Blue wallet yes, sparrow no

Thank you! Would it essentially be just clicking on he receive and whatever the address starting with bc1 is provided and qr code? How is it identified as a lightening address?

🙏🏻

You need to run a node to use blue wallet as a lightning wallet.

Blue wallet yes, sparrow no (onchain only)

Sparrow is not compatible with Lightning.

Blue Wallet supports LNDHub if you already have a wallet on an LNDHub provider (there’s many).

Hmmm, I wanted to transfer some from a kyc exchange that provided to do that over lightning network, and I wanted to see if blue wallet would give me such address. I don't think I understand the part "if you already have a wallet on a lndhub provider".

Blue Wallet lets you “connect” to an existing wallet on an LNDHub, it doesn’t let you create a new one as far as I know. They provided that for a while and discontinued it.

If you are looking for a Lightning wallet I would recommend Alby Hub, even though at the moment its invite only you could try asking Bumi for an invite.

Mi think I understand better. Let me make sure. Basically, I would have had to set up that connection to a lndhub, and would have been grandfathered into that option as it no longer exists? I haven't done that so then I am guessing my blue wallet doesn't have that option?

I do have alby but I just keep my zaps on there. I haven't had a chance to create an Alby hub yet but it seems like I should at some point.

If you don’t want to mix your zap balance with your other balance, you could create another Alby account? That said I recommend you try to keep your setup as simple as possible, as having something complicated can lead to loss of funds due to one’s own mistakes.

Hey nostr:nprofile1qqsqqqqqqzp8l74ff0l29zxrml8yggk8jnamje39k6e3ayzf7u5awqqpz4mhxue69uhkwun9v4h8xmm4dsh8xurpvdjszyrhwden5te0dehhxarj9ekxzmnyu4z9ek maybe you have an answer since sounded like you are familiar with blue wallet. Do you know what would be the reason why a mobile version of the wallet seen to not be found when the seed phrase is imported into the desktop version of the wallet? Says no wallet found.

Hopefully you are downloading and using the official BlueWallet apps 🙏

I am however not sure what the issue you are having is.

Is it an On-chain Wallet or a Lightning wallet?

Seriously, how do you explain lightning to someone that just wants to custody sats from lightning and obviously is not going to invest the brainpower to understand lightning channels and never signed up for the amount of money and work it takes to maintain a lightning node?
