Hi! Can I create my own lightning address using phoenix wallet? I have my own domain and VPS but no node. All the tutorials I have seen require setting up a node. Can it be done without it?

I'm not sure. I've been using nodeless.io as I'm not super tech-savvy. So instead of my LN address being myname@abccorp.com, it's abccorp@nodeless.io

reply

How's that working out for you? I'm trying to orange pill a low tech business and nodeless might be the way to go.

reply

Super simple. I've really been enjoying it however, I don't have a tonne of interest from clients in paying via Lightning.

I'm not a dev, so aside from running a node, I feel it is my duty to USE Bitcoin wherever I can, to support the network.

reply

Zaplocker.com gives you a lightning address without a node and without the server having custody. But you'll have to set up a lightning address forwarder if you want it to use your own domain.

A guide for you here with all info about LN address https://darthcoin.substack.com/p/getting-started-lightning-address

Can I create my own lightning address using phoenix wallet?

No. Phoenix is not providing such option, but still is providing a LNURL, that is more or less the same as a LN address.

reply

Is there perhaps an alternative to phoenix that is self custodial and has the ability to create an ln address? I want to have a permanent address instead of generating lnurl every transaction

reply

Did you read the guide I just sent you? All the info there, all the options, all types

reply

I have read and the only options I have are:

  • running node and configuring the address server
  • use the custodial wallet that will generate an address for me
reply

Yes. You understand correctly.

I think will better for him to use bitcoinfax as LN address ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

reply

Mofo, don't give me ideas.

reply

could be very interesting

I will repeat read the introduction part of the guide and ask yourself https://darthcoin.substack.com/p/getting-started-lightning-address#%C2%A7why-you-should-use-different-types-of-ln-addresses

That is the most important question your should ask yourself.

reply

Ok, so I should just use ln address from custodial wallet to accept public payments and then transfer to my private wallet?

reply

read again, you missed a lot.

reply

another option is lnbits but it is expensive

reply

I gave you all the options available, but I see that you still struggle to understand the basics facts that I explained in the beginning of the guide. Please read again and THINK.

reply

most of the above options require their own node to generate invoices

I guess that the part after the @ depends on the provider.

For example, in Coinos.io you can create your LN address and it will be: in my case criptopanas@coinos.io or in Stacker News username@stacker.news....and so on.
