh steps. Done means funds deposited through the advanced flow appear in Alby Hub's On-chain Balance without creating a channel or repeatedly refreshing addresses.
