Zeus have them separate. What you see on top is not a unified balance, is just a sum of "available" sats.
what I mean is that ZEUS unifies brings the 3 wallets together in one app
We need to put into users mind that LN is THE payment network and not onchain. Onchain is only to open/close channels.
yes, agree. Still, the user needs to be able to access both. Like teaching a child to use a knife, it can be useful but also harmful.

well said.
Even if they harm themselves,, will be only once. They will learn the hard lesson.
And talking about Zeus. By adding the LDK node was a very good decision.
I've test it intensively and I can say that works flawlessly 99%. Almost never had a failed payment and sync is instant.
On the other side, the new LND Sqlite still have some issues with path finding and sync.
LND remains for more advanced users, meanwhile LDK is for newbies and users with connectivity problems. But the mechanics of LN channels is the same.
And here is kind of documentation that we should teach users

Once they get how it works, will be easy for them and will not struggle with liquidity.
But the question is,, how many wallet apps you see doing this kind of documentation_

Most apps do not even allow the functionality to begin with! A good blog post will be ideal; imagine having documentation.
In regard to wallets using LDK to spin up nodes, do you know why BlueWallet removed the functionality?
Maybe because they failed to implement it. They started early when LDK was quite bad. I myself I lost 100k in that version. Puff are gone, never recoverable. And nobody have any idea what could be done. Same with BitKit. Is a disaster.
That's another +1 for ZEUS, as it allows connecting to testnet and playing in an environment where coins have no value. Apart from Electrum desktop, is ZEUS the only one enabling testnet on mobile? Blixt?
Yes Blixt also.
I consider testnet useless. Real testing is with real sats. You are not a real bitcoiner if you are not a bit reckless.
I do not mind losing some sats testing. I mind when the app dev is not paying attention or even not helping me to recover those sats and fix the issue. Both Bluewallet and Bitkit ignored my messages and even tried to shut me off instead of dealing professionally with those issues.
app dev is not paying attention or even not helping me to recover
Agree, that sucks. Not considering user feedback has a price. I think we have seen the consequences of it in both cases.
I consider testnet useless.
Not everyone can afford losing precious sats. I continue seeing testnets as a great educational tool to increase newbies' confidence in dealing with both on-chain and LN wallets. I wish there were more LN wallets plugged into testnet networks.
For a dev testnet yes is useful, in the initial phase of developing.
But as a user tester it doesn-t make too much sense,. mostly because you MUST test LN mechanisms in real use case to find real bugs.
Here is another example of documentation that is mostly ignored by many users.

100 sats Question: which wallet app is pointing its users to this documentation?
wrong. Zeus have them separate. What you see on top is not a unified balance, is just a sum of "available" sats. btw it contain a small bug,, including the channel reserve, that means what you see on top as "unified" balance is even less of "what you can send"
Yes, the user can interoperate between them, but that doesn't mean are fully unified.
