 I lost my Zeus wallet but I've got the seed.
How can I restore?

 Does Zeus (or anyone) offer zaplocker as a stand-alone service?  IE can you make it work with Phoenix or other self custodial mobile wallet? 

 People can theoretically make their own clients but it requires a Lightning wallet that allows you to create invoices w custom pre images 

 Got it.  I’ll definitely be checking out the new node-is-in-the-phone Zeus soon, but I already have Phoenix and Blixt with funds and channels 😂.

The zaplocker idea seems like a great way to get off of Alby etc, hope to see more wallets add it. 

 is zeus another app similar to wallet of satoshi?  

 It’s a wallet but it’s self custodial and private 

 With Zeus, the node is in your phone 

 i dont get it. can i run a lightning node in my phone? 

 Yes.

 ok. thanks is not best if you do a video tutorial about it so i can look it up and set it up? 

 tried it... but is at to scan a qr code. not sure what it is. 
i knew until now the lighting network is private only whe  you run your own node other you have not got the keys. correct? 

 Yes, that’s a prerequisite 

 so this app is only if you have your own lighting node? correct? 

 You are not a real bitcoiner if in your mobile device you do not have Zeus.

 one true scotsman has spoken. 

 When the final version? 

 What are the requirements to get white listed? It seems I can't announce my channels until my node gets white listed. 

 1 btc+ capacity
Low latency
High uptime
Good peers 

 First req - ow. This u https://image.nostr.build/f779892e31cd05e265aa5ed5171a1a661e9ef57cc4d5da5f6536a529e6b29150.gif  

 LOL

Everyone is free to open unannounced channels. Gotta maintain a great payments experience for our LSP users. 

 This is all I heard https://image.nostr.build/2c9640043109537c1b6f71e7a0411359d9047cfee9f698ea3b1e500929b2198b.gif
