Can I change the Bitcoin wallet connected to my account?

Overview

Yes. You can change the Bitcoin wallet used to receive payouts from your Ridgeline account.

While Ridgeline recommends Pura Vida Bitcoin for the simplest payout experience and lowest available payout thresholds, you may choose another supported Lightning or on-chain Bitcoin wallet.

How to change your wallet

To update your payout wallet:

1. Sign in to your Ridgeline account.

2. Open your wallet or payout settings.

3. Select the type of wallet you want to connect.

4. Enter or confirm the new wallet address.

5. Carefully review the information before saving your changes.

Ridgeline may require additional verification before approving a new wallet address. Wallet changes apply to future payouts and may take a reasonable amount of time to process.

Can I use a different wallet?

Yes. You may use another supported Lightning wallet or an on-chain Bitcoin wallet.

Keep in mind that other wallets may have:

• Higher minimum payout thresholds

• Higher network or transaction fees

• Longer processing or confirmation times

• Different address or invoice requirements

What happens to pending Net Mining Output when I change wallets?

Changing your wallet does not cause you to lose the Net Mining Output calculated under your contract.

Once the wallet change has been processed, future eligible payouts will be sent to the newly designated address. A payout already submitted or processed may still be sent to the wallet address that was active when the payout began.

Before changing your wallet

Bitcoin transactions generally cannot be reversed. Before saving a new wallet, confirm that:

• The wallet supports the selected payout method

• You selected the correct network

• The wallet address or Lightning information is complete and accurate

• You have access to the wallet

• The wallet can receive the amount being sent

If you provide an incorrect, expired, or incompatible wallet address, Ridgeline may be unable to recover the Bitcoin after it is transmitted.

The bottom line

You are free to choose the supported Bitcoin wallet that best fits your needs.

For most customers, Pura Vida Bitcoin offers the simplest Ridgeline experience, the lowest available payout thresholds, and fast, efficient Lightning payouts. Customers who prefer another wallet may connect a supported Lightning or on-chain Bitcoin address through their account settings.
