With custodial lightning wallets withdrawing from the US, lightning users are choosing self-custody and better UX with Ghost Addresses! 👻 ⚡

I'd like to try this, but I can't sign in from Thunderhub on my Start9 server.
Any additional info you can provide here? This is the first we're hearing of an issue like this.
Sure, it's StartOS running on a mini PC. I have a full node and LND. I installed Thunderhub and it seems to be fine with my normal lightning stuff. Under the Amboss tab I get a button to log in. Clicking that just gives me an error message and that's as far as it goes. I've tried it locally, remote, and on mobile, all with no luck. Maybe I missed some configuration somewhere, but I didn't see any place to input my Amboss email or anything.
Tried this on Christmas eve and it didn't work. Set it up with Thunderhub on Umbrel. Then sent 1000 sats from Breez to the free ghost address claimed on Thunderhub. Breez shows it went through. But it never hit my lightning node. I checked on your website but it doesn't seem to have any way to see what was sent to the address.
Payments made to the ghost address won't show up as a transaction; the balance just increases!
More visibility is coming to help document attempts and payments.
Happy to help test by sending you some sats for being an early adopter and giving feedback!
I'll do another test. I guess that explains why you have a telegram or email notification of ghost receives option on your sevice.
I'm good thanks. Though I wouldn't mind a pointer to videos on your other services. Trying to determine if I would benefit from hydro, magma....
That's a good reminder!
Hydro ensures you have enough capacity to receive payments automatically. Set up a management plan to get started.
Magma helps you earn yield on your Bitcoin if you already operate a well-connected lightning node without sacrificing custody. Create an offer to start leasing lightning channels.
Worked great. Odd cause I see key sends and transactions. Didn't know this scenario existed. Would make accounting difficult. Anyhow all components are beta so no worries. Probably be addressed in the future.
