@@ -62,16 +62,20 @@ Which wallets can I use that sync with my Embassy Bitcoin node?
---------------------------------------------------------------
The only currently available external options are FullyNoded and Specter. Within the Embassy, BTCPayServer is available, which offers a wallet that is automatically connected to your Embassy's Bitcoin Core node. Keep in mind that this first and foremost a payment gateway, rather than a personal wallet. Unforutnately, this is still not a popular functionality in Bitcoin wallets. We are in communication with several wallet developers about adding Tor full node support.
What Lightning wallets can I use that sync with my Embassy?
-----------------------------------------------------------
Spark, Zap, and Zeus.
Is BlueWallet an option?
------------------------
BlueWallet requires a separate backend service called LNDHub, which is not available on the Embassy at this time.
Is there a guide for connecting Specter Wallet to my Embassy?
-------------------------------------------------------------
There is. Please follow the integration guide `here <https://github.com/Start9Labs/bitcoind-wrapper/tree/master/docs/integrations/specter>`_ and select the tutorial based on your operating system.
More guides, particularly in video form, are forthcoming.

I want to use my hardware signer, such as Coldcard or Trezor, with my Embassy. How does this work?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You do not use hardware signers directly with your node. Hardware signers interface with wallets, and wallets interface with nodes.

@@ -127,6 +131,8 @@ How do I connect my Spark mobile app to the Embassy Spark server?
-----------------------------------------------------------------
To use a Spark client, you still need to have Spark installed on the Embassy (which ‘serves’ Spark). Then, under Properties, there is a "Pairing URL". The first part of this is the server URL, and the end portion of it is the access key.
Unfortunately, Spark cannot currently be used in Consulate. This issue is being tracked `here <https://github.com/Start9Labs/consulate-ios/issues/30>`_.
Are my addresses, channels, and balances all stored in LND or in RTL?
---------------------------------------------------------------------
This is all on LND, and RTL is just a GUI for accessing LND. On-chain balance is also part of the LND backup.

I'm having issues connecting to users or rooms in Matrix/Synapse, what can I do?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Most issues in Matrix will be due to improper setup, or tor connectivity issues. Please follow the directions in the Synapse web interface closely, and be sure that you have a good tor connection on the device you are trying to connect with.
Most issues in Matrix will be due to improper setup, or tor connectivity issues. Please follow the directions in the Synapse web interface closely, and be sure that you have a good tor connection on the device you are trying to connect with. As with all Tor addresses, make sure you are using http:// as a prefix (some apps will automatically prefix https://.
Please reach out to us if you are still unable to connect.
My Element desktop client stopped working after an OS update, what is happening?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you had to create a custom destkop shortcut, it is likely that this was reset with the system update, so you'll just need to remake it.
I don't see an answer to my question regarding a certain service. Is there more documentation?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
While we are intent on providing the most friendly experience possible to our customers, ultimately it will be impossible for Start9 to create documentation and tutorials for every service we make available on the Embassy. Each service *should* have its own documentation produced by the service developers themselves, and we will do our best keep track, consolidate, and link to it. Also, much of the reason good tutorials don't exist is simply because no one in the community has taken the time to produce it. If you come across something useful or write something up yourself, please let us know and we will promote it. Otherwise we will do our best to answer questions as they arise and gradually build out tutorials where they are lacking.
