Zeus and Bluewallet are both excellent choices.

WalletOfSatoshi on the other hand provides a lightning address.

BlueWallet no longer supports their LNDHub custodial Lightning wallet, so that’s out

WoS works very well for me, zero complaints, keep a small balance by zapping everything back into nostr.

Some prefer Alby + Zeus for one-tap-zaps, depending on your nostr client

Bluewallet can still use LNDHub on nodes.

Yes, I just assumed the OP was looking at custodial/reusable address solutions

Interested in everything the community has to say on the topic. Custodial and n/c. Wanna hear people’s thoughts

Unless you have a pretty thorough self-sovereign setup, a static (reusable) LN address isn’t really possible without a custodial wallet.

You can zap from Phoenix/Breez/whatever and receiver to WoS or Alby if you want, and then just unload the custodial wallet if the balance gets higher than you’re comfortable losing.

But as far as smooth/simple/fast/easy options, WoS has everything beat (as a zapping wallet) IMO

Thanks. I should read some

Articles and watch some yt vids that dive deep on the fundamentals of lighting and the current product landscape

Anything from nostr:npub1rxysxnjkhrmqd3ey73dp9n5y5yvyzcs64acc9g0k2epcpwwyya4spvhnp8 would be an ideal place to start as far as user onboarding/tutorials are concerned

Wallet of satoshi has a 8000sat withdrawal fee ($2)

If you have any question about using Alby on Nostr, I am here to help. You'll find some content about Alby and Nostr here: https://blog.getalby.com/tag/nostr/

Thank you!

Thanks everybody. Sounds like if I’m already using alby that Zeus is a great companion.

Can anyone explain what additional advantages you get by linking Zeus and alby?

Just switched from blue wallet to Zeus. Zeus is much better imo

Do you need to run your own node with zeus/alby combo?

No. You can but don’t have to

Do not use BlueWallet

Heard good things about WoS but it is custodial so take that into account

Cannot speak to Zeus but so far people seem to like it. I think you need to run your own node for it but I may be mistaken about that. Someone can fact check me.

I like Phoenix. A solid noncustodial lightning wallet.
