When you have a large amount of sats on your custodial wallet, like Walletofsatoshi or Alby, where do you move them to for safety?

I convert them to liquid on nostr:npub1jg552aulj07skd6e7y2hu0vl5g8nl5jvfw8jhn6jpjk0vjd0waksvl6n8n wallet Green where I have my keys.

Do you?

You could use boltz.exchange to send sats to your cold storage (Jade, Coldcard, BitBox, etc.)

I would strongly recommend to have a hardware wallet for large amounts of sats.

So wait when the fees are low?

They are relatively low right now, ~6 sats/vB.

Right now yes, but during the ordinals madness I was able to move from liquid to on-chain with a very low fee

This would also work, and by the way Boltz can do this too.

Yes I know, in fact I use Boltz to swap from lightning to liquid, always with very low fees.

Instead from lightning to on-chain the swap on Boltz is affected by the normal fees of the market at that time

It’s true, but by having your sats in Liquid, you’re trusting the Blockstream federation to peg out your L-BTC when you ask for it. If it’s fine with you, then nothing speaks against that. If you prefer to have real on-chain bitcoin in a hardware storage, you will need to pay the fees sooner or later. Luckily, they’re relatively low now.

You can use Muun. Non custodial wallet then can both send and recieve Lightning and onchain.

With quite high fees costs

Depends. Fees for sending onchain can be set by yourself. LN fees are a bit higher, yes

I use Phoenix Wallet Beta.

Where can I find the beta version?

Thanks

I just received the notification. You need to send an email to their support requesting it.

I did, but they didn't send me anything.

It takes a while, I think mine was answered after about 15 days.

do you read me?

LOL In my case “large amounts” is wishful thinking.

But… I have a non-custodial lightning wallet and plan to use it (in a distant future).

Next step would be a cold wallet for on-chain operations, if they’ll still exist when I’ll be needing one 😁
