I tried it once and didn’t really spend much time figuring it out. That fee warning is kind of a 🚩 TBH.

Honestly just trying to find a LN wallet I fully control, no trust, no bata, no chance of loss of funds there isn’t one out there yet I know of

Phoenix is.. lol they give a seed phrase.. if your channels are forced closed you can still recover your funds be you have a seed phrase as now Phoenix is the only one the offers this..

That’s great to hear I’m not wasting my time learning this wallet…

No you just have to open up big enough channels to have space to go in-and-out that's it.

Fees are high on every on chain wallet Phoenix is just letting you know

You have to open a big channel first so you can have space to move in and out.. I opened a channel with 220ksats then I moved 200k out and then I opened a on chain transaction big enough to go in and out.. the on chain transaction I did tge same moved most of it out so I can have space yo go in and out..

The 7k received transactions (bottom and top) says I received but never did my channels keep going up but my sats stay the same.. I haven’t removed any sats from this wallet yet…

There are some locked sats for the fees in case you'll close your channels.

With all those transactions it looks like you opened multiple channels.. do one big lightning one and one big on chain one then move back and you good.. my channels have been open for months and months
