Yeah, my setup does not rely on lndhub.io. I actually had the exact issue you described when I first started using it, and it’s a bad look for onboarding someone that way. I don’t keep any sats in BlueWallet custodial channels. Everything I use runs off of LN.tips, Alby, and my own node.

At this stage in the Lightning Network wallet user experience, there is no perfect answer. I’m just sharing what I’ve found works best after a lot of testing!

Yea, totally agree. Reckon we should point out that difference between their custodial and non-custodial. 😎

I just hate that feeling when I get a no coiner to start the pleb journey and something happens just after. Like getting someone to put their hard earned cash into $10 of BTC and within a few days its worth $4. As a long time pleb I know it doesn't matter but no coiners, well sometimes their timing couldn't be worse😁

Absolutely. It’s always the same thing. Whenever you want to demonstrate anything for someone, something inevitably goes wrong and you end up looking stupid and have to make excuses for why something you’ve done a thousand times isn’t working. It doesn’t matter what it is, but when it comes to bitcoin it just feels more personal.

Kinda like that sinking feeling when your wife catches you peeing in the shower!! 😂

Oh man, mine hates that. We’ve developed a system so she gets out before me and then says, “You can go do whatever you want now!”

Just spent the last hour and a half on the phone to the last 9 new coiners who I had got using Blue in the last couple of months. Happy to say they are all whole and didn't lose a sat. Felt like a complete dik though and I hope there is a wallet coming soon that is non custodial, lightning and simple for noobs. 😅
