WoS is custodial though. Phoenix is noncustodial. I'm not saying is bad, just that it is important to consider the tradeoffs

I think the dangers of custodial wallets aren't taught enough. We'll have to create better lightning wallets, which thankfully is happening with the development of BOLT12. There is even already a self-custodial lightning wallet called Phoenix. Either way be careful adopting any new wallet.

Taking another look at #Phoenix wallet as non custodial is the way to go. Just thought was interesting they ask to sign into iCloud in order to back up payments. Why on earth would anyone do that LOL. Here you go Apple, take a look at my transaction history in my Bitcoin wallet LOL :-)

Yes, good choice. I really like #Phoenix.

The iCloud backup is bizarre. Maybe it is a feature they included to help those who are more apprehensive to opt for complete self custody. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Convenience knows no limits.
