5 sats \ 7 replies \ @happy OP 23 Sep 2022 \ parent \ on: Which lightning network implementation is the most stable bitcoin
Thank you for the detailed explanation
Are there any mobile wallets that support CLN?,
I happen to read it supports BOLT12.
Yes, you have Spark, Zeus and Fully Noded.
I am still wondering why on Earth, Blockstream still didn't include LN on their Green wallet?
BTW, I wrote an extensive article about LN wallets comparison here.

I tried Zeus wallet, but it requires to run a self hosted lightning node.
Is there a way a I can connect to a trusted node
reply
I think you still don't understand how LN works.
There's no such thing as "trusted" node for LN, other than YOURS.
Also Zeus can work with LNDHUB wallets/accounts (lntxbot, lnbits), so no need for a home node.
If you do not want / can't run your own home node, then you will have to use a semi-custodial wallet for LN or use Blixt, Breez, SBW, Electrum, that are LN nodes on your own mobile.
Please read and pay attention to all details I wrote in that article about LN wallet.

I've been looking to run lightning node myself in a RaspberryPI, but most of them require the user to run a full bitcoin node.
Is there a way to avoid that, and if possible use mempool.space API's as a replacement for Bitcoin node
reply
You are still talking about many different things without understanding how these things works.
most of them require the user to run a full bitcoin node.
A desktop LN node cannot run without a full bitcoin node!
Yes, nevertheless there are LN nodes that can run with a remote full bitcoin node, as I just mention to you (but seems you do not pay attention): Blixt, Breez, Electrum, SBW. But those are mobile LN nodes, except Electrum and Blixt (Mac) that are also desktop light LN nodes.
use mempool.space API's as a replacement for Bitcoin node
mempool have nothing to dowith replacement of a bitcoin node.
mempool READS the data from a bitcoin node. And is not really necessary to run it.
Man, you really have to read more about how nodes and LN nodes works.
Start here, read every day something new:

Sorry, I was confused with a few stuff in LN.
Thanks for your patience

Patience is key. I don't mind answering your questions, but is good when you have a good base of knowledge (no need for advanced one), from where you can ask specific questions.
Otherwise we have to start from the beginning explaining and that will be quite wasting time, when there's so much documentation out there to read.
Read, learn the base and start slowly advancing.
