Was using blue until they canned it. I will move my stack asap if you have a self custody

BlueWallet works fine if you’re using Alby or LightningTipBot as your LNDHub, and of course it works with any LND node if you run one. #[3]​ has even more Lightning customization, and the UX is 🔥.
The problem with Zebedee is that it’s a fully permissioned system and they keep pushing KYC on you, and use IP detection to block payments from certain areas. Seems to run against the bitcoin ethos.
You can self-custody your Lightning sats on Phoenix, but no zaps there.
That Blue watch-only wallet though 🤌
BlueWallet has some awesome on-chain features. I wish they’d hurry up and update the interface because it feels so outdated now. But it’s still a great wallet for what it offers. They got a lot of hate for shutting down their Lightning node, which is actually a good thing. They shouldn’t be in the business of holding user funds anyway.
Agreed and zapped.
So who should I use‽
That all depends on your preference. If you don’t run a node, you can use Alby or LightningTipBot as your zap address and import both into #[4]​ to use as a mobile wallet. And I still love #[5]​ for their ease of use and simple interface.
