On WoS, it looks like you can SEND out, in the US, but you can't receive. You get a notice "region not supported".
I wonder, if after May 5th, or whenever it is that Phoenix is officially shutting down, they will also do this.
I was thinking of trying to use a VPN. I've received some advice to NOT do that, since lightning is kind of finicky anyway, and anything that adds complexity will cause problems.
Do you folks have thoughts on VPN with Phoenix? Honestly, I'd rather just stick with Phoenix, if I can.
Yes that's what I meant originally. If I can't receive the wallet is useless, but I dont know if Phoenix can even prevent people from receiving like WoS. I'm not concerned about loss of funds.
