Looks like @Phoenix Wallet is pulling out of the US. If you're sick of jumping through hoops due to the whims of the tyrants in your government, check this one out. Here's how to avoid app stores entirely and use the @OpenSecret PWA in 5 minutes flat, including migrating your funds. LFG.

For all those 'mericans that are in "panic mode" using Phoenix, here is what you should do: 1. Save you phoenix seed. 2. Uninstall from app store (because is linked to your account) 3. Install app from their github, without any fucking app store

Phoenix is a self-custodial Bitcoin wallet using Lightning to send/receive payments. - ACINQ/phoenix
 4. Restore from seed. Done, be happy and ignore all the shit. If you still use an apple shit, drop it now and take an android, de-googled and do those steps. If you still want to use your fancy apple crap... sorry but you have been warned.

Tried using Mutiny couple of days ago and found it painful. Wallet connections weren’t syncing across web app and iOS app well. Lightning payments wouldn’t route but I could receive fine. It’s a great idea but I know it’s still WIP. Look forward to coming back to it though.

I have had a great time using @OpenSecret , but my channel was force closed right before the halving. All my sats disappeared for a few days then showed up again on-chain. This is a big issue for me because for a few days I didn’t have any money, then unknowingly paid a huge fee when the sats moved on-chain.

I still carry an old iPhone as the weaning process continues, but am so glad I got a pixel and installed #GrapheneOS. No longer locked into any app store for FOSS, and can just use an apk.

so if a federation is added, you will not have to use channels at all and will bypass those liquidity fees?

Can you use your own node with Mutiny Wallet?

Hey Ben, what’s your current lightning setup? I ask because I know you cover lightning nodes, mutiny, WOW, Muun, Phoenix, Zeus, etc. but wondering what’s you personal daily driver, your favorite setup. I’m guessing: Self-hosted Lightning node + Zeus? Maybe alby also connected to the same node?
