Simulate your first Lightning transaction on the Bitcoin regtest network Part 1 (MacOS)

If I connect a personal wallet to my Bitcoin Lightning node, do I have to open a channel?
If you want multiple users, you'll need multiple node instances. LNbits (mentioned by /u/sos755) does not implement this. Rather, it simply abstracts the funds associated with a single node into multiple logical accounts. This means that the node administrator still has underlying control of all funds associated with the node. See this GitHub discussion for a bit more info: https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/issues/2652

I have a dedicated LN seed phrase on a metal seed storage and would like to import it into an LN wallet + would like to have a basic backup of LN data on an encrypted cloud = Which wallet can handle this? Any advice? Note: I don’t want to run an LN node right now.
LND doesn’t use BIP39 mnemonics. https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/blob/master/aezeed/README.md

Advice/suggestions on running a BTC node (w/ lnd) on a Mac Mini 2018
Both Bitcoin Core and LND have binaries available for macOS, for example. I have not seen an actual guide to set everything up on macOS tho. It's quite similar to Linux honestly.
-
How do you default LND to use Taproot and enable RBF (for on-chain transactions)?
As for taproot change addresses, this has been the default behaviour since version 0.15.5. Just update your lnd and you're all set.

Taproot watch only in blue wallet
BlueWallet does not support Taproot, see https://github.com/BlueWallet/BlueWallet/issues/3880.
- coin base wallet UTXO

cex.io is holding my funds with no reason
Thus you will import the seed into a better wallet like https://bluewallet.io that can sign the transaction
-
Test transaction failed?
just use BlueWallet - https://bluewallet.io/ :-) I think it is easier than sparrow

F21 A guy wants to tip me in bitcoin.... Idk where to start 😅
If $100 or more, there are some good suggestions like BlueWallet (https://bluewallet.io/).

Is bluewallet the way to go here?
Exactly this. Blockstream Jade hardware wallet used with Sparrow wallet on a laptop with linux, to make transactions. Then Bluewallet for a watch-only wallet on your phone device.
-
Why is it so difficult to pair Jade to the Green app?
I also use my blockstream jade airgapped with sparrow wallet on a linux laptop which I have been extremely happy with. You can also use BlueWallet for phone.
