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.

you can try boltz or coinos alternatively

Do I need to pour my Bitcoin wallet into these two wallets and transfer to the Lightning Wallet from here

From bluewallet you can move to wallet of satoshi.

On wallet of Satoshi just choose on chain option.

From bluewallet you can not do a lightning transaction it has to be on-chain. So you lightning wallet needs both options. Like wallet of satoshi

I can't seem to zap you. What kind of wallet are you using

me? wallet of satoshi.

no boltz is a dex

Did you connect the Lightning wallet to your node?

I wanted to transfer money from BW's Bitcoin wallet to my Alby wallet or WOS wallet's Lightning wallet, but entering the addresses of both wallets prompted "invalid address". Is it not possible to transfer directly to the Lightning Wallet?

To my knowledge, the only way to have a functional Lightning Blue Wallet is to self host, like as you mentioned, BW ended custodial hosting services a while back.

Maybe shoot it over on chain to a Muun Wallet and then transfer to a lightning wallet of your choice?

I see, what you mean is that BW no longer has a Lightning wallet hosting service, nor does it have a default Lightning node. So I can't transfer out of BW, I need to find a wallet that has lightning node hosting, and this wallet also has a Bitcoin wallet on the chain. So I can transfer money from the on-chain Bitcoin wallet to the Lightning wallet?

Yes, or connect BW Lightning to a node you’re running. Those are the two options.

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.
