True. It certainly makes sense right now. At the same time I dont think Phoenix fees are ridiculously high. We have to expect these projects to be able to earn a profit from the considerable work they put in.

Yep, 100%, but I also believe competition is healthy for users.

I agree. It's smart to keep an eye on the "arbitrage." Do you run a node? I usually use Zeus connected to my node.

I ran a LND node for couple of years, when zap (Jack Mallers app) was a thing and it was maintained, but I became lazy lately.

I just realized that was a dumb question! You wouldn't be talking about Muun and Phoenix. I have to admit I use Phoenix even when I could use Zeus sometimes. It just seems smooth and convenient, but I'm throwing away sats.
