Phoenix, still. And Alby.
Yep. Just grab Phoenix from GitHub.

I run my own Umbrel node, connected to Zeus.
I’ve also been testing out nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm Hub, which is a self-custodial cloud node (run on their own infrastructure) for the past month that natively plugs into NWC and connects to Zeus over LNDHub. Love it so far.
Umbrel is great as long as it works, but the backups are a real problem. They have a hacky but workable backup for LND but nothing for CLN. If you run a CLN node and your hardware dies you’re in trouble.
This is why I prefer start9.
This why it's hard to use Lightning.
this is what some people think

😂 Lightning isn't perfect but least it's not a Shitcoin.
the worst part are this group would repeatedly tell us what shit ass job we do every day. i'm so over the abuse already
If monero is a shitcoin (self custody, decentralized, private, just works)
LN is a shitstorm
I like what #xmr does but it would work here because you wouldn't be able to see who zapped you.
actually you can choose to broadcast a nostr event that tells everyone a monero zap happened. Or not.
Either revealing the sender or keeping the sender anon.
Options.
Use my own node, mostly. You can still use phoenix, fyi...
Zeus and Breez are my favorites now.
Nayuta wallet
Aqua wallet
Helm wallet
Alby and Zeus mostly for Lightning.
Breeze
Aqua, cash app, and primal are my hots
And for cold 🥶 I use green with blockstream jade
Look into Blixt in addition to some of the other suggestions. It is young and I haven't experimented with it a lot yet but it seems promising.
#asknostr
Blixt and minibits
Primal. CashApp has Lightning enabled.
You can still use Phoenix on Android. Install using nostr:npub10r8xl2njyepcw2zwv3a6dyufj4e4ajx86hz6v4ehu4gnpupxxp7stjt2p8
You can also just sideload the apk from GitHub.
My node.
Samourai wallet did not leave.
Wake up! It’s just 🌀 not working temporarily. run your own stack?
Mostly Zeus connected to mynode to stack.
Sometimes WoS, strike and minibits to play around or for when Tor is down
Zeuz connected to own node, can't complain it works excellent.
Also still using Samourai with own Dojo.
Based setup, hyper sovereignty all the way.
Voltage and Zeus are a strong combo to consider
Zeus is just on another level in every possible way. My upmost respect and admiration.
Alby, BlueWallet and WalletOfSatoshi as well probably. What _are_ folks using these days? 👀
BlueWallet is done with LN WoS no bueno in the USA.
What happened to Phoenix?
Ahhh America! Sorry for you, but it's open source, you can install the apk and connect with Tor.
Unless you are using an iPhone, then sorry, not sorry.
Alby and Zeus.
And Minibits.
alby and got it now backed up by alby hub hosted LN server
Oh, did that work? We're probably going to need this #[4] because the #[5] is still hosted. (As is mine 🙈).
I think we have to move to self-hosted by October.
I’ve been procrastinating it for some time now. I should receive a RaspberryPi 5 soon with some other hardware to run a LN node.
Can't we run one on the remote server and share it?
A Bitcoin node would also be kinda cool.
Or is there a legal/technical reason why that is a dumb idea?
It’s not dumb, but it’s also less feasible on the remote server.
I would personally rather have all Bitcoin stuff on hardware we can control.
Also, it would require a lot of disk space.
Ah, okay, cool. Yeah, the server could just disappear again, or get frozen by German authorities.
Exactly. Plus, the whole point of running a node is independence from anyone who isn’t me.
I wonder if we could make money on a LN node. Nobody seems to be able to. 😂
yeah, probably not, i think you have to be running big channels to high traffic nodes to catch enough fees, and your fees have to be equal or less than alternative paths
yeah, alby hub works nice, i guess it probably won't be hard to run it yourself also
Alby and Zeus seem like the best easy USA options. I’m also trying to run a Core Lightning node on a Start9. That isn’t too bad if you understand how channels and liquidity work.
Any strategy for automated backups? I wished it was easy to backup to the cloud (encrypted)
Start9 currently at least has manual backups that are easy. Umbrel currently has basically no backups unless you go into each app individually on the CLI(not practical).
There isn’t a great automated backup solution right now that I’m aware of, but it’s on Start9’s roadmap.
If you need automated backups as a hard requirement I’d probably use Voltage.
SPARROW ON DESKTOP.
ZEUS ON MOBILE.
🫡
ELECTRUM / ZEUS
+1 for this combo, my unix environment is a bit less raped by python scripts than how it would be with the big java fat boy.
Still sparrow and electrum are the best wallets on desktop and sparrow is today the more complete, probably the best.
I endorse sparrow to newbies and not electrum cause the controversial electrum seed and all the things that works only with advanced plugins (like seedsigner for example).
What about Wasabi on desktop for convenient coinjoining?
Another vote for wasabi on desktop.
This is quickly becoming an unbeatable combo…
🎯🔥
Zeus or Alby with your own node is always best. Breez is also a great option. If you're cool with custodial trade-offs, Minibits and wallet.cashu.me are also fantastic.
Zeus...

MY FAVORITE WALLET BY FAR .
What happened with phoenix? I'm still using it
Phoenix still works in US, just not in app stores
