does it win? I am running Phoenix and the UX is perfect, while all the Cashu wallets are complete garbage
Discussion
It's great that the UX works for you. The point here (as i understand it) is not a UX thing but more a privacy thing. A mint knows nothing of its users. It just receives sats from some lightning address, gives tokens for it, then when they get redeemed it sends those sats to some different lightning address.
Phoenix requires you to fill out some personal data (though i heard you could fake it), but it still centralizes a lot around a single service and could therefore easily be targeted and strongarmed by government agencies to give up all data people provided then with.
There can be many ecash mints, there is only one Phoenix.
thank you for your very informed comment, except you got it all wrong, Phoenix doesn't ask for any information
You're right, i somehow confused phoenix with primal.
Yet it is still a custodial wallet like WoS or Blink. They offer superior experiences because for them there's a commercial benefit in it. Also these wallets have been around much longer than any wallet that supports ecash.
In fact phoenix could easily integrate ecash and you could have the best of both worlds.
you have failed to google "Phoenix" again or is this a weird debate technique in which you just say something absurd in order to distract the opponent?
Phoenix is not custodial.
Yes i somehow made the assumption that it did not have a built-in lightning node and drew my conclusions too early based on the fact that i got a lightning wallet too immediately up-on opening the app so i only knew about zeus. I actually learned that and it was indeed obvious from a single search to confirm that. I'm sorry i wasted your time with my assumption.
I will read more into how it works before i make a fool out of myself again. 🥴
