I see very few users that know about Electrum wallet supporting Lightning Network.
I want to bring this to your knowledge: Electrum is one of the oldest and powerful wallets ever existed in Bitcoin. And yes, for some years now, it supports also LN.
And what is also nice is that is available for ALL platforms, mobile and desktop.
Here is a short demo how to start using Electrum with LN channels. Give it a try !
Thanks for the demo. Electrum LN isn't mentioned or discussed enough IMO.
I am considering to write a step by step guide about using it with LN.
Is a very underrated wallet app, but yet very powerful.
id love to see this, is electrum its own lightning implementation? Looked smooth in the vid
i gave this a try, opened a couple channels. works well, i have questions but if you are working something up ill wait as im sure youll answer most of my Qs
🤙
How is it going?
its good. the trampoline channels i think are effectively LSPs you can open channels to. so comes with LSP routing fees. but now i just turned off trampoline channels and trying with opening channels manually. it just...works really cool to have an on chain wallet that is so feature-rich to seamlessly cooperate with a node in the phone lightning wallet. feels like what blockstreams green wallet wishes it could be 😂
Yes is own LN implementation. On mobile also is working really smooth, even that is not so fancy UI like other apps.
When I use a mobile app I do not look first how fancy it is, but how stable and strong basic features have.
wild, ill have to read up on it. i always assumed that was some custodial bull when i use electrum wallet.
And is having nice features as: integrated swap, MPP, trampoline channels.
Really underrated wallet app.
I use Electrum on mobile and desktop. However, I have only used LN on mobile.
Exactly. On mobile do not make sense only onchain.
Electrum is a must & always my go-to tool if anything goes wrong with other wallets or transactions!
And yes, Electrum LN need way more awareness...
Thank you Darth.
Can we use it for SN?
SN doesn’t have a way to connect electrum directly to it but it you don’t have a wallet connected or the necessary balance to post/comment you will be presented with a lightning invoice that can be paid with any lightning wallet including electrum
I've used this before and it works well.
Thanks
No. Is SN your only place where you use BTC LN?
Yes, actually.
In India and especially to the remote areas there's absolutely no adoption of Bitcoin. I'm not on Nostr so that's another thing.
Hello, I recently started using Bitcoin, thank you for sharing such valuable information. I still don't know much about Lightning.
