So Frens and Plebs,
I've orange-pilled some friends and they are moving some significant savings to bitcoin. They also want to begin using bitcoin for daily spending, and would like to set up a lighting wallet. Here I am, supposedly the "expert" helping them, and I really don't have any good recommendations for them because I haven't used lightning very much at all...
I have used Wallet of Satoshi for a while for modest amounts of BTC, which was great; but that's no longer an option for them. I like Minibits, because it seems to work well for both Cashu and Lightning, but I don't know of a good way to fund the wallet with lightning SATs...
I am beginning to learn about setting up a lightning node, which I fully intend to do on my Start One server running Start9... however, I find the whole lightning setup thing rather intimidating...
Bottom Line Question:
Any suggestions for simply funding a Minibits wallet with a modest amount of bitcoin for a reasonable fee? Say, around 200k sats?
Thanks in advance for any "Quick and Dirty" suggestions, as I'm going to visit my friends in a couple of hours...
