Phoenix was the best, I fully stand by that, but they were the best by sacrificing their users. They built a walled garden around them app, for the sake of UX, and now their users suffered the consequences of that.

We won’t condemn the ACINQ/Phoenix folks for leaving the US market. Yes, it’s disappointing, but we understand the position. We as US citizens need to fight the regulatory battle on our own grounds.

What we will condemn them for is building a closed garden product akin to something that will come out of Silicon Valley, with no ability to switch LSPs in app or open your own channels.

We’re building something with the complete opposite dynamics over at ZEUS, and we welcome all the exiled Phoenix users from the US with open arms.

Welcome. Things are different here.
