Great to hear, and thanks for trying us out! We just made some improvements to sending payments so it is good to see that it's working.
I had noticed after the splicing update fees were getting higher on Phoenix wallet, so I finally got around to testing a couple new options.
---
First up is Mutiny wallet, I'm really liking it! The Android APK is working well now if you happen to be on that OS.
I tested sending lightning payments up to 1M, using Alby, WoS, and Zeus with Olympus LSP as receiving wallets. They all worked. Fees were reasonable, ranging from 11-25 sats for the 1M sat transfers.

I also set up the Zeus integrated lightning node, Olympus. I like the Zeus interface, I use it as a front end for Alby on my phone.
Zeus had trouble sending larger payments. I wasn't able to send over 250K in my tests today, once again testing with WoS, Alby, and Mutiny as receiving wallets. Fees were a bit higher as well, 84 sats consistently for a 250K transfer.

I have decently large channels open in both now, so I will be able to continue testing more in the future. I can't wait to see what they build going forward!

Discussion
is channel force closing still happening?
genuine curious need to know before trying out.
and what is the approximate channel opening fee?
Still occasionally happens, though far less than when we originally launched. 10k sat fee if you're receiving the channel open, only normal on chain fees if you deposit on chain and open a channel yourself.
thanks! i cant seem to zap you
oh bonus question.is your wallet playing nice with Binance? Muun & Breez seems not compatible with Binance lightning network
