So Frens and Plebs,

I've orange-pilled some friends and they are moving some significant savings to bitcoin. They also want to begin using bitcoin for daily spending, and would like to set up a lighting wallet. Here I am, supposedly the "expert" helping them, and I really don't have any good recommendations for them because I haven't used lightning very much at all...

I have used Wallet of Satoshi for a while for modest amounts of BTC, which was great; but that's no longer an option for them. I like Minibits, because it seems to work well for both Cashu and Lightning, but I don't know of a good way to fund the wallet with lightning SATs...

I am beginning to learn about setting up a lightning node, which I fully intend to do on my Start One server running Start9... however, I find the whole lightning setup thing rather intimidating...

Bottom Line Question:

Any suggestions for simply funding a Minibits wallet with a modest amount of bitcoin for a reasonable fee? Say, around 200k sats?

Thanks in advance for any "Quick and Dirty" suggestions, as I'm going to visit my friends in a couple of hours...

Run LNbits for them, then they can have wallets and play with all the extensions.

You'll be their wallet of Satoshi. But they can use the boltz extension to loop out to onchain periodically, so the risk is limited of you stealing their funds

Thanks, Ben...🙏🏻💖

I very much want to do this, but have been moving slowly because my wife's quite ill...😮

I have LNbits loaded on my Start9, but haven't figured out how to properly configure it yet...😜

Please know that you're much appreciated, and I will power through this, one tiny step at a time!🙏🏻😆

You got start9 setup, that's def step in right direction 🔥. You can give your friends user accounts. After they have got the accounts disable making new accounts in server. I would also use a regular user account for yourself, it's more secure. Using super user account install extensions and just play around. They're fun

Most have a more button with videos and description so you can learn what the do. Good luck 🚀🚀🚀

Plodding onward, and will report back as I make progress.😃
