Since Phoenix fled the US with its tail between its legs I have been uncomfortable settling on a replacement. Phoenix spoiled the hell out of me. It really is smooth and let me get lazy. The good news is I was forced to focus on other LN wallets, and I have been learning a lot. I always forget that it's good to get out of your comfort zone every once in a while.

fled the US with its tail between its legs

You are quite wrong in your assumption. Only a clueless play store user will think like that. Phoenix is perfectly fine available from its Github repo instalable directly from apk or using Obtainium.

Indeed is not "the best wallet" solution, but still remain useful. You are right, users should try out and get comfortable not with just one wallet, but 3-4, spreading their stash between them.

Keep in mind this chart:

I use Obtanium or download the APK from github for all my apps. (Graphene OS). I don't use app stores. My reasons for leaving Phoenix forever have nothing to do with the tech. They abandoned ship and are cowards. Last night I spent hours going through your Blixt documentation. I am really enjoying learning the things that can be done with some work.

tried this? https://zap.store/download/

Imho, it's a plus if a wallet does not conform to US, Google & co.

agree they were scared

Yes! @franzap is doing great work. I think he's slowly adding more apps. I downloaded primal from there. From now on I first try zap store, then obtanium or a straight apk.

The cool thing is you can install and update Obtainium from zap.store

This 100% right.

Last night I spent hours going through your Blixt documentation.

Blixt is far more complex than Phoenix. Pay attention to what is explained there.

I'm also learning a lot however I haveng used any till now. So, phoenix isn't available any more or it's just for US people?

It is no longer available in the US. I guess I could play around with a VPN, but I don't want any part of Phoenix any more.

I see that's because they ran away with tail between legs. But I want to know if the government there had left any chance to stay them in the US after the drama that unfolded about Samourai?

The US government gives no clarity. They violated their own guidelines when arresting the Samourai guys.

The same everywhere! Indian government says that they don't recognise Bitcoin and can't allow it. Just say. There's no order or anything like that. But, they imposed a heavy tax on it. Almost 31%. How can they tax something they don't recognise?

Wise words! We can't let ourselves get complacent because things are constantly changing.

I realize I forget stuff when I'm not challenged. I forgot how cool the lightning network is.
