I use lightning to pay for paying friends back, buying goods (oshi, in person meetups, bitcoin events, buying meat, being the dj on @NoderunnersRadio)
I mainly use wallet of satoshi for ease of use but am going to look into Phoenix.
Don't care it's custodial. Don't keep much on there. ⚡⚡⚡⚡
I've thought about this as well. I think it's important as someone who is Bitcoin literate to at least give non-custodial solutions a try and then I can make an informed decision from there.
If 1,000 of us "just use custodial because it's easy" that adds up to a lot of #sats in centralized custody. Not saying WoS is a legitimate rug, but it's something we have to give some merit to.
Agree! Which non custodial wallet do you use?

Won't even consider anything else.
That’s a good point. I didn’t consider volume in terms of the number of users who “only hold a small amount” on a custodial wallet.
It seems like the ideal lighting wallet is:
- non-custodial
- fast & simple to use
- offers a lightning address (email format)
- includes BTC map & other merchant-friendly features
