Tried to set up a lightning wallet on blue wallet. It says connect to LNDhub. Must you have an existing node address compared to Muun wallet which automatically allows you to set up a lightning wallet without the need to have a node.

BE AWARE: They are still in beta with that LDK. Use it only as experiment for the moment.

Not just beta but they have not updated LDK in about a year and it is now running at a version with a known security issue that results in loss of funds by a malicious node.

If you are starting out in lightning, I would suggest Phoenix Wallet instead of Bluewallet.

Thanks. I started with Muun which is fairly straightforward right. Did not realize there are different levels of lightning wallets in terms of their usability.

Unstable ? How about Bitkit's LDK, does it reliable enough ?

It's a year old with known security vulnerabilities that result in loss of funds. Bluewallet has abandoned their ldk support as far as I'm concerned.

Thanks for letting me know, so Bitkit is the last option ?
I'm looking for mobile LN signer that can open channel to any LSP + uses BIP39 seed
Sadly OBW is no longer maintained, it has potential

There's lots of wallets out there that meet those requirements. Including mutiny which is ldk as well.
