where are the downsides? - is there anything you don't like about it 👀
For me personally? Not too many downsides. I like simple things.
If you want the whole LN node management, liquidity and channels, fees etc, you will not have them. For that you have many other apps and node bundles.
For a total noob I found this an excellent way to start using LN.

I will have a test - I didn't too tempting to test this wallet before because it sounds too corporate to me 😂
I like those darkhorse style hahha

Even that is in beta phase, I found it safe to use it.
I did a recovery test and works as designed.
What I didn't tested yet, is what happen when you close the channel (called "remove LN account") and if the funds goes back to main onchain bitcoin wallet, as I suppose will do.

Would you prefer/suggest Green or Phoenix then for onboarding a newb?
reply
Could be both.
Only that Green offers the option to have multiple accounts, onchain and LN. Also Green splicing fee structure is better.
Green is still new, is in beta still.
Phoenix is already at v0.2 and with some years ahead, stable.

For a total noob I found this an excellent way to start suing LN.
expect the competition between this and Phoenix, then...
reply
Yes, I found them very similar, only that with Green you have more options in the same app.
