Yes you can get Lightning from Hive very easily with v4v.app
If you want actual main chain Bitcoin, the Muun or Breez wallets are quite good at converting Lightning to or from main chain BTC. Breez in particular lets you hold the keys. Unless you actually want to pull the Lightning out to BTC, it's probably just as good leaving Lightning on Breez until you have enough to justify a main chain transaction.
If you need more help let me know.
What’s the first step? where do I send the hive for the first step? Is there a v4v.app for dummies post? :)
nice thing about this is if you have a lightning wallet there is 0 need for a for dummies tutorial. just go to v4v.app pass the invoice, pick what you want to exchange (hive or hbd) sign the transaction with keychain and that is it.
