Trying to choose a mobile wallet for someone to graduate to from custodial (WoS). I narrowed it down to a few choices based on my use case, wonder if people could give their 2 sats.
Use case:
- Already have and use a hardware wallet
- Use Alby for for nostr management (login, zaps) and pocket change sats
- Do not want to go too deep into channel management, do not want to run and manage a node (yet. that will come with a btc node as planned)
Narrowed choices:
#BlueWallet
Versatile, simple, clean. On-chain & Lightning both. Even multisig. But Lightning requires own node / LndHUB so it would be attached to Alby, which is probably fine. Lots of wallet types possible. Swiss army knife feel.
#Mutiny Wallet
Cross-platform. Can be PWA so usable over web like Alby. Also simple. On-chain and Lightning both. Has minimal channel management, an ideal level probably. Enough to get familiar with it without it becoming a big worry for day-to-day UX. I dig Mutiny's vibe oh! also has Nostr integration, so it's a possible for Alby replacement altogether. If keeping Alby, may be redundant to have Mutiny if it'll serve the same purpose. I'm definitely keeping an eye on Mutiny development, one of the most interesting projects to me atm.
#Phoenix Wallet and #Muun Wallet
These ones felt similar to me, both like almost natural nice light step away from Wallet of Satoshi on the custodial-noncustodial move. Channel management seems minimal like Mutiny. Simple combined-balance display. Phoenix has in-app Tor as an option and possibility to link. Muun has an alternative to the usual seed phrase for backup/recovery, including using email (like Wallet of Satoshi im guessing).
#Zeus
Feels the most advanced in capabilities and target users out of all the bunch. Even if using Quick Start to use the embedded node/LSP, all those possible configurations and settings are sure to trigger curiosity OCD. Possibility to link with Alby LndHUB and use it from there. The UI looks serious and luxurious, I dig it. Am I getting the wrong impression of this wallet? I would see it as the next wallet to "graduate" to when closer or ready to run own node as a big boy. Oh, Nostr friendlist import is always a nice add.
Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
Leaning towards Muun or Phoenix, with Muun slightly edging first because of the email-based recovery. Can be nice to not have to keep and secure yet another seed phrase if the wallet is going to be for pocket change basically.
If anyone feels like sharing their 2 sats, misconceptions I have or suggestions, still appreciated!
