What’s a good lightning wallet to replace my BlueWallet?
Discussion
So many. What is your actual purpose. Hot cold. Just zapping etc. why are u getting rid of blue. Do you have a node
Yes, I have a node. Just holding and zapping really
You could use Zeus if you have lightning node. Then you have self custody. It is what I’ve done. I also use Muun wallet it’s seems good. Have t used it yet but breeze seems good. as well from what I’ve read
If you want wallet for holding a few to zap here on nostr WoS is easy. Also alby extension or telegram tip bot. I use all three of these and work well. Just remember they are custodial. Not your keys so only a small balance
You can also hook alby and tip bot to your blue wallet which I also do and it’s great.
Endless options
I use Muun to buy stuff and since here in Nostr I’ve been using more and more WoS ( especially for zapping). I got to admit it hasn’t failed and I like it the layout very much 😀⚡️ #[2]
Zeus + LightningTipBot
+1
It could be me 😩
I’ll search some videos later
Looks like it’s not set up correctly. In the Advanced settings in LightningTipBot you’ll get a QR code to scan with Zeus. Just choose the LNDHub option in the Node Configuration menu and it should handle the rest automatically.
#[3] is also here if you have questions.
Thank you! I didn’t setup lightning tip bot, but tried to connect to my LN node direct on Umbrel, via QR. I have some research to do
Okay, figured out that I had to have TOR setup. Have it connected, but tried to move sats from BlueWallt and got error
Do I have to have a channel open to send and receive?
No, the channels are already open. But I would suggest moving the bulk of that to an on-chain wallet where you can self-custody and not keeping too much in any one custodial Lightning wallet.
So…you’re using BlueWallet’s custodial node?
As you probably know, they’re shutting down that service next month. People have complained about having problems making withdrawals from there ever since.
I can see you’ve got over a million sats there so you definitely have to try to get them out. Have you tried moving them to any other wallet? LightningTipBot hasn’t had any inbound capacity issues that in aware of.
Not yet. This is my move. Thought it was good until April. I setup lightning tip bot on telegram, but didn’t connect to Zeus, or at least figure out what needs done to connect it.
Just try sending them directly to your LightningTipBot (or any other wallet like WalletOfSatoshi) before trying to configure Zeus. First order of business is to make sure you can actually move those sats.
BTW, LightningTipBot does not work over TOR as far as I know. Try pasting your Lightning Address or LNURL into BlueWallet and see if you can send anything that way.
Muuns UX and obscurity are actually great. I use it as a secondary wallet, although eventually I'll run 2 nodes and just use Zeus.
I’ve been using Wallet of Satoshi for this and it’s pretty great.
100% #[2] as you already have a node, no better solution IMO.
If you don't want to use your node for some reason, Phoenix or Blixt are great alternatives that aren't custodial.
