  1. What are those two squares above the connection boxes labelled send and receive? If you click on them they turn yellow. Is that to temporarily pause connected wallets?
  2. If you have two enabled send and receives set up, how is priority determined?
  3. If one connection fails, is the other automatically used?

If you want to temporarily pause a connected wallet, you can uncheck the 'enabled' checkbox in the wallet.

  1. Just a filter for send/receive methods.
  2. Priority is determined by the order of the squares. Drag the squares to reprioritize them.
  3. Yes. When the first method fails, upon retry, the next method is used. @ek can elaborate more on the exceptions to this.

The only exception is that we don't fallback to CCs once we started to pay with sats.
I just updated the FAQ with wallet questions starting from this one and included this answer in there.

The first (big) iteration will be moving away from protocols+wallets to only showing wallets so one can use multiple wallets that support NWC for example. Each wallet will also have a proper guide with screenshots and maybe even videos. In the beginning, we will probably focus on the popular wallets and add other wallets+guides on request.
The next (big) iteration will then add a wizard to the wallet page so somebody who literally has never used lightning before can answer questions so we can recommend them a wallet based on their answers. Questions could be something like "Do you know what a lightning address is?", "Do you have a computer that can stay online 24/7?", "Do you mind KYC?" etc.
The guides in the previous iteration should then help them enough to get setup with the wallet we recommended.
This was basically a TL;DR of this answer on Github.

  1. Use cowboy credits and ignore all above

  1. it's just a filter.
  2. As far as I know, the algorithm tries all the alternatives until one works, but I don't know how the priorities are set.
