It would be a bonus, but I’m actually fine with just having Alby or something for a smaller zap fund

Ok that makes it easier lol. Zeus is the only self-custodial option right now that can receive zaps, short of running your own full always-on Lightning node. Phoenix or Breez (another popular node in phone) are tried and true self custodial lightning wallet apps with reasonable fees. Breez is my personal favorite. Been using it for a couple years with very few issues.

I haven’t used Mutiny because of the channel open fees and all the troubles I’ve seen people post about force closes. I’ve only used Zeus (node in phone option) a little bit, and while I think it’s good, I just haven’t used it enough to know how much I trust it not to give me issues.

When I say “reasonable fees” I mean for self custodial wallets. With any of these you should expect to pay more in fees than with custodial options, especially when you need more liquidity and they have to open new channels.

Yeah that makes sense…. I like the sound of “tried and true”, maybe I’ll check out Breez.

Although I don’t mind tinkering, I don’t feel like doing it will my main Lightning wallet, ya know?

As much as something can be tried and true with lightning 😅 They’ve just been a few years, have good active development and support, and have shown to be as reliable as you could/should expect. Doesn’t mean issues don’t happen with any of them.
