0 sats \ 2 replies \ @TheBTCManual 28 Apr 2022 \ on: Why does everyone love Muun Wallet so much? bitcoin
I think each wallet targets a different niche, Muun is defs a noob wallet, and looking to strike the balance between both base chain and LN but removing the complexity for the user so you pay for that convenience, eventually, you learn if you want to save on your BTC experience you may want to migrate to a new wallet
Everyone values UX differently
I was a noob to LN when I started using Muun and I had such a terrible time with it. I couldn’t pay many people because it didn’t support empty invoices or LNURL-pay. Also as I used it more I noticed the fees creeping up, and waiting long times for LN payments to clear because it needed to wait for an on-chain confirmation.
I had a much better experience with Blixt Wallet. Everything was a lot more transparent while still being pretty easy to use. I learned a lot about LN using that wallet until I eventually felt comfortable enough to run a routing node.
Also honestly for noobs just looking to try LN with a few sats, it’s probably just best to stick with custodial wallets like CoinOS or Wallet of Satoshi, then move to a better non-custodial wallet once they want to really begin using LN.

I also had a similar experience my first LN wallet was LN bits and Zap and establishing channels and getting inbound liquidity was such a pain and documentation online wasn't great.
I've never heard of Blixit thanks for the tip, i've added it to our list of LN wallets
I also recommend new users to WOS instead and to use a LN exchange to swap in and out to their custodial wallet, it seems to be the easiest I have found so far for new peeps.
