Shockwallet is great and easy to use with the bootstrap LND service offered by Lighting.pub. It's custodial service.

The most powerful and sovereign way to use ShockWallet is to install Lightning.pub in a Linux machine. This is the process Darthcoin is commenting on.

There's no issue on using Shockwallet app on mobile phones, is also available on the app stores and as apk. This is the easier and faster way to get a wallet setup. It's easily competing with rizful/w, coinos, alby and others ready-to-use kwc-free custodial wallets.

I find much more interesting the sovereign option, something that all other wallets mentioned before do not offer, for obvious reasons. A direct competitor could be Zeus that also offers both options to its users.

My suggestion is, if you have any machine running Linux, try to install Lightning.pub, it's one line cli command to have a lightning node up and running in less than two minutes:

wget -qO- https://deploy.lightning.pub | bash

@justin_shocknet the idea of providing a QR code at the end of the installation is a must. It would make life much easier. And also agree on creating some documentation with few basic cli commands to stop, restart and sync.
