RE: V4VApp didn't work last night for a couple of hours: here's why

Hi @brianoflondon
I wanted to start using v4v.app to send HBD to BTC via lightning, and from there to an exchange. I installed Atomic Wallet, but I can't figure out how to create a lightning invoice, or if it is the right wallet at all...
I have added LIGHT as a custom token, but only ERC20. I guess I will need it on BTC, for which I couldn't find anything...
Noobs questions? For sure! Maybe you can point me in the right direction.

Sort:  

Lightning is not another token built on Bitcoin. Lightning is something completly different from ERC20 tokens on Ethereum.

If you want to take Lightning out as BTC look for wallets called Muun or Breez. Both of these will receive Lightning (with relatively low fees) and then let you send a Bitcoin transaction.

This process isn't free but it is relatively low fee.

Lightning is best when it stays as Lightning and is sent around that way but ultimately every Sat which is lightning exists as Bitcoin.

Thanks for the answer, I start to understand ;)
