Nostr

The bitcoins in my BlueWallet Bitcoin wallet could not be transferred to the Lightning Wallet, and the error was "invalid address". Does anyone know what's going on? I remember that before BW did not cancel BW custodial wallet, it was possible to recharge directly from the Bitcoin wallet to BW's lightning wallet.

Are you trying to move on-chain BTC into Lightning using BlueWallet? This is only possible now if you have your own node connected with LNDHub. Otherwise you’re going to have to do this a different way, such as using Phoenix.

Is it because BW does not have a managed Lightning node, so you need to find a managed node wallet in order to transfer money from BW's on-chain BTC wallet to the Lightning wallet?

Correct. They stopped offering that service earlier this year because it was unreliable and they didn’t want to be in the custodial wallet business.

You should try nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 as a replacement. In a very short time they should have the new version out with an embedded node that lets you create your own channels and swap from on-chain to Lightning.

Thank you so much. I'll try🫡

Just wanted to report that I did test this out using BlueWallet with my node and it worked fine. The deposit I made to the static on-chain address from LNDHub was credited to the total balance of that wallet.
