I see very few users that know about Electrum wallet supporting Lightning Network. I want to bring this to your knowledge: Electrum is one of the oldest and powerful wallets ever existed in Bitcoin. And yes, for some years now, it supports also LN.

And what is also nice is that is available for ALL platforms, mobile and desktop.

Here is a short demo how to start using Electrum with LN channels. Give it a try !

I use Electrum on mobile and desktop. However, I have only used LN on mobile.

Thank you Darth. Can we use it for SN?

SN doesn’t have a way to connect electrum directly to it but it you don’t have a wallet connected or the necessary balance to post/comment you will be presented with a lightning invoice that can be paid with any lightning wallet including electrum

No. Is SN your only place where you use BTC LN?

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @IamSINGLE 16 Oct

Yes, actually. In India and especially to the remote areas there's absolutely no adoption of Bitcoin. I'm not on Nostr so that's another thing.

Electrum is a must & always my go-to tool if anything goes wrong with other wallets or transactions!

And yes, Electrum LN need way more awareness...

Thanks for the demo. Electrum LN isn't mentioned or discussed enough IMO.

I am considering to write a step by step guide about using it with LN. Is a very underrated wallet app, but yet very powerful.

How is it going?

its good. the trampoline channels i think are effectively LSPs you can open channels to. so comes with LSP routing fees. but now i just turned off trampoline channels and trying with opening channels manually. it just...works really cool to have an on chain wallet that is so feature-rich to seamlessly cooperate with a node in the phone lightning wallet. feels like what blockstreams green wallet wishes it could be 😂

Yes is own LN implementation. On mobile also is working really smooth, even that is not so fancy UI like other apps. When I use a mobile app I do not look first how fancy it is, but how stable and strong basic features have.
