I think you meant to say phoenixd (server) not the regular Phoenix mobile app, right?
I haven't even used phoenixd. Whats that like?
The Phoenix mobile app has bolt 12 now. I haven't used it because I moved over to Blixt tho.
And obviously you have to enable the app to run in the background to be able to accept payments at all times.
I am using phoenixd. It’s okay. Easy setup (literally just run a binary and you’re done) and the fees are reasonable. It’s API doesn’t support msats though and it still has some issues staying up.
I would say if you’re willing to run a server but don’t want to manage liquidity, phoenixd is probably your best option rn.
However, since I actually want to manage liquidity and open my own channels for lower fees, I think I’ll move back to LND or something that supports BOLT12.
I moved over to Blixt tho.
Hampus is working on the desktop version now...
Yes I saw that. Will be good that it won't drain my poor cell phone battery anymore XD
I onboarded a merchant and he's using it on a tablet. Works perfectly fine, all day.
Does the merchant have persistent mode turned on with an LNURL like I do tho?
Yes, Is running like a normal node.
It shut it down only during the night when he sleep :)
phoenixd is a desktop server daemon that is doing the same as Phoenix mobile app.
Only that you can run it as a funding source for Lnbits, Alby Hub or another client that can't remember the name now.
Is cool and is using low resources. Nodana is offering cloud instances too for phoenixd.
I moved over to Blixt tho
So you are using it with WebLN to send?
Oh yeah...the noncustodial migration is November 5th. I haven't even looked at at all that lmao. I guess zapping people's lnurls is not quite the same as zapping their posts huh? I'll have to actually give it some thought lol.
I stay with cowboy credits 😂
Self custody for me is for serious stuff not for posting on SN...
Do we require to setup a node for blixt or pheonix?
The node is in the phone.
Pheonix does everything pretty automatically. You just have to understand what inbound and outbound liquidity are
Blixt (because it doesn't force you to only connect to one node/LSP like pheonix does) requires actually opening your own channels, but once you take a stroll through all the menu options and think about what they do, its actually pretty straight forward.
Both are non custodial wallets? Right?
Pheonix must be easier to connect for a newbie?
You can’t connect Phoenix to SN for sending and we don’t support BOLT12 for receiving yet.
Thanks for clarification.
Can we connect Blixt?
I don’t know but looking at the features, it doesn’t look like it.
Which one is the easiest solution?
How about about Blink or coinos + ⚡ address for a newbie to start with?
I'm using blixt for autowithdraw now....
How is the new system working? You just need an LNURL right? I guess to zap posts you'll need something else
Does blixt have lightning addresses or how did you attach it?

you need to have one of these wallets/protocols that can send for zapping

Its only a PR away! (Not really I'm meming)
Both are non custodial. The node is in the phone. They are neutrino lightning nodes on your phone.
Yes Pheonix is easier, but they pulled out of the US market because of perceived compliance issues (they didn't understand what the Samourai lawsuit meant for their business and decided to just run from it rather than accept the risk). Because of this, I also recommend looking into Blixt.
Blixt wallet (or Pheonix if you're outside the US)
