Hi. I'm new to Lightning Wallets. Currently using Wallet Of Satoshi on mobile device. Must say it is super lightning fast on handling transactions. One thing that bothers me is the actual security of my sats in this wallet. Reason I feel this way is that "Not your keys, not your coins" and setting up this wallet I've noticed that there is no keys. So do I really own the sats in the wallet of satoshi?

Are the sats in my #walletofsatoshi truly mine?

No, are not even sats, just some tokens IOU. WoS is offering you only a custodial account. Like a bank account.

Please consider reading these guides and learn more about LN wallets:

Will do thanks. I guess Blue wallet is the same? Setting up zeus on mobile was confusing. I will definitely go through the links you shared. Thank you.

It is if you are too new to this stuff, but don't give up so easy, Zeus is a powerful app.
All Zeus documentation is here, step by step: https://docs.zeusln.app/

Pay attention to private mobile LN nodes here:

Hello. I'm still reading. And finally got Zeus setup with alby. Is it safe to use getAlby LN?

reply

Alby is good as a decoy wallet.
In my guides I explained why.

Having a problem with WoS to send my sats to Zeus. It's telling me insufficient funds. Sent support a mail.

reply

Thank you for guidance in the right direction. Appreciate it.

Quick answer: no.

It's the same for money in your bank account, I'm sure you have way more there than what you keep at WoS, are you really worried?

reply

Not worried too much but it is my hard earned sats. And nope, don't have a bank account with loads of fiat. I'm unemployed so don't own a bank account.
