What questions do people typically have about lightning wallets?
Discussion
If a channel is forced closed, where do the funds go?
If my node is shut off, what happens to the channel?
Funds go back on chain. If nodes are off channels stay open for a time.
Why custodial? -_-
What’s the easiest lightning wallet for a beginner?
What is “rebalancing”, and why does it need to be done?
How do I fund the wallet?
What are the transaction fees?
Are the transactions private?
Where can I spend Sats or what can I buy?
What are the risks with using lightning (custodial)?
Why do people keep telling me to run my own node?
Why do tutorials recommend opening a channel with a minimum of 1M Sats (~$4K), while also saying that it is experimental and you shouldn't put too much into it?
For beginners - why choose a Lightning wallet over a Bitcoin wallet & the differences between the two?
For the intermediate - what are the trade-offs between having a custodial Lightning wallet versus a noncustodial one and the benefits for the two?
For the experienced - does it require to run a Lightning Node to have the best privacy for your Lightning Wallet? If so, what are the best practices when it comes to running a Lightning Node?
All of them. What is a wallet, is the first one.
What's the best channel management strategy for those interested in self custody.
Best meaning cheapest. Amount of sats to put on a channel, NB of channels and best nodes to connect to
I couldn't understand channel capacity and "rebalancing" for a long ass time. Believe it was nostr:npub1s33sw6y2p8kpz2t8avz5feu2n6yvfr6swykrnm2frletd7spnt5qew252p who showed the hour glass visual that finally made it click for me.
