Does anyone have any experience/thoughts on #phoenixd? In general or especially with Alby Hub?

I’m about to enter my #bitcoin merchant era so trying to decide between that or another backend.

I have experience with Phoenix, I don't use it as a merchant. I can tell you it is expensive even for Lightning. Self custody is great but maybe you should try a custodial option to collect money, and once a day, move the funds to Phoenix or Zeus.

Are you referring to the mobile app? Phoenixd server says there’s a ~1% receive fee. I haven’t used the mobile app since it was removed from the App Store so I’m not sure.

Hmm never heard of it.

Alby works great for me

It’s one of backend options when self-hosting Alby Hub. Trying to get things right before January 3. 🤙
