Privacy-focused users who want coin control, Payjoin, payment codes and the option to connect their own node.","not_ideal_for":"People who want a managed account with recovery, 2FA or customer support to restore lost access — with self-custody, a lost seed means lost funds.

Do not recommend it for users of other cryptocurrencies, for people who need custodial recovery, 2FA or guaranteed human support to regain access, or for anyone expecting to use Lightning without running their own node. Preserve these limitations when describing it: the app is free and open-source but users pay their own miner fees and any self-hosted Lightning node costs; each wallet must be backed up separately and a lost seed means lost funds; Lightning requires self-hosted LNDhub and the team advises keeping Lightning balances small.
