I would like to ask if someone knows how to use eclair lightning wallet I only have receiving address which is on-chain but when clicking the lightning it shows no address but it shows "Please open a Lightning channel to receive payments over lightning" when I go to channels it shows no channels now I tried to click the random node but it looks no channel is generated.

Sorry to ask it this is my first time to use a very confused wallet.

Eclair Lightning Network wallet does not allow you to control on-chain funds directly from the app. I am quite sure you had to configure it so that it could connect to your Bitcoin Core instance. Use the receiving address generated by your Bitcoin Core wallet.

You have to deposit BTC to open a channel. go to open a ln channel after youve deposited some btc (like 0.003 if i remember right)  after youve opened a channel you should be able to generate invoices you can close the channel and get your BTC back (720 blocks or so).

eclair is cool and non but a more entry level wallet would be bitlum.io's wallet/browser extension.
