Unruggable is simply the wrong adjective
Non custodial doesn't fit right either, although it might be technically true
You might say it's a self-custodial mint?
It certainly ought to be the default way to run a mint! Exciting times.

The majority of end users won't see any difference. Their funds are gone. They were effectively rugged.

2026-05-01 00:05:07 CEST

- reply

The mint (or data center) operator can power off the mint so it's definitely ruggable
The non custodial part though does have some technical nuance. And of course this approach ought to be much safer for users.
Very nice!!

Just tried Zeus 13 - wow, it's great! Easy to setup and much faster startup time. The ecash integration is also very well thought out.
And it's possible that it is slightly faster than minibits to get to the payment screen, with the caveat that the app must **already be open**
From startup, minibits will get you to payment QR scan in under 2 seconds
Zeus with LDK still takes around 20 seconds, in the quick test made just now
Another awesome thing about Zeus is that the fees are very low (they were zero in our tests) so fair to say that this wallet is a great alternative to Phoenix

We haven't found a faster (private) lightning wallet

Multidevice possibility is something that simplex doesn't have
Also the fact you will have a choice of clients (including web) with Marmot
Right now, Simplex is more stable / uses less battery / has voice & video etc but the project has a multiyear head start. Marmot clients will catch up.
About the no user id thing, not sure how it compares actually, assumption is that receive addresses / metadata are hidden to relays but could be wrong. There is also the question of auth identity. Would be a good question for todays call at 1600 UTC

2026-04-07 11:49:56 CEST

- reply

It would be possible, and much safer / easier / better UX than WA or TG
Not sure it's necessary though. White Noise will be superior to Simplex, eventually, especially once we have multidevice support (and voice/video calls)

Great piece, very useful
An alternative approach (different tradeoffs) is to rent a long term (real) sim online, and use this for kyc facing interactions
This way the number isn't tied to your geolocation and you don't need the extra device
Then, use your main graphene phone without sim - always in airplane mode. Always. If you ever turn it off, even without sim, you just pinged a cell tower your device identifier.
Finally, for mobile internet, a second graphene with a data only sim. No apps. Use this phone only for hotspot, when there is no wifi, and turn off immediately (or at that familiar junction) when not in use. This way you can swap out your "marked" device without needing to transfer your local data.

Ideally yes, and if you are connecting direct to each signer then it will probably be smooth
Problems are more likely when you ask any remote signer counterparties to provide their xpub, as signers won't necessarily provide m/84' by default
