50 sats \ 6 replies \ @KoreaComK 11 Jul 2023 \ parent \ on: Introducing the new Phoenix: a 3rd generation self-custodial Lightning wallet bitcoin
I've always liked and used Phoenix, I just stopped using it in recent months because I had a problem with my VPN and my device, which by the way was resolved and now I'm going to use it again (I never delete the app).
I've always advised people to use the Phoenix, but many prefer the Wallet of Satoshi or the freak Muun. Unfortunately many people prefer costal solutions that spend less satoshis than non-custodial solutions.

is it true that their fee tx is 1%?

only if it is necessary to open a channel

Per the article they wrote, they're changing it to routing fees only and those fees are 0.4% which is something I'm already seeing complaints about. It is open source code however, so if someone would like to compete with them, please fork the codebase and do so.
Also, please learn about eltoo and channel factories. It requires a softfork and softforks require consensus, which means it needs you to learn about it, agree with it, and pass the word on.

What problem did you have with VPN? I am also having a problem I can't connect back to my node using Phoenix and I suspect playing around with the VPN split tunnel settings caused it.
reply
My problem was due to my phone operator, not necessarily my wallet. As my plan is prepaid, they block VPN when I'm using 4G.
