As far as I know Poenix doesn't currently support ln url that have the @ address.

Phoenix also has you deal with your channels with Asinq so it's a little more complicated then a fully custodial wallet like Wallet of Satoshi.l that just freely let's you send and receive sats.

There is a minimum fee of like 3000 sats and a minimum of initial transaction of 10,000 sats(I think this was the case last time I checked) for opening a channel.

So for best results it's better to open a larger channel so you won't have to keep paying that fee unless you receive more than your initial channel opening.

It may seem complicated and not ideal to newer users with a small amount of sats... but I've been using it for about 5 months now after figuring it out and it's my main LN wallet I keep most my funds in.

A little long winded so if I lost you I apologise.

Thank god, someone who knows something turned up 🙏

The Thing with poenix is it's... not fully self custodial as far as I know, but you get the recovery phrase to recover your wallet, and in case for some reason asinq force closes the channel(s) you should be able to recover them with that seed on a main chain address... I think.

Again I'm not like. Super pro here. I've read a lot of differing opinions.

Like I said though, up front Phoenix seems less than ideal, but if you open your first channel large enough for amounts you want on Lightning,, eat the fee, you'll likely not need to open another channel. Just withdraw to on chain (for an onchain tx fee) when you get close to the max and open that LN liquidity back up tk receive more sats.

Wallet if Satoshi is super easy (even I can use it. If you're on desktop for nostr a lot I would get the GetAlby plugin, it has a wallet, nip05, key backup and it also logs you in when trying different nostr web clients. But maybe think about doing that later ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

It's all user preference. Take your time, keep asking around. Weigh pros and cons. If you have any questions about other things hit me up. If I can help I'll try 🫂

If not me someone can.
