Hi all, I downloaded and created seed for my self-custodial BTC wallet ELECTRUM. I also have an Alby wallet.

But when I go to Electrum > Wallet > Information

I can see, my Lightning Node ID. But when I try to send some SATS using Alby wallet, by putting LN ID, in LN URL. Alby says NaN Sats transferred.

Am I misunderstood here? Is LN URL same as LN ID or am I missing something? Also I have $8 worth of BTC in my Electrum wallet. If I add SATS via LN from Alby to Electrum. Will it merge into my existing BTC wallet in Electrum or stay separate as SATs. I am confused.

Pls SPECIFY "LN wallet" or "onchain wallet" not just "BTC wallet" there will be more layers being built and each of those still hasn't interopable from one to another

I can see, my Lightning Node

That node id is specifically Electrum LN node ID ( there are lnd node id, cln node id, eclair node i, kmp, ldkrust etc) each implementation will have different node id, even if you derived it from the same seed ( based from my exp )

Lnurl is complicated, long & boring string that could be used to make invoice, make withdrawal request, key logging etc etc
Example : lnbc69420skksjxnxnxkxksj69420jdjxjxbxndjxjzn69420

AFAIK you can't self custody on Alby unless you have a 24/7 routing node. Just use their custodial service rn

Lnurl ≠ ln id

Also I have $8 worth of BTC in my Electrum wallet

Are those sats onchain or on LN ?

Sats & bitcoin are the same, sats are just smaller fraction of a whole bitcoin, 1 bitcoin = 100.000.000 sats

LOL noooo.

I am confused.

You are confused because YOU DO NOT READ GUIDES!
Please stop being a shitcoiner, only shitcoiners do not read... bitcoiners read and build.

Man why you don't read first the guides BEFORE you start using apps?
Are so many guides out there... here is one.
https://coincharge.io/en/electrum-lightning-wallet/
https://duckduckgo.com/?hps=1&q=how+to+use+electrum+lightning&ia=web

But please, before start using all these apps, read the damn guides from my substack to understand what is LN and how to use it. I wrote a shit ton of them!
