Phoenix - LN Bitcoin wallet

Great wallet for LN wallets. Easy backup method with the 12 words, simple to use, clean design. It is great to have option to connect via Tor. I like the visibility we have of the current open channels. I wish the wallet had a bit more information about transaction fees, for before (estimation) and after the transaction is done. Other than that, it is a great wallet. And I recommend it.

ACINQ raped me to the tune of 0.4% to send my entire Phoenix balance to my Core Lightning node ahead of Phoenix being discontinued for U.S. users. That's for a native Lightning transaction, no blockchain footprint at all! ACINQ are taking advantage of users, especially since it is not clear that the U.S. DOJ will even pursue Lightning wallets. This is the last straw for me with ACINQ. I love their technology, but their fees have always been borderline outrageous, and this latest takes the cake.

Magic. Pure magic. Request liquidity feature is amazing, splicing is amazing. UI is amazing. One channel to rule them all, amazing. I hope this app can be expanded somehow to scale further and somehow h ave multiple people own one channel. Cashu ecash integration could also be cool. Love where this is headed. Private key encryption on device would be great too. Also not even having the key on the device would be good, can receive but only spend with something like a Q1 or Jade, QR codes.
