We should all be mentally prepared for the day our favorite custodial zap wallet either gets shut down, hacked, forced to KYC or straight up rugs.

Matter of when, not if

That means do not keep many sats in these wallets, only pocket change

My favorite wallet is ripping me off 4 sats per zap. No way to find a cheaper route either.

Phoenix? I noticed the same increase with the new update.

Yessir. You are correct

I use getalby for zaps and haven’t noticed fees. Sometimes I just don’t notice things, though.

those were never meant to keep a lot of money. it's mostly scaffolds for growing LN ecosystem quick

Could the new bolt 12 help us out with zapping?

bolt 12 is something big

Probably, but bolt 12 has been in talks for years and I don't think it's high on lightning labs list (which they told me directly)

πŸ‘

Indeed. Ive lost sats to 2 custodial lightning services so far

Which ones?

Tippin.me

<1m SATs I think sounds reasonable

Way too high for my blood. I keep less than 100k

I lost 87 sats at Current app. Dumb of me to update the app to find the new version wants $3.99 (KYC card payment of course) to allow the privilege of zapping βš‘οΈβš‘οΈπŸ˜‚

nostr:npub1hcwcj72tlyk7thtyc8nq763vwrq5p2avnyeyrrlwxrzuvdl7j3usj4h9rq if I change my email address do u keep a record of the previous email address?

No - you can only have one email address per account.

Yes. & I think The Best strategy is to zap those custodial sats away to people and/or businesses who are providing real value :)

Just run a full node 🦊

Always a good reminder to self custody.

Do you put Phoenix wallet in the same basket as say WoS?
