Lightweight & native
phoenixd is compiled to native binaries for linux, mac (x86 & arm) and windows (wsl).
Phoenix was already fast on mobile, but on server it flies!
This would make a great LNBits or BTCPayserver funding source

When app @umbrel
I just searched the App Store hoping to see it. 🙏🏼
Am I understanding this could be a lnd/cln node alternative?
Eclair is the direct alternative by Acinq. Phoenixd is based on eclair but abstracts all the complexity away so the user doesn't have to think about channels, liquidity etc...
I didn't know there were people (outside Acinq) who run eclair
Apparently it's really good, never tried it though.

This is the model i think it makes sense. Node in the phone is not good. Node in the server and a thin client on the phone through API.
This sounds epic. Mind blowingly epic. Im thinking this needs to be a 1 click setup on voltage and Lightning is ready for a 50x merchant adoption.
Can this be used as a funding source for LNbits?
This has interesting trade offs. If ACINQ added an optional way to get an LNAdress from them without having to run your own web server it could be very helpful. Then someone like Umbrel could do a one click install to give folks a way to self host and self custody an always on LN node without channel management.
They are implement bolt12, right?
I would love that. Didn’t see it on the API.
Yes bolt-12 is under very active development and they have been active in spec development.
Blnded paths will also be a big win for privacy when using an LSP like ACINQ.
Any chance the Phoenix server is coming to start9 and or Umbrel?
Great news. 🚀
Bring it to Umbrel.
