How to load up a mobile LN node wallet from onchain address
Ok today we will talk about a practical case that many users are asking. Will take as example a wonderful mobile node wallet as Blixt. Here you can read more about it: Blixt website - also with realtime web demo wallet Blixt presentation guide Blixt features Blixt guides Blixt FAQ page
Apart from regular opening LN channels in Blixt, sometimes users want to just load up existing channels from onchain address. For the moment Blixt doesn't have an internal way to swap funds onchain<->LN, but is considered for next releases.
So how we can do it?

Use case scenario:
  • you already have 2-3-4 LN channels in Blixt.
  • those channels are almost empty and you need more liquidity on LN to make some payments.
  • you do not want to close the existing channels and open more.
  • you have funds in an onchain address or you just buy from an exchange a small amount and want to withdraw it into a LN wallet.

Steps to do:
  1. Go to http://deezy.io, select swap onchain to LN
  2. Put the amount, pay it from your onchain address
  3. Provide the LN invoice from your Blixt wallet as destination
Done! Now you have your sats directly into your Blixt LN channels. This is also a good way for privacy. Lightning is so awesome!

RECTIFICATION: Deezy.io is only LN to onchain!
My mistake, I was thinking about all other swaps services like Boltz, FixedFloat, ZigZag, RoboSats etc and I write only about Deezy. Was too late to modify the post.
