Title: Tutorial: Muun wallet for easy payment of Lightning invoices
Post by: bitrefill on August 06, 2020, 06:03:32 PM


Muun is an excellent Bitcoin wallet project and team based in Argentina. Muun wallet is an innovative hybrid Bitcoin wallet which lets you make standard onchain Bitcoin payments and also let's you make instant & cheap Lightning Network payments, using Submarine Swaps.

Muun is the easiet way for anyone to start using Lightning Network, since it requires zero configuration of any nodes, or opening/closing & funding payment channels. You just scan the LN invoice like any other QR code or paste it in like an address and pay. Muun does have the limitation of not allowing you to receive LN payments, yet, although the feature is in development.

You can find Muun here:

I was planning to try this wallet, but after electrum wallet added the lightning option, the wallets would need a lot of upgrades to compete with them.
The wallet has supported the lightning network since 2018, but there are not many updates during this year, which would be bad for those who want to download the wallet.
I have read about a lot of bugs that are not handled so it is dangerous to download them especially since the number of downloads is very small.

Why are you guys promoting this wallet much? I saw promotion of it in your telegram channel as well.

Hello, half of the Customer support load we have is due to problems that are inherent to onchain wallets, mainly amount errors (partial payments/overpayments) and timing issues (invoice expired due exchange delaying payment, tx taking too long to confirm). Lightning solves this problems, but most people doesn't want to have a dedicated wallet for Lightning, Muun is the only onchain wallet that can pay Lightning in the same way you pay onchain, so you can purchase instantly at Bitrefill, without issues, and paying 10% of the fees you pay onchain or less.

We are not affiliated in any way with Muun, we just want to improve the experience of our customers.

I heavily suggest the Phoenix Lightning wallet as well. I've started a thread[1] about it months ago, and haven't found that much disadvantages besides a bit of privacy issues.

And yes people, start using lightning.
