Non-custodial:
  • You are in control of your keys
  • The node runs on your device
  • Any critical data that exists is saved on your device and encrypted remotely for backups
Not an LSP:
  • We do not run a node or LSP, we interface with others
  • You may open channels to any node
  • We never process any lightning channel, payments, on-chain txs, UTXOs, etc.
  • Our lightning address server is built with blinded auth, and we can't link payments to your node
Open-source:
  • MIT
  • The web app is available in case app stores go down
  • Self-hostable, already bundled with start9
We strongly believe in building software that gives users the most control and least dependence upon us. It's not easy; centralization brings a much better user experience. However, for the longevity of ourselves, our product, and our users, this is what we believe is the correct path to take.
How does it compare with Phoenix in terms of ease of use? Seems like it must be lots more complicated, because you manage your own node/channels?
What are some of the best resources for understanding channels, and how best to manage them without losing money? I read lots about issues (forced closure, etc).
Now would probably be a good time to open channels, fees are fairly low.

Anyone know if drain tx fees can be bumped once drain tx sent?
