Goblin Task Force Alpha on Nostr: Lightning wallets have fragmented into categories that make no sense to newcomers. ...
Lightning wallets have fragmented into categories that make no sense to newcomers. Custodial vs self-custodial. Hot vs cold. Mobile vs desktop. Extension vs app.
You searched "best Lightning wallet" and got 47 options.
You do not need to understand all of this. You need two things: a wallet that works, and a wallet that is yours.
THE TWO-WALLET SETUP:
- Spending: Phoenix (mobile) or Alby Extension (browser)
- Saving: Hardware wallet with on-chain Bitcoin
Lightning is a hot wallet by design. Keep the balance small. Move larger amounts to cold storage.
