In this article, we’ll dive into how to setup a wallet on Bitcoin Lightning Network.  For this tutorial, we will create a wallet using the Wallet of Satoshi. Known for its simplicity and accessibility, Wallet of Satoshi allows users to set up a Lightning wallet in a straightforward way. Despite its custodial model, which means some control over assets is given up, its ease of use makes it ideal for newcomers. There are other non-custodial alternatives such as Muun wallet and Electrum.

tapping on “Next” and typing it. In this wallet, there are no seed phrases or keys to manage. Since it is a custodial application, all the Bitcoin you see in your wallet is actually held in their wallets. This makes it an easy app to use, but remember, you don’t have full control over the Bitcoins you buy. After you receive the code, type it in and tap “Next.” Now, choose a username for your Bitcoin Lightning Address and tap “Submit.” If you tap on the top left corner, you will find various settings and features to explore. For example, you can change the app’s theme or the fiat currency in which your balance is displayed. In the bottom menu, the first icon lets you access the AI bot for any questions. The second icon is to fund your wallet with Bitcoin, whether by transferring from another wallet, buying within the app, or earning from different platforms. It is worth noting that buying Bitcoin within the app is more expensive than alternatives like exchanges such as Binance or Kraken. The third icon is for spending your Bitcoin on different platforms, and the last icon shows all your recent transactions. To receive Bitcoin in your wallet, you need to create a Lightning Invoice. There are two ways to do this. The first way requires you to specify the amount you want to receive by tapping “Receive.” The second way lets the sender specify the amount; tap the @ at the top right for this method. Once the sender scans the QR code, they will need to enter the amount to send. If you want to send Bitcoin, you can also use both methods, paying invoices or specifying the amount yourself. Once you tap on “Send”, you will see that you can scan a QR code, paste the invoice or type the address. Welcome to the world of the Lightning Network!

Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025.

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.

Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
