 Zeus, Muun, Phoenix. 
 I tried Zeus but it's bit-janky 
 Where did you hit issues? Let’s make it better. 
 I get a lot failed payments.
Idk what the issue could be.
Sometimes it’s small zaps (less then 100sat) & sometimes it’s mid zaps (25k-50k sats) https://image.nostr.build/e26d342d313288635416ebc89beca2293d392e78600a52b88e6bea0e46de2921.jpg  
 Do you have Express Graph Sync on? What are your fee limits set to? 
 Yes & I believe they are set to the default fees? https://image.nostr.build/c0993bf6615decea96c462f0318f52f449cc6df1a04b000be73dc2c8701fbc6a.jpg  
 Looks good. I wonder if Express Graph Sync is not triggering when you do a zap. Do you ever have to wait for it to sync before you zap? 
 No I’ve never seen it say that before zapping 
 That might be it. Otherwise if you’re paying ZEUS Pay users it’s normal for payments to show as being in transit until they redeem them. 
 I can definitely say it happens when I send sats from my Zeus wallet to my Phoenix wallet.
I don’t think I’ve had any issue with Zeus to Zeus payments tho. 
 Main issue is that Zeus tells me I don't have sufficient inbound liquidity, but the wallet shows I have 1,501 sats of inbound. Won't let me accept invoices well below that amount. 

Also it sometimes crashes or hangs. 
 It probably exceeds the remote channel reserve. You can see it by going to the individual channel view 
 
Remote reserve has enough

 You need at least the reserve amount of the other side of the channel to receive more 
 What do you mean? I have 100 sat invoice, why would that reserve not be enough? 
 No I think you have to send more to be able to receive more. Roughly 4k out 
 This sounds suspiciously like a Christmas parable about how you need to give to receive.  
 😂 indeed 
 I think this is the best mobile wallet when you run your own node. I am also watching LNBITS for business as they have lots of wonderful plug-ins for their platform. CSV files, POS. Zeus makes a good way around high fees on Muun or Phoenix, Without ruggability built in. Fees on lightning seem to be something bitcoin devs are working out right now, Sending 1 sat should be the standard right? 
 Because the inbound is less than the reserve
