I've held off on a full LND node and just opted for Zeus for the job there. Seems like unless I run a routing node or a business with need for 24/7 uptime Zeus is just a much lower barrier to entry.

I do think I'd avoid a laptop in any case. Hot wallet to me begs for a dedicated machine and even then I'm wary of big channels.

Sorry for your woes.

Completely acceptable. You run a full LN node with one single channel set up in 5mins. That's fine.

Blixt looks promising too, if you DO find there to be any shortcomings with Zeus. Zeus does have some acceptable tradeoffs though for things like Zaplocker or Cashu for getting zaps despite being offline, which I'm pretty okay with when talking about no more than a few thousand sats.

Only Zeus/Olympus shortcoming is a single point of failure channel. Phoenix a similar deal.

Don't really use either myself though.

I use Alby and Phoenix.

I prefer on-chain for anything over 100k sats.

Phoenix and Zeus are the 2 best… imo… at least in my use case which is mobile phone only…

I started using Alby as a front end for my personal LND some time ago. I quite like it.

We use it for the team.

You can open multiple channels on Zeus, or even a single channel that isn't through Olympus. One of the many reasons I prefer it over Phoenix.
