Good morning! What an exciting day. Bitcoin Miami looks like a ton of fun. I'm seriously considering going to Pacific Bitcoin this year now.

Also I saw a number <250 on the scale for the first time in years this morning! LFG! Plus you all get to see my sexy feet 😆 #footstr #plebchain

If you're talking about circular rebalance you can pick outgoing and incoming channels with tools like thunderhub and ride the lightning. I'm not sure if those are available in CLN though, I only used LND.

If you're talking about picking an outgoing channel to pay someone else I'm not sure you can pick, but you can query a route before you pay using ride the lightning.

I was using a ledger, but I just moved my coins off that to my phone's bluewallet. I compare the address on the screen to the address in the bluewallet app. I have a passport on the way, which actually bypasses the entire clipboard issue by allowing you to scan QR codes.

I personally like the screen on the HW because I can verify an address there, offline, and sign it before sending it back online to post. Once the correct address is signed there is no way to change it, so I know the transaction is correct. Without the screen I won't be able to check it until it's back on a device with a screen that is probably online.

I think trusting a third party server is a joke. It's not hard to verify an address from the source and avoid any clipboard malware.

You're welcome!

You know I'm not sure what happens if you send a larger amount than your existing channel. That might work too, but I think Phoenix will want to charge a fee for a new channel.

In my example I have a 1.8m sat channel and I spent 1m sats, so I have the capacity to send myself 1m sats with strike to refill the existing channel. It only cost the strike lightning fee:

I'm not sure how Phoenix handles multiple channels.

Another option would be to refill your channel as you spend it you aren't making any purchases bigger than your channel size. What I do is pay an LN invoice from my Phoenix wallet using my USD on Strike. Then I don't have to deal with an on chain transaction or pay a fee for a new channel to Phoenix.
