I thought it was supposed to be better because it's all self contained to lightning. No need to run a website for an address

I just saw this new version today. Is it self custodial?
I also like that I can set up more than 1 vault. I was looking for a way to have a Bitcoin "allowance" for my kids that I can have all together on my phone since they are too young for their own devices.
This seems like it would be great for that.

I didn't get the 900 sats right away apparently. I did this yesterday and nothing showed up instantly. But I just checked now and it's there. So nevermind 😂

I tried paying my Zeus nuts lightning address from coinos wallet and it didn't work. Good bye 900 sats!
But I was able to pay an e cash invoice created on Zeus for 100 sats from coinos.

2025-06-13 14:24:02 UTC

Who has young kids around 6? What wallet do you use for their allowance/Bitcoin?
I'm looking for something that I can show them as theirs but it would be on my phone.

You put your strike account info in your credit card website. And choose pay from that account. In strike you select pay from cash balance or Bitcoin balance. Then just pay using the strike account numbers

It doesn't matter too much to me if strike issues the credit card. I can pick any card I want but I still use strike to pay it.

Strike lets you hold bitcoin and pay bills with Bitcoin. They convert it for you.
I just wish they didn't charge a fee for it. It would be nice if they actually offered rewards but no fee is fine.

2025-01-31 06:38:24 UTC

I'm conflicted.
It can be good because it will drive interest, innovation, and capital to Bitcoin and to lightning.
But it can be bad because it may hinder full Bitcoin adoption. And it's basically a shit coin on Bitcoin.
Somehow. We are going to be able to send Bitcoin or tether transactions on chain now and lightning.

2025-01-31 06:25:51 UTC

How would tether move on layer 1 Bitcoin and lightning. I don't understand.
