Is anyone currently using phoenix wallet https://phoenix.acinq.co? I’ve heard it’s non-custodial so it’s safe. But does it support zaps? Is it good for NOSTR?
Discussion
I'm using it to give zapps but never tried it to receive
Did you receive my zap successfully?
it is very good for mainnet + LN in mobile- thats it - dnot use for zap in nostr - if jack zap u 1million move it to phoenix -simple
Okay, so i guess i’ll need 2 wallets 😅
3+ may - never keep all egg in one basket - all LN node scheduled downtimes - when u cannot spend during that interval channels locked
But if phoenix is non custodial, it shouldn’t be able to put hands on my btc, right?
yes - but in LN funds are always time locked in channels - no matter who has seed
Sorry to bother you with questions, but so even if i have the seed phrase, the wallet can time lock the funds and i won’t be able to access the funds? So only running my own node will I be 100% safe?
even ur node - if channels are down - funds will remain locked for long time get released - data shows 80% LN funds big channels runs in datacenters - nothing wrong about it - speed n fast connection is essential to get faster zaps one application
https://primal.net/thread/note1tzjp2lhggx72pftqzushtywzss4vv66zrq3fxgm54r48ae90p2aqz5rgzh - when researching i found although the "number of LN nodes" are very decentralized in self custody - big fund channels operators for biz n flow have to be to be located in datacenters for obvious speed / loadbalance / efficiency reason
I use it casually. It doesn’t support inbound zaps, however invoices should work.
