Personally, I'm using Wallet of Satoshi, because it was too easy to set up.
Zeus is looking interesting, although I ran into a few issues there, the other one I've been trying, and have come across lots of references lately (particularly with bitchat from nostr:nprofile1qyxhwumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmvqyehwumn8ghj7mnhvvh8qunfd4skctnwv46z7ctewe4xcetfd3khsvrpdsmk5vnsw96rydr3v4jrz73hvyu8xqpqsg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q8dzj6n) is cashu.me.
I had *Zeus* running but I'm not certain about running a light node on my phone. I just don't use Bitcoin exchanges that much. The overall complexity of lightening for the self-custody user I believe is it's biggest challenge. The user has to do the work and until something exists to make that easy .... And to make it where one doesn't have to commit significant reserves just to open two way channels, self-custody lightening, for the day to day non tech user, is a long way from being practical.
"Either you have to know the system, understand how to use it and trust that your reserves on the lightening network are safe, OR you have to trust someone else to do the work for you --- that's lightening in a bottle. " -- ©️ -- smitty@zapstr.net
Totally hear you on lighting.
Since my previous message, I found the nostr:npub1kvaln6tm0re4d99q9e4ma788wpvnw0jzkz595cljtfgwhldd75xsj9tkzv iOS app available via TestFlight, and this changed everything for me!
It’s straight forward enough to use, and has been working really well. The NWC side of it is simple, offers multiple NWC connections if you choose, for example, per app. This has been the first time I felt it was simple enough for less-tech users. Am looking forward to its release.
I’m assuming there’s a test Android version available if you’re an Android user, but recommend giving it a try if you want something that seems to work, and integrate, smoothly.
Here’s the link if interested
