Been kicking tires on Aqua. It’s really good.
Discussion
I was intrigued - it has good reviews and seems like it is designed with an eye toward the future with Onchain, Lightning, Liquid...even handling stablecoins. Not that the last use case means much to me. Most of my "gotta have it now" transactions would be in support of the circular #btc economy by paying with sats vs USD for small purchases.
I'm just not the type to want a bunch of wallets with small amounts in them - want to consolidate. I am using Sparrow for watch-onlys with my different hardware devices...now want a good mobile hot wallet that can do "all the other things" and act like the "checking account" with pretty small balances.
Let me know where ya land. Not enough time in the day to do all the recon.
And have you tried Phoenix and Mutiny to have a comparison (or even Muun).
Got em all loaded but only dabbled in mutiny but haven’t used it enough to know. Was mostly trying to get off nostr:npub1hcwcj72tlyk7thtyc8nq763vwrq5p2avnyeyrrlwxrzuvdl7j3usj4h9rq because of their whack shot gun KYC. Twas treasonous. I’ve procrastinated rebooting all the things to new lightning wallet. Epic procrastinator and I don’t use that much to be honest. trying to get the local farmers market and side hustlers onboard. And for them @strike is an easier jump.
Same regarding Strike - one of the ranchers here in Denver uses it. I’ve debated accepting bitcoin payments for my tennis lessons, but I’d like to just send them to a wallet vs having to use a zaprite or BTCPay server.
I have time to research stuff, since semi-retired, but still highly weight personal recommendations.
Caveat...I havent done enough homework on nostr:npub1ajlrwgfj4yerhqf7ady03h7wmtk2qr3gs7h3sxcx83k05yld36sswpzx3q KYC practices. At first glance it seems they do the same dirty tracking that WofS and others started doing. Maybe nostr:npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a can enlighten us.
Services in the marketplace might have KYC or tracking. We cannot control that part of the user experience. AQUA’s core is non-custodial and there is zero tracking whatsoever.
