Lightweight & native
phoenixd is compiled to native binaries for linux, mac (x86 & arm) and windows (wsl).
Phoenix was already fast on mobile, but on server it flies!
Discussion
Eclair is the direct alternative by Acinq. Phoenixd is based on eclair but abstracts all the complexity away so the user doesn't have to think about channels, liquidity etc...
I didn't know there were people (outside Acinq) who run eclair
Apparently it's really good, never tried it though.
It is! 🐶🐾🫡🥷⚡️
