zeus VS umbrel

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

I really thought this article was going to offer a solution, not just enumerate the problems. I'm already all too familiar with the problems.

I like what Umbrel[0] is doing. They're essentially expecting that just like computing was able to move from centralized mainframes to homes, servers are poised to make the same migration.

I think they really need to solve redundancy, though. If I'm to self-host anything important on a home server, I need to know I'll have some way to use it even if my home server fails, especially if I'm not at home when it happens.

I'd love to see some kind of system where I could partner up with other Umbrel users for backups/the ability to restore connectivity. If I knew that in an emergency, I could call my friend in town or my brother out of state and there was some procedure that would allow me to connect to an encrypted backup of what I'm needing, I would feel a lot better about taking responsibility for my own system.

I did my node via umbrel super easy to setup ;) https://umbrel.com

It's also not secure according to the repo here: https://github.com/getumbrel/umbrel/blob/master/SECURITY.md

For those interested in setting up a their own lightning node, check out Raspibolt, Umbrel, Plebnet .

There are a few raspberry pi solutions, including: - https://umbrel.com

I did it with the instructions/tutorial from https://umbrel.com/
