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.
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.
