Evan set up a Zeus wallet when they opened. It's good, but the regulatory crap keeps them from pushing people to pay in bitcoin. I know someone whose friend works in the DC PubKey. They have a different setup. Apparently the regs are much simpler, the wallet is faster (maybe custodial?), and they actually encourage bitcoin payments.
Hmm faster (on average) really depends on your location in the graph I think.
I had an idea about this last week and used Blixt (because the latest Zeus is giving me more hangs than I have time to process right now) to open a channel to a LNBiG hub and most my payments now settle within 5s, in fact outperforming Phoenix, which often seems to take a bit longer to do the back and forth. Note that my mobile lnd is vpn-routed across a quarter of the world most of the time, over LTE, and that alone costs me a second or 2 of latency.
I prefer Zeus, all else being equal. I have both Zeus and alby go connected to my main LND node at home. Zeus takes a while just to open, and I wanted to make a good impression. For me, alby go always completes the transaction quicker, so I like it better in orange pilling situations.
Zeus with Tailscale fixes this
How do you implement it on your mobile wallet?
Gotta use Umbrel that’s the easiest way
That's what I do. I run tailscale on Umbrel., I connected my Zeus wallet to my node. It still is sluggish compared to alby go
Ah yes, I use the Zeus embedded lnd, not a server one, because I have no time to set up a proper server either right now (though I promised to unclejim a microbusiness so I will have to, next month). I think that most of the recent (0.12.0/0.12.1) issues are caused by the embedded node in Zeus.
That said, I do like the Zeus UX better than the Blixt UX, but I need my main LN wallet to not hang all the time.
I agree that excluding the NE from growth focus for now could be a good headache avoidance strategy.
How does this work for PubKey? They accept sats, right?
