Why not wallet of satoshi?

You’re right there’s a lot of wallets. To the point it gets confusing, it was taking me too long to decide. Same as other newbies. So I just went with it, it’s actually good, does what it’s supposed to do, I don’t need shiny whistles.

But now I’m curious why don’t you like it?

To each their own. And it’s not that I don’t like it. I’ve heard great things about it. But needing to get a VPN to access it is a barrier to entry for me when I can spin up another lightning wallet in a few minutes.

Yeah but I didn’t know it was banned in the US until yesterday. I’m that’s why I’m transferring.

And by transferring you mean you have sats on WoS that you want to access or move to another wallet?

Because it's centralized and has a rug pull risk.

Any suggestions? (Not phoenix)

Non custodial as well!

I found that non custodial lightning wallets are complicated. I don’t mind custodial.

We’re all learning. Things complicated to us today will not be tomorrow. I don’t see custodial as a problem especially if you’re regularly spending sats on that wallet and not holding long term. Which non custodial lightning wallets have you found complicated?

I’ll check it out. I know I didn’t answer your original inquiry but I hope you find the answer you’re looking for. I enjoyed our conversation! Always great talking to other Bitcoiners.

If you’re keeping a small amount of sats on WoS, that may not be bad especially if you’re regularly buying and spending the sats on that wallet. Thoughts?

Sure, it's all tradeoffs.
