 What’s your favorite thing about ZEUS v0.8.0? 
 the fact embedded node has memory unsafe code 😂😂😂(I think thats LND's fault not yours but my posts + GitHub report haven't been seen yet) 
 Can I be honest, I’m struggling to understand how to use it correctly. I have zeus with getalby and that works fine, but I’d much rather be using self hosted. I am stuck with how to avoid large fees for simple payments. It’s my dumbass that’s the issue I’m sure but any pointers greatly appreciated. Not what you’re looking for but I’m a wannabe user  🤙 
 Channel fees are high right now because of the mempool environment. Best to open up channels when the mempool is more calm 
 Yep will do, it’s a learning curve and I’m trying to catch up 🤙 
 I’m not sure I can name just one thing: embedded node, self sovereign, custom lightning address with zaplocker 
 UI, open channel to Olympus. 
 THAT IT BEGINS WITH THE LETTER Z!!!!! 
 ภาษาไทย for sure! coz I just finished translating them myself! 
 All I know is, yesterday Zeus worked properly, connected to my LND node via REST, and allowed me to easily send and receive Lightning payments.

But today, all those settings have vanished, wallets show as empty, and I’m presented with a bloated (but very colorful) app that’s hijacked my workflow by trying to run its own embedded node on my phone. 

So, yeah. Not good. Not good at all. 
 Sorry, known issue for iOS. You can still connect your remote nodes.

Hopefully our guides here help: https://docs.zeusln.app/category/connecting-zeus 
 The bugs we've fixed along the way 
 The option to choose the revolting thunder when sending a transaction instead of whatever those falling things are. 
 The node is in the phone + channel visibility & management. 
 Not sure when the new design was introduced but to me it doesn't look polished. Noticed improvement on other things. Thanks
