I heard from people they had their channels force-closed and I also saw the fees involved so never really considered using Phoenix myself. Watching your video, I became interested to read up on it tho 👍
Still seems quite complicated to understand all the workings and fees but it's nice to see the UI makes it simple to use it as quick means of payment.
People actually recommended it to me saying it was private but in their FAQ it says:
The current version of Phoenix offers no advantage regarding privacy over existing, hosted, custodial wallets. We (ACINQ) know the final destination and amount of payments.
Do you have experience with Zeus wallet in terms of ease of use, privacy and self custody? They say it's actually private and also simple to use tho I'm not sure as it says you have to connect to a ln node yourself to start off.
