The Demise of Blue Wallet

Hi, I ended up going for Breez wallet, super smooth and no problems yet. Once I get faster broadband I will get my node running and swap it all over for self-custody and maybe back to Blue wallet. I will see how it goes. Thanks for the recommendation though. Phoenix was on my list and I may yet go there.

Hi Darthcoin, thank you for the information, it looks really useful and is exactly what I was looking for. I have zapped you on your web site

Blue Wallet will no longer be supporting Lightning (from what I understand). Probably the best feature of Blue Wallet was its ability to hold both a Lightning wallet and BTC wallet side by side, allowing you to move BTC onto the Lightning network. The only other wallet that I am aware of that does this is Muun Wallet.
For the most part I have had success with Muun Wallet, so this should be the end of the story? But no. The problem I find with it, is that it will make random decisions about transferring your sats on Lightning or BTC and with it some unexpected fees. It was for this reason I preferred Blue Wallet as these decisions had to be made by you rather than the software. Arguably Muun wallet is easier for newbie, with everything taken care of.
My purpose for this post was to for people to suggest replacements for Blue Wallet that are 'manual' like Blue Wallet and not automatic like Muun Wallet and importantly allow you to cross BTC over to Lightning. Thanks

If you check out this guy on Youtube,

He explains exactly how to do this. That's where I got it from, I'm sure there are others.

Well the title says it all really. Is it possible, if so how can it be done? Thanks
