Can you send lightning payments with Mutiny? I have 180000 sats on lightning but if I want to send lightning payments it does not seem to have that option? Only on chain payments. Is this correct? #mutiny #bitcoin
Discussion
I recovered the wallet from seed words. Would this have anything to do with it?
nostr:npub1mutnyacc9uc4t5mmxvpprwsauj5p2qxq95v4a9j0jxl8wnkfvuyque23vg definitely has Lightning functionality. I’m not sure what you’re seeing but you should absolutely be able to send Lightning payments with that 180k sats
it must surely involve opening a channel though? and fees! which could be a hassle with BRC20s back on the hustle.
If I’m not mistaken, to fund a channel, you just send sats to your Mutinity wallet which opens that channel. nostr:npub1wwdan077pcar6khldr7fcmzy8ejhvn04t7sh7yfehecda3uxwsnsewegfz probably sent himself onchain bitcoin to mutiny instead of lightning.
I restored my wallet using the seed words because an old computer died on me.
I then sent some new sats to Mutiny from WOS. But nothing shows in Activity?
Could the fact I restored my wallet have something to do with my issue?
Ahh if you restored your wallet your channel was probably closed and it’s now On-chain
You have to send a certain minimum to reopen the channel, I believe it’s 50k sats. So not sure if you met that minimum. Probably will be returned to your WoS if the payment failed
My. Funds are showing as on lightning. I tried to do a btc payment buy got a message saying I have no on chain funds.
Also is settings - Lightning Channel its showing I have a channel open?
Not idea what is going on here… 
You may be confused. Looks like you tried to do a Btc payment with onchain funds when you have only lightning bitcoin.. think of onchain bitcoin and lightning as two seperate layers, you can’t pay onchain addresses with lightning funds. Similarly, you can’t pay lightning invoices with onchain funds. You would need to settle the Lightning channel on chain by closing your open channel to make this onchain bitcoin. Not sure if mutiny has this capability, this is why many people run nodes so they can open and close Lightning channels and return Lightning bitcoin to your onchain wallet
Does the payment allow for lightning payments? Usually there’s a way to toggle this from an onchain address to a lightning invoice if you are paying a merchant. If you are trying to return funds to your own onchain wallet, I’d close your channel with mutiny.
No there is no lighting payment option. I have used lightning for a while with a few different wallets and have never had this issue. I’ll contact the mutiny guys and see what they say. Thanks!
You need to close the channel with mutiny to settle it on chain. Then you can make payment onchain when it settles
