Phaedrus

I've been using @PhoenixWallet for almost three months, paying salaries for 11 people on a weekly basis, every Monday, using only #Bitcoin & the #LightningNetwork I've been thoroughly impressed. I tried a few different self-custody lightning wallets and, of those I tried, Phoenix was the best. It's easy, fees are low, and it just works. Up until the ordinal craze, what I'd been doing was sending Bitcoin to a custodial lightning wallet every Monday. So I'd make one on-chain transaction followed by eleven salary-payments over lightning. But higher on-chain fees meant a 1:11 ratio was too high. And I'm not comfortable with leaving several weeks worth of salary payments in a custodial wallet. With Phoenix, I have no issue, as no one else controls the wallet's private keys. I've made only 2 on-chain funding transactions since March, and paying salaries have been super easy and super quick every week. Granted, I would've saved on fees if I had continued using the same custodial wallet as the coaches, to whose lightning-address-enabled-wallets I pay their salaries, but the fees are still negligible and a (more than) worthwhile price to pay for the peace of mind provided by self-custody. Also, I am actively learning about self-custody, running a lightning node, learning to manage channels, etc. But, for salaries, I can't afford to have something go wrong. I can't ask our staff to wait a day for payment, because I'm still learning how all of this works. Hence, an easy to use, self-custody lightning wallet was the right option. Three things that's missing though, which it'd be great if @Phoenix could add, is the following: - Export transaction history to CSV. I know this was recently announced for the iPhone app, so I'm assuming it'll soon be available for the Android version. - Conversion rates to South African Rand (ZAR) This is not a deal breaker. But our organizational salaries are contractually based on Rand values. I would still calculate salaries in sats anyway, because conversion rates between wallets have small discrepancies. But, for easy and quick reference, local fiat conversion rates would be great. - Multiple wallets? From a technical perspective, for a mobile self-custody lightning wallet, I don't know if this would be possible, but, for example, it'd be great if one could have separate wallets for paying salaries and other expenses. To avoid doing everything from a single wallet.
