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 onboarded a merchant and he's using it on a tablet. Works perfectly fine, all day.

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.
