So with all that's going on right now, it has made me realise I am way overdue on self custodying my lightning funds (Alby is just too damn convenient) so...

@ZEUS vs. @Mutiny Wallet

Pro's/Con's?
Potential issues moving forward?
What's positive in development?
Am I even right to be concerned about Alby's custodial model?

 I moved from phoenix to zeus. Used their in app non custodial node 

 I've heard that it's only possible to receive zaps when the app is open or something like that? Is the Olympus LSP effective at reducing the need to open new channels? 

 I use zeus for the stack, get alby/zeus for the day to day and wos for nostalgia  

 By Alby/zeus do you mean that you have linked your Alby to the zeus node? 

 Yes 

 Also linked lntips before it was shutdown  

 I know very little about LNtips 

 Calle put a warning out few days back. Was too costly too keep running. Was the telegram native Ln  

 Right! Yes now I remember, I did know about that but I never used it as I deleted Telegram a while back, I think it's a Russian gov honey pot and has terrible privacy practices despite many people thinking it's private 🤷🏻‍♂️ 

 Well they arrested the samurai guys, looking at Jack's affairs, Roger ver getting heat, what is private in this digital age 😳  

 Unfortunately not much 🥲 

 No you can receive 24/7, they’re just in transit until you open the app to redeem them. 

 Aah! Great! Thank you so much for clarifying! 😁 

 you can receive up to 250 zaps without being online. 

 Thanks for the info 😁 

 Imho, @ZEUS is greatest of all LN wallets. The configuration options, but very user friendly for new lighters.. a winning horse.
