NEW TUTORIAL: Phoenix Lightning Wallet
This is my default onboarding tool for newcomers now.
-non custodial
-setup/receive a tx in 1 minute
-12 word backup
-complicated bits hidden in the background
Please take a look, give it a try, and share this around!
Definitely the best option for someone who isn't up for running a full node and wants the backend abstracted.
Blixt is a good option for someone who is in the middle and wants something closer to a full node with control over channels etc.
Mutiny is gonna be fire 🔥

Haven't used it for a while, but iirc, it requires a minimum amount for first transaction in irder to open a channel.
Yes this is true, min 10k sats incoming first tx (so about $3-4). It's instantly accessible at that point.
I typically describe it to the person as the cost to establish a connection, at which point they enjoy the low fees for sending/receiving.
In my experience they take that at face value and it doesn't phase them at all. Plus the speed of the incoming tx gets them quite excited.
Phoenix is a great wallet
I like Phoenix too.
I like Phoenix. I made my first transaction to it about 1.8m sats so I had a nice large channel and I've never needed to open another. I refill it with my fiat balance on Strike.
Огромный вопрос, какой кошелек рекомендовать новичкам в качестве первого.
Идеологически верным было бы сразу учить пользоваться ончейн кошельками, но мало кто сходу готов осознать их преимущества, а вот высокие комиссии и длительное время на транзакции могут отпугнуть.
Рекомендовать кастодиальный лайтнинг — брать на себя ответственность за чужие деньги. Если WoS закроется, виноват будет тот, кто его порекомендовал.
Поэтому некастодиальный лайтнинг (Phoenix, Breez) это отличный компромисс. Я и сам использую Phoenix как основной мобильный кошелек.
Их ругают за высокие комиссии на открытие каналов. Но это все люди, которые сами никогда никаких каналов не открывали.

phoenix have been the best from the start
Phoenix is great! Fast and reliable!
There is a catch though. iOS and Android are not compatible. Meaning if you had an Android Phoenix 12 words but you need to switch to iOS, it would NOT work. Please take note.
I'm happy with Phoenix 🧡⚡💜
Does it not provide a Lightning Address?
This is pretty desirable for a newbie and easy to explain.
One of the best wallets out there, been using it for years, can wholeheartedly recommend.
Acinq is doing amazing work.

I really like it and I use it since February 👍
👍
No static wallet address is a pain. I wish there was a solution like a custodial wallet, with a minimum and maximum limit that would automatically transfer to and from Phoenix
