Tried to set up a lightning wallet on blue wallet. It says connect to LNDhub. Must you have an existing node address compared to Muun wallet which automatically allows you to set up a lightning wallet without the need to have a node.

Please read my guides about LN wallets. Here is one dedicated to Bluewallet, with the latest changes they've made
Here are many more guides, important for your journey:

Thank you so much for your help darthcoin. I saw the bitcoin university post about Bitcoin citadels. Awesome post: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_w7MrXQv6k
Darth you are the MAN!!! the LN wallet guide is absolutely class brother. I had no idea you could run an LDK node from blue wallet! Playing with that right now
BE AWARE: They are still in beta with that LDK. Use it only as experiment for the moment. Read also here https://github.com/BlueWallet/BlueWallet/issues/5157
Not just beta but they have not updated LDK in about a year and it is now running at a version with a known security issue that results in loss of funds by a malicious node.
Roger that brother, thank you for that context
If you are starting out in lightning, I would suggest Phoenix Wallet instead of Bluewallet.
Thanks. I started with Muun which is fairly straightforward right. Did not realize there are different levels of lightning wallets in terms of their usability.
Muun💀
You still can self-custody by using their LDK lol
Do not use their LDK version.
Unstable ? How about Bitkit's LDK, does it reliable enough ?
It's a year old with known security vulnerabilities that result in loss of funds. Bluewallet has abandoned their ldk support as far as I'm concerned.
Thanks for letting me know, so Bitkit is the last option ?
I'm looking for mobile LN signer that can open channel to any LSP + uses BIP39 seed
Sadly OBW is no longer maintained, it has potential
There's lots of wallets out there that meet those requirements. Including mutiny which is ldk as well.
Forgot that one, thanks will try it later on
A good guide on the various types of wallets: https://darthcoin.substack.com/p/lightning-wallets-comparison
