21 sats \ 4 replies \ @didiplaywell 7 Aug \ on: Mutiny is being sunsetted. Which wallet would you switch to? lightning
I like and use Zeus to plug into the Nostr ecosystem (zapping, nostr-keys, LN url, etc). It's way too slow to load, but besides that it's fully featured and it's actively surveilled in wallet scrutiny. My main savings wallet is Muun, which I like for it seamlessly integrates Lightning and on-chain payments.
I'm happy with that, but some acquaintances use Bluewallet and are happy with it too.
Something weird happened to blue wallet in USA recently.
Blue was very popular in 2021 then Phoenix came along.
I also liked Wallet of Satoshi.
Mutiny is a good wallet too. I wanted to experiment with federations in mutiny but not anymore

I'm interested to know more about what might have happened to bluewallet if you don't mind, I will forward it to this group (it's a local bitcoiner community).

I have had problems with connection and payment in transit. Maybe it’s because my balance is too low. It’s not a big deal because I stopped using Blue in 2023.
From perplexity:
Common issues users face with BlueWallet include:
- Insufficient Balance: Users often encounter problems due to not having enough balance or confirmed inputs for transactions[1].
- Balance Updates: Delays or failures in balance updates are frequent complaints[1].
- Refill Delays: Users report that refilling their wallet can take too much time[1].
- Payment in Transit: Transactions sometimes get stuck in transit[1].
- Connection Issues: Problems connecting to LND nodes and invalid LNDHub URIs are common[2].
- Fee Estimation: Incorrect fee estimation during network congestion[3].
- Dust Transactions: Transactions rejected due to being considered "dust" (too small)[4].
- Tor Support Removal: Some users are unhappy with the removal of Tor support[5].

Thank you Sr!
The guys on this community have long been developing their own wallet, I'm going to ask them to pitch it up on SN. They have even developed cards and postnets for it.
