I'm beginning to appreciate Phoenix more since the splicing update now, as well as the ability to purchase inbound liquidity. Receive more inbound capacity than you would be comfortable keeping on LN.

Maybe you aim for 500k-1M sat utxo, but only stack 20k sats at a time. You could purchase 2 million sats inbound liquidity, stack gradually to your comfort zone, splice out.

I initially didn't like the higher fees or that the channel shrunk with every splice out. But for ease of use for someone either unwilling or incapable of running a full LN node, at least just yet, it's still slick AF. Especially if you couple it with other options like Mutiny, Zeus, Breez or even custodial accounts like Alby for simple Nostr use.
