No I mean why that site lol

What you need is a lightning wallet

You also need a means to fill it, which I guess that site can so. It would be simpler to use one of those nicer wallets that have something built-in to buy BTC with. Like Fountain or Wallet of Satoshi - which I think both use Moonpay

I wish you answered my question about this before when I asked people what they recommend lol

Ive been really busy today, must have missed it lol

If you already gave them your credit card number I guess buy BTC there and send it to yourself after getting a lightning wallet. Thats what I did initially

I have an Exodus wallet, that good ?

I don't know what that is lol

I'm only gonna recommend Fountain.fm - which is actually a podcasting app with a wallet attached, or Wallet of Satoshi which is popular and super simple

ok exodus is non-custodial, confirmed

I think you’re wrong.

Someone said one named Zeus is the only non custodial wallet but you have to run a lightning node. You’ll be charged fees otherwise.

It's a bit of work to manage your own lightning node. You have to open liquidity channels which is going to take some time to learn about and manage.

Phoenix Wallet is an ok compromise. Non-custodial but they manage the channels for you, probably for a fee.

If just looking to test things, I wouldn't overthink it for now. Wallet of Satoshi works.

Blixt is my new fave for a non custodial private channel lightning wallet. Can choose if you want to open the channel to blixt or your own node but I found it doesnt work well commenting to my cln node. Probs works fine if your node is lnd.

I've heard good things about Blixt! I use lnd; I should give a try soon.

Let me know how it goes. 👍

Exodus is- a non-custodial wallet, meaning it does not collect users' personal information or any sensitive data about the wallet. Instead, the data is stored locally on the users' devices. With the ability to log in with a 12-word recovery phase and a password, users are always in control of their crypto funds.

Pretty sure their lightning service is custodial though.

I looked it up and it says it is, it uses wallet of satoshi somehow.

Almost all the lightning wallets are custodial.

and what does that mean?

Custodial means a lot of things but to keep it simple your BTC is held on a thing you don't control on your behalf.

Subject to theft, scams, rugpulls, whatever. Basically its not a long term solution and you should eventually plan for pulling your BTC out of there and onto something more safe that you can look into later

Basically, only keep ur tipping money in there not your life savings lol

is the exodus wallet non-custodial then?
