I think as SN moves away from reliance on the custodial wallet, it would be good to post about experiences so far. This is all SN mobile PWA.
- Blixt works pretty well for receive only through an LN address. Just keep in mind that you have to access the lightning address by going to advanced settings and accessing the lightning box. From there it's simple.
- I tried connecting my Umbrel node via LNC through Lightning Terminal. I use LNC like this to connect my Zeus wallet and it works great. Unfortunately, Umbrel doesn't support https, which SN requires for this connection. I will try it on my start9 node. It should work fine, I hope.
- I tried connecting to SN through WebLN on my Blixt Wallet, since it has a lightning browser. I cannot figure out how to do this. I'm sure someone here can provide some insight.
- I tried connecting my node through NWC through an Oak Node app on Umbrel, but haven't succeeded yet. @ek is looking into it for me.
- I hooked up @supertestnet's new Bankify wallet https://stacker.news/items/647681/r/siggy47 with NWC for zapping. It worked, but this is an experimental wallet, so it's not a compete solution yet. It also is custodial and there's a risk of losing your sats. I only used a small amount to test. Still, the design makes it easy for non techies to use. I zapped a lot with it late last night. I forgot I was hooked up to it so I was my usual zap happy self, which may be the reason many zaps failed. However, some worked. It seems that the odds improved over WiFi as opposed to my graphene pixel data carrier.
That's it for now. Please post your experiences in reply, especially if you have one that works particularly well.
I have never drank or done drugs or used tobacco in my life. This was a result of seeing a lot of bad stuff in my family and at school, as well as on tv as a kid. Doc Gooden and Darryl Strawberry getting in trouble and falling off their career path for doing coke was a cautionary tale in the late 80's when I was just a little leaguer.
It was easy to see that even players who had it all could self destruct, and I just wanted to avoid that. I made a commitment to never let anything get in the way of my progress when I was 10 years old (1990) before I ever knew what straightedge was...I didn't even know about the punk rock angle until I was 15-16.
it was never trendy for me- I really wanted to succeed as a baseball player and that was the ultimate goal for me that led me to what I really wanted in life...as an 8 year old I saw success as:
cool house
porsches and ferraris
super hot wife
it was pretty simple that baseball was my best chance!
