3) Last night at Bitcoin Park in Nashville, Zeus wallet announced imminent release of Olympus with embedded node on your phone

Your cold wallet is your savings account. You can top up a hot wallet/lightning spending wallet (your checking account) as and when you need. Recommended lightning wallets, Alby, Breez, Phoenix, Zeus and Muun wallet.

The wallet is Zeus

Zeus, which works with or without LndHub.

Zeus v0.6.6 (Released: 26th August 2022) - https://github.com/ZeusLN/zeus/releases

Since Zap halted development I switched to Zues. It's a worthy replacement: https://zeusln.app/

If you're looking to build a wallet that connects back to a user's own node, then Zeus LN wallet is the favorite around here. They're open source, take a look. Source: https://github.com/ZeusLN/zeus

If you're scared, you can audit the codes yourself at the Zeus github page.

Install either Zeus or BlueWallet;

Zeus v0.6.2 and v0.6.4 - Release page - Upgrade guide Tighten up login process; Unconfirmed balance hot fix; New unit toggle on Send and Receive views; Settings > Security: Allow users to choose whether to scramble PIN pad; LND: let users spend unconfirmed UTXOs; some bug fixes

It's complicated. The more steps you take to obfuscate your transaction, the harder it will be for an adversary to track your coins. You can look into using something like the JoinMarket Wallet to keep your transaction more private.

You can use coinjoin services like joinmarket to anonymize your coins. You can also send them through a lightning swap.

This is a bitcoin service delivered in a low trust manner where the bitcoin user need only utilize software they run and control for the services and can protect themselves from malicious third parties with very little trust or consequence from peers. This is the gold standard of Bitcoin service. Examples include lightning routing, lightning liquidity marketplaces like pool, coinjoins like joinmarket, coinswaps, submarine swaps like loop and others.

If you want to play with OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY, you can use the wallet in JoinMarket to create a fidelity bond. Be careful, though, because it's absolutely impossible to spend such a bond until its expiration.

I opened a GitHub issue - https://github.com/JoinMarket-Org/joinmarket-clientserver/issues/1349.
