What do you use to move applications around your desktop? I have hotkeys to move between split left and split right. I feel like a monitor this wide would complicate things. But maybe just one more ho...

Give tiling window managers a try... Hyprland, DWM, etc

Node startup shouldn’t last more than a minute. Would try reinstalling.

geodesic @geodesic 1756783708

I have, 3 times now.

Its especially strange, because I already had a working Zeus install before I tried this 🫠

Check the logs under Menu > Embedded node > LND logs This sometimes happens due to lack of storage or RAM

This is just my opinion ofc. I won't be offended if you tell me to kick rocks 😅

But, IMO, a "Venmo mode" UI would make it possible for me to get my normie friends into non-custodial lightning

Which menus / settings do you think need to be tucked away more?

geodesic @geodesic 1756781747

Well, I just tried a fresh install, to give you more detailed opinions about the "quick start" mode, but I have been unable to get it to setup. Been waiting for hours, and it still just hangs on the first screen saying "ZEUS is starting your node". I tried deleting the app and trying again, but same result.... hours of waiting (and keeping the phone active) with no success 🤷

But, in response to your question, I can at least comment on the UI from the screen below... IMO, most of this should go away. Theres power tools and features that I personally love here, but it overwhelms the normies. I'm thinking a UI that looks like Venmo/CashApp or something. The user only sees basic send/receive choices, address book, and basically nothing else.

Fiat: spend now, regret later. Bitcoin: save now, freedom later. Which future do you want your family to inherit?

Idk, every time I've ever spent my Bitcoin, I regretted it later

I'm having a "we made you peach cobbler to celebrate the last day of summer, but since you refuse to clean your room, I'm not going to wait any longer to eat mine" sort of day

You can just hit Quick Start and the wrapped invoices are in by default

geodesic @geodesic 1756761911

Yes, and that's what I currently recommend, but the design (with all the advanced menus) is daunting for "normies". It would go a long way to have a "simple app" that doesn't have any of those options and only offers the default mode.

Just an idea. I realize Zeus is not necessarily for "normies", but damn I'm tired of sending people to WoS and Alby

@ZEUS any chance of an "easy mode" wallet, which has none of the advanced features, and just does the default /simplest non-custodial setup?

I'm thibking embedded LND + LSP w/ wrapped invoices. Ideally zero advanced settings available.

What is the preferred way to on-board someone to self-custodial lightning these days? @ZEUS is epic, but my mom is going to have a stroke if I ask her to set it up.
