As far as I know: yes. See the fees page.
But, if you don't have enough receiving liquidity, Phoenix will have to open a new channel again.

Android on my old phone is too old to update Phoenix Wallet, and I don't want to install more wallets on my regular phone. That's why I disabled "Automatic on-the-fly channel creation to avoid high fees" (from Settings).

Wallet of Satoshi is custodial, so it doesn't open (on-chain) channels for you. Phoenix Wallet is non-custodial after opening the channel. That's the difference.
In my experience, custodial LN wallets work easier. Just don't trust them with with large amounts.

See:
Considering how high on-chain fees are at the moment, 20k sats seems correct.

That's true. But on-chain you'll pay that for each transaction, and with LN only for the first transaction (as long as you have enough liquidity).
Or just use a custodial LN wallet (for small amounts), so you don't have any on-chain costs.

I still have a few open channels in Phoenix Wallet (created years ago, when on-chain fees were much lower).
Those channels are almost empty, but have receiving liquidity. There's no point for Phoenix Wallet to close them, as it would only cost them transaction fees. I still have 2 seed phrases from different installations, and I think I have a total of 4 open channels.

Android on my old phone is too old to update Phoenix Wallet, and I don't want to install more wallets on my regular phone.

That can't be, as there's evidence suggesting 4 years have 246 weeks. And counting, of course

I'm more curious when "5 years" will be hit: will that be after 260 weeks, or after 261 weeks? Including all leap years since Foxpup's Merit Cycling Club started, it would be a perfect 5 year milestone at exactly 261 weeks!

It always scares me a bit how GazetaBitcoin seems to remember everything that was every posted here.

Two years ago (2022), I won by picking stable coins before the bear market hit. Now, with the Bitcoin halving next year, I'm not going to do that.

This year (2023), I started with this:
And now I'm here (ignore the small change in amount of coins):
Not very impressive, which is why I'm not into trading altcoins
The last one went as expected:

1. For 2024, I have high hopes for privacy coin Monero now that theymos is going to ban advertising mixers, so that's my first and largest pick.

2. I still have hopes for this:
So I'll add Doge again.

3. My third pick is going to be Stellar Lumens, because it also seems to bubble up every 4-ish years. Although extrapolating the graph, that's going to happen in 2025. In that case I'll just add it again the year after.

4. That leaves the shittiest of all shitcoins, down even further than the Top 100. I'll just pick #101, which I've never seen before.

To summarize, this is my 2024 portfolio:

Monero	50%	https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/monero	26
Dogecoin	25%	https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/dogecoin	10
Stellar	20%	https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/stellar	24
Sei	5%	https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/sei	101

Good luck to all!

I changed my mind: it should be Ninja.girl for maximum category compatibility

Doesn't that make him the perfect antihero candidate?

I don't mind the lack of coins (which I don't use anyway), but coin control is indeed needed. I'm using Tor and "From Blockchain" instead of API for maximum privacy, only to get my inputs connected on-chain.

I don't get it: this is the reason I posted What happened to Coinomi?, which you Merited and linked from your OP. Why did you still use Coinomi for Monero?

Last update: March 19, 2022. It's unfortunate.

I now use Feather for Monero (dust), a hot wallet on my desktop.

It's a Club

That would mean increasing the dust limit 100-fold.

There are currently 22747542 Bitcoin addresses with less 0.0005BTC (using yesterday's data). That's 44% of all funded Bitcoin addresses, holding 2593.58118332BTC in total.
I don't think the protocol needs to exclude those small Bitcoin owners. At current fees, their inputs are too small to send anyway.

I'm more for education, like my "consolidate small inputs" topic. People should try to avoid receiving small amounts of Bitcoin. Whenever possible, use small change for something else. Be smart on manually using coin control. Wait for regular payments to reach a larger amounts (mining pools could educate their small miners on this). Or indeed, just use low-fee altcoins for some payments. But that's not the scaling solution Bitcoin needs.

I've seen many scamming mixers over the years. Until recently, I didn't realize some mixers may just be created by non-scamming bad guys in need of good people looking for privacy. I can't be certain which mixers fall in which category, but by now I think it's likely both exist.
I also considered Bitcointalk the place to be to find honest mixers. It's weird though: that could mean a honest mixer is ran by what some governments consider to be criminals.

The off-topic troll is welcome to spam LoyceV's reputation thread.
I've deleted my post responding to the troll. I should have known better.

I thought the same. That probably didn't help in staying on-topic.

You can't do that in Meta.

Thanks again for your flawless timing!
Putting the kids to bed messed up my timing, and they're not even in yet. Wish me luck!

Now that looks nice

For small amounts, I don't mind. Compared to the amount of money people keep in exchanges, it's tiny.
I haven't tried it, but you can probably fund it from an exchange directly. Imagine topping up your Bitcoin LN wallet with a 5 sat transaction fee

If you don't have tech skills, use any of the easy LN mobile wallets. Phoenix Wallet for instance (although on-chain channel opening is costly at the moment), or one of the custodial wallets (but only risk small amounts in them) so you don't need anything on-chain. For instance: Wallet of Satoshi. Then use your favourite low-fee altcoin to get LN-funds from an instant exchanger.

That's how you end up paying $90 for a small transaction (923 bytes) with 6 legacy inputs.
I hate to say it, but Bitcoin is useless for sending transactions at the moment.

With such low value, I'd use Ian Coleman's site, and import just the funded private key into Electrum. Onces fees are lower, send the funds to a new (HD) Electrum wallet.
After this, consider your Mycelium seed compromised and never use it again.

My (default) Mycelium uses m/84'/0'/0'/0/1.

Bitcoin still works fine, but real-life consequences are still a thing.
 
Thanks, I'll add it to my list of things to read

That's $90 in fees for less than 1 kB

For future reading: my topic on consolidating inputs and transaction fees. Using Segwit also helps.

You may want to read LoyceV's Bitcoin Fork claiming guide (and service). Don't look at the Forkcoin prices in that topic, but the other information is still valid.

Last time I checked, BCH, BSV and eCash don't have replay protection. Get some Fork dust on each chain, and include that in your transaction to prevent replaying on another chain.
I used to include BTG and BCD too. Depend on how many coins you had it may or may not be worth the effort. Don't forget eCash, which is a BCH Fork but still worth something.

Correct. Even better if you include offline signing. No need to risk your private keys on a hot wallet.

I wouldn't trust them on my main system. I prefer to use either a VM or a dedicated laptop that I wipe after each Forkcoin.

That's the way.

They exist, but I don't dare make recommendations. Do your own research, and don't trust them with more than you're willing to lose.

I don't think raising pay rates right after theymos announced mixers will be banned is a smart thing, and I don't think increasing advertising efforts is correct use of the month given:
I'd expect a more careful approach towards mixers from someone who's in possession of banned funds.

As an alternative, you can just backup your wallet data. That's how Bitcoin Core backups work: copy your wallet file to a USB stick, test it, and make another backup on a different brand stick. Then, just to be use, make a new copy on a new stick every year.

It could be. If the bad guys were in charge of Sinbad, that explains why they were quickly trusted enough to send them millions of dollars worth of Bitcoin. Pretty much anything can be used for good or evil, but starting a business for evil is very different than a legitimate business being abused.

It made me curious about Tor:
