Phoenix is also kind of expensive. Works great though.
Today I switched my kids from Muun to Phoenix. Both do a good job of managing on-chain and lightning payments but Muun's fees, specially on a high on-chain fee environment, were just too much.

Do you have another suggestion?
Do you have another suggestion?
Have you looked at the new Aqua wallet?
yes
I like it. it needs more features and I had some trouble with lightning.
What problems have you had with lightning? I’ve been able to receive no problem, but I haven’t tried to send yet.
ot told me boltz swap was prohibited? I'm really not sure. I have received fine as well.

it's 1k sats minimum unfortunately. thats one thing.
The minimum is because of the swap fees from lightning to liquid and vice versa. If you're wanting something for extremely small payments of only a few sats, then nothing will beat custodial lightning for that.
I think its a great international wallet. if you're traveling it could be quite useful. it would be nice to sign notes to transactions and using the @'s addresses too.
I’ll check it out
It gives you an on chain bitcoin and liquid wallet, and then can send/receive lightning payments using automatic swaps in and out of liquid in the background. It wouldn't be good for extremely small payments (like 21 sat zaps, for instance), but for stuff like a kids allowance, etc, it's a good option to consider.
Honestly, for kids I’d just use a custodial wallet such as WoS or Blink. If I were to stick to non-custodial, I’d run a node on Voltage and use LNbits to create accounts for each kid. Then they could use Blue Wallet as the inference to those accounts. A middle ground solution would be to use Aqua which works kinda like Muun, but stores your balance on Liquid so it’s much cheaper.
