Let's Use The Bitcoin Lightning Network On Mobile

When the Bitcoin network is so congested the transaction fees are very high. In fact, for me to do a 15$ Transaction I had to pay 3$ in fees. That's too much for me. So I started to look for ways to reduce fees and I learned about the Bitcoin Lightning network. With the Lightning network, you can do lightning-fast transactions with very low fees. So to use the lightning network you need a wallet that supports the lightning network. For this tutorial, I will use the "Wallet of Satoshi" Bitcoin wallet. Just a heads up. Since this wallet is a custodial wallet it's a good idea to only store a small amount of money in it. I suggest you not put your investment money into it. Use this wallet for everyday spending.

Alright, let's start with downloading and installing the wallet. You can click the following link and download the wallet.

In this app, there is no real setup like in normal Bitcoin wallets because this is the world's simplest Bitcoin Lightning wallet. First, you can click the big start button appearing at the first opening of the app or you can read the disclosure document. I suggest you read it first. After reading it you can click the ''Start" button in the app. And you will see your balance as 0 satoshis like this.

Now if you click receive you can see your wallet addresses. The email you see in the app now can be used to receive lightning payments from websites such as Coinpayu. You can't change this address since it is given to you by the app.

Now let's register on the app. This can help you to restore your wallet. Click on the 3 lines in the upper right-hand corner of the screen. Then click the red "Login/Register" button. (If you don't see the red button just tap on the bottom of the screen while you are on this menu. Then it should appear.) On the next page type your own email address and click "ok". After that, they will send you two random login words to your email inbox. So check that email and type those two words on the next page. Now you have successfully registered on the app.
