Best Lightning Wallet Apps Working with Poor Network Connection As Tested in Zimbabwe 2024
"Given that none of the available self-custodial wallets are developed by Africans, they are rarely used or tested here. I was here to find out what works and what does not," wrote Anita Posch.
- "From my educator’s perspective, my top choices are the Phoenix and Mutiny wallet. Everything works with Phoenix, you don’t need to worry about channel management and payments are even faster than with the custodial Wallet of Satoshi."
"The fees for payments in Phoenix might be off-putting, from that perspective one might look into Mutiny as it is convincing due to its user-friendliness, making it ideal for beginners."
- "Mutiny’s channel opening was more expensive though and it doesn’t offer auto channels. Part of their business model is the optional Mutiny+ subscription for 16,000 sats per month."
"Green would be a strong recommendation, particularly for those who value additional options like Liquid and on-chain transactions in a single wallet with one seed. As long as their Lightning payments aren’t working, it’s a No-go obviously."
- "Blixt and Zeus are more suited for advanced users due to their range of options, but they did not work in my tests."
- "To choose the optimal wallet, it’s important to ask yourself what are the main goals and the features you’ll need. Getting a deeper understanding through my online learning program will guide you in that endeavor."
