It's not for everyone, but I love using my own lightning node.

own lightning wallet... ofc

Large payments, onchain. Small payments, onchain. Tiny payments, lightning. Micro payments, ecash.

onchain or LN depends on the value of the tx. but in a normal situation let's say its LN, my order now is 1)Spark 2)Custodial 3)own. 1)because it's convinient, also has onchain and have some control over funds 2) convenience for small amounts it's ok. 3)Phoenix mostly, it's almost as good as 1 or 2 ...

I prefer own Lightning wallet for paying with Bitcoin (with Alby Hub on server and Alby Go on mobile)

Own lightning wallet is ideal.

Large payments, onchain. Small payments, onchain. Tiny payments, non-custodial lightning. (Phoenix Wallet) Micro payments, custodial lightning. (WoS)

I use Alby hub on my own start9 for lightning. I also have Aqua as a backup. I like Aqua for the sole purpose of, if I convince someone new to use Bitcoin for small payments at least it's non custodial and they don't have to worry about channel management since it's Liquid.

Lightning wallet (my own or custodial doesn't matter much).

Do not add Spark / Ark crap onto Alby Hub ! It will be the end of Alby... YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. https://i.postimg.cc/tRKRJJpr/Junk_apps.png

Use on-chain for self custody. To pay last mile swap it from liquid into a custodial lightning wallet and pay.

On-chain for savings or larger payments that are not very time-sensative. Liquid L-BTC atomic-swapped with lightning for meidum-sized, time-sensative payments. Custodial lightning via Cashu for smaller-sized, time-sensative payments. * nostr:npub18ull0tdnj9vugtq259k48szg80al44ta7g4fa85nvj3svaq7kt...

Own lightning wallet

Own LN. Using primal

own lightning node connected to umbrel home server via tailscale

Zeus Wallet —> AlbyHub —> Start9

Long term - on chain Spending - LN (Blixt)

For onchain I use Sparrow paired with my own node. For lightning - happy with Phoenix. Will probably run a lightning node again - just took a break from it for now.

I use 3 main solutions in concert. Shakepay. Good for onboard / swap and pay. Tangem wallet for cold storage. Wallet of Satoshi for zapping

Onchain cause fees are low! No excuses.

I would recommend a multi level system. A wallet like Phoenix (self custody) - that can do lightning & and onchain - on your iphone for “pocket money” in day to day life and then some real safe distributed cold storage solutions

Self custody WoS

Cold storage to lightning to eCash mobile wallet.

Onchain ⛓️‍💥 Cove + tapsigner for sub 1k Sparrow + Coldcard Lightning ⚡️ Phoenix Wallet Micropayments or social Primal Fountain

With a lightning custodial wallet.I don't run my own lightning wallet yet.

AlbyGo Lightning Wallet + Albyhub on Raspiblitz

Onchain to stack Lightning from multiple places, some custodial some not - to spend. And I guess #5

The most secure way is with BIP47. Never custodial. As private as possible. Sovereign.

Custodial LN (NWC wallets) is fine for everyday payments. Above €100 is use Strike, Above €1000 cold Trezor.

lighting wallet like Phoenix or breez. Simple to use, lots of features/options. Runs well doesn't crash or get stuck.

Definitly cashu because the fees are almost inexistant and for simplicity.
