All the "easy"self-chstody lightning wallets seem to just use some "don't make me think" slight-of-hand that is ultimately belied as a really crap tradeoff.

Phoenix: Outrageous fees. Quickly looks like shit when you try to onboard someone with $10 and they receive $8.50.Even once they have a channel, the routing fees are like 10x what they should be. Don't demo this to vendors looking to escape credit card fees.

Aqua: Your "lightning" payment gets trapped in some limbo, where you can't tell if it failed, if it's multi-pathing, or whatever the fuck they are doing behind the curtain. Don't demo this to people who want instant settlement.

Wallet of Satoshi/Breez/Blitz: Last mile of the payment is paved with surveilance. Don't use this if you wa to demonstrate censorship resistance.

Cashu for small amounts, non-custodial Lightning for bigger ones, on-chain for savings

Only downside iOS version in TestFlight only.
