Wait... disappeared? Try going to the App Store on iPhone or Play Store on Android and pushing Open. I have a thing where my shortcuts disappear completely from the phone but can be launched from the respective app store. Recommending wallets though... if you're happy with WoS then I would recommend setting up a Alby wallet on your desktop, then linking that to Zeus or Blue Wallet on your phone. Basically it means no phone usage for when on the desktop as Alby does the lifting. Also it means your sats balance is shared/the same between Desktop+Mobile. If you are looking for something that won't get you rug pulled, then it's probably wise to look at Mutiny Wallet or Zeus with their own LSP. Mind you it can cost a little bit to open a channel and it's fairly slow compared to WoS/Alby ... but it's self-custody and that can make the difference.

Thank you for the informations, well explained and helpful. I can’t use WOS on Damus anymore, but I am not in the US, strange. Used it for storing some Sats for Zaps, which was easy to handle. I once had voltage Cloud as LaaS but forgot to pay. 🫣 Also google cloud-don’t feel it :) I find all this interesting, but it's overwhelming and there are a lot of changes to keep up with. I would appreciate tips or recommendations for a complete self-custody system ( also buying without KYC in EU, Relai maybe ? ) that I can “install” once and not have to think about anymore. I am also considering getting a hardware wallet, maybe waiting until Bitkey is available.

Hmm Do you mean zapping people's posts on Damus or the actual zap link on their profile? I know Apple are anal and decided to stop post zapping but allow profile zapping. For a complete self-custody setup I guess there is Zeus wallet and Mutiny wallet. They require 50,000 or 100,000 sats to open some channels and get liquidity going, after that you should be smooth sailing but sadly I've found them recently to be not quite as responsive as WoS/Alby. Hardware wallet is probably mucho recommended unless you go for a paper wallet and have it laminated and in different places etc. I recommend https://boltz.exchange/ for swapping from Lightning to On-Chain and vice-versa. There should be many other swap services around though I think. For buying non-kyc sats/bitcoin I use Robosats and sometimes Bisq. https://learn.robosats.com/ https://bisq.network/ Best thing though is to find a miner who will sell you non-kyc sats for the market price. If they complain, tell them that cash/fiat is disappearing as well and a fair tradeoff is what you're after. Good Luck!

Still got problems: 1. Can’t connect a new wallet to Damus 2. Sending Sats from my WOS wallet to the new phoenix wallet does not work. https://image.nostr.build/39bd002485217663797d1172ff36a0cd0e05395debbf32aa3bc7be2f9f8e8cd7.jpg https://image.nostr.build/39f2a04083c3cbef8e9b9e53ac28d0606de619c7a208da81fc605606ccb231b1.jpg

Hmm.. Not sure about the WoS -> Phoenix problems you're having. Wondering if a channel has to be established or some kind of liquidity has to be made first on Phoenix. Don't think so from memory.. (Can anyone clarify?) Also the Damus Wallet issue.. If you don't want to open up your lightning wallet every time to zap... in the Damus Wallet Settings there is the ability to attach to an Alby Wallet or to attach to a wallet I believe through a NWC (Nostr Wallet Connect) style connection. What this means is that when you zap... Damus takes it upon itself to zap without you having to use your Lightning wallet! Also the mining idea is fantatsic btw... I've been using Apollo Futurebits as they only take 200-300W of energy. I'm contemplating the Apollo 2 however which has just been released. https://shop.futurebit.io
