 If I use Phoenix wallet, couldn't I just stop using Zeus and Alby custodial, and zap over my Minibits wallet?

#asknostr 
 Sure but it's still custodial just once removed.  
 Doesn't really bother me, as I hardly have anything in the Minibits one and the Phoenix sats can't be stolen, just force-closed. Going to go full-custodial on the GitCitadel wallet, but I don't really see the point for my personal 5000 sats or whatever. 
 You can zap from Phoenix (at least on some clients). Not sure about receiving though. 
 Also, anyone running the Alby Hub docker image from their Linux machine?

 Finrod wants to be a "cool kid" and struggle running cln like me XD 
 😅  Gonna take forever. He's trying to setup like 15 servers simultaneously. 
 If they have a docker, I’m gonna just run it and save myself the trouble 
 You people and docker XD 
 Not everyone has the luxury to tinker 😂  
 Phoenix have LN addresses now, I didn’t try it yet but I assume you can directly zap from your Phoenix wallet 
 👀  
 Ah, it gives me a LN address that I can receive zaps to. I'll post that on my profile, in case my pretty Minibits address is acting up. 
 It gave me polarsaver63@phoenixwallet.me address, but it doesn't seem to work. 🤷‍♀️ 
 Oh you’re right, I tried to send you sats and it didn’t work, I also tried to zap myself with another wallet and the same result happened 
 Maybe their server is down. 
 It could be, but I know that Phoenix addresses are Bolt12, so my bet would be that it works differently than traditional LN addresses and are (for now) incompatible, it’s sad I would love to use this for my Nostr profile 
 I’m trying to withdraw funds from Mutiny and then look for another self-custody wallet 
 Everyone seems to like Zeus and Alby Hub. 
 I haven’t had either of them. Maybe I’ll try them to see how it’s going. 
 I thought phoenix wallet only supported bolt-12 for the reusable ln address. There’s been a new update after that? 
 Apparently not. Doesn't work. 
 If the sending wallet supports bolt-12, it probably will 
 Tried Zeus and Alby, but they didn't work. Now, I've just linked my Alby to my Minibits and called it a day. 
 I think there’s core lightning, eclair, phoenix and zeus (with a core lightning node) that support bolt-12

 I do that with Phoenix and Minibits. Still had Alby+Zeus to zap-out over NWC, but Minibits has that, now. I'm getting confused, with all of the wallets. 😅  
 Okay, moved my Alby sats to Minibits and then linked those wallets.
