Zaps are slower on Mutiny for me too compared to when I used my own node, I just figured that's the cost of the LSP
Receiving zaps via mutiny.plus LNAddress feature has worked well for me. I tried to use nostr:npub1mutnyacc9uc4t5mmxvpprwsauj5p2qxq95v4a9j0jxl8wnkfvuyque23vg for sending zaps in Damus for a few days and gave up.
Mutiny NWC auto approve didn’t work and the manual approval process is painfully slow. The best self custody Damus experience I’ve had is using nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 with my own node. Zaps with Zeus take 1-3 seconds. Zaps with Mutiny take like 10-20 seconds each (if they even go through).
I love the work the mutiny team has done. I just want to give honest feedback on my experiences so far.

I’m not using the LSP. I think the cause is some other tradeoff. I wonder if it’s route finding related.
