Great guide. Thanks! I don't want to speak for everyone, but I'm at the point where I have many options to choose from in connecting a wallet to SN. Will there come a time when we will be able to rank them as options re reliability? There seems to be a general consensus that NWC is most reliable. LNC has its problems, as I have experienced first hand. I have little knowledge of LNbits, but I have heard negative things from some. You seem to have a wide range of knowledge. Do you have preferences yet?

Yes, NWS has been mentioned in the comments of all guides, maybe because us the new one ad there's a lot of excitement around it. LCN depends on the node, to make it work the node need to be well-connected, specifically to SN is probably worth just opening a channel to SN node and rebalance it as needed.

Personally I still not have a preference yet, I am still testing as I write these guides and specifically the connections with SN to, as you said, rank the options and evaluate the most reliable. Every case is different anyway, hope this guides will provide a good point to other stackers to test and provide feedback.

I'll be interested to know what you have heard about LNbits, this post sounds the right place to open the conversation and share our thoughts.

Thanks for the reply. I think we are all learning a lot from you. Re LNbits, as I said, I have never used it and know nothing about it. I know recently a few stackers here spoke about it negatively. I don't recall who. I hope people chime in.

I'll search around, just for curiosity

lnbits is awesome but only usable over tor from a start9 for now, so far i have never been able to successfully connect my lnbits wallet to stacker news, the concensus when i share seems to just be tor connectivity issues.
