2. Click on the Alby extension and follow the prompts to setup your wallet.

### Aqua (Mobile)
Overall the wallet works as expected. Hold invoices work reliably.
What is inconvenient:
- Lightning payments are encapsulated into Liquid Bitcoin so there is a small additional fee for conversion in/out
- Bond refund is locked for 3 days
Overall the wallet works as expected.
Self-custodial Lightning+Liquid wallet with low fees and the option to swap directly to Tether.
Bond refunds are locked for 3 days

### Blink (Mobile, former Bitcoin Beach Wallet)
Works well with RoboSats. Hodl invoices (Bonds) show as "Pending" in the transaction history. Payouts to the Blink wallet function as intended. Custodial wallet by Galoy which originated from the Bitcoin Beach project in El Salvador (formerly known as "Bitcoin Beach Wallet").

Works as expected. The `lightning-cli pay <invoice>` command does not conclude while the payment is pending, but can use `lightning-cli paystatus <invoice>` to monitor the state.

### Electrum (Mobile & Desktop)
Overall the wallet works as expected. The interface is precise and clear.
What is inconvenient:
- all your Lightning channels have to be created to the node: ACINQ

This wallet used to work fine with channels created to ACINQ.
Recent versions can't create this channel successfully.

### LND (CLI Interface)
Raw; it shows exactly what is happening and what it knows "IN_FLIGHT". It is not user friendly and therefore not recommended to interact with RoboSats by beginners. However, everything works just fine. If you are using LNCLI regularly, then you will find no issue using it with RoboSats.

- more than two pending hold invoices at the same time may cause a rejection of the new transaction

### Muun (Mobile)
Self-custodial wallet with a minimalist interface.
Similar to Blixt or LND, Muun plays nicely with hold invoices. You can be a seller in RoboSats using Muun and the user experience will be great. However, in order to be a buyer when using Muun, you need to submit an on-chain address for the payout as a Lightning invoice won't work. Muun is _fee siphoning attacking_ any sender to Muun wallet. There is a mandatory hop through a private channel with a fee of +1500ppm. RoboSats will strictly not route a buyer payout for a net loss. Given that RoboSats trading fees are {{site.robosats.total_fee}}% and it needs to cover the routing fees, **RoboSats will never find a suitable route to a Muun wallet user**. At the moment, RoboSats will scan your invoice for routing hints that can potentially encode a _fee siphoning attack_. If this trick is found, then the invoice will be rejected: submit an on-chain address instead for an on-the-fly swap. Refer to [Understand > On-Chain Payouts](/docs/on-chain-payouts/) for more information about on-the-fly swaps. Important to note that Muun has issues during times of high on chain fee spikes. Regardless, the workaround to receive to Muun is: either submit an on chain address or choose a higher routing budget after enabling the "Advanced Options" switch.

### OBW (Mobile)
One of the simplest and one of the best. The hodl invoice shows as "on fly", it is not custodial and can create your own channels. Buy one from a liquidity provider or use Hosted Channels. It is maintained by the great Fiatjaf and it is a fork of the abandoned SBW.
*Update 26-10-23: At this moment it has no development or support

### Phoenix (Mobile)
DEV team stated that they do not want to support hold invoices.
*Update 21-10-23. Phoenix used to work as described here, but many things changed to worse with the last update of the wallet.
Phoenix works very well as an order taker. Phoenix will also work well as an order maker as long as the order settings `public duration` + `deposit duration` are lower than 10 hours. Otherwise, you might have problems locking the maker bond. If the total duraton of bonds/escrow invoices exceeds 450 blocks, then Phoenix will not allow users to lock the bond (`Cannot add htlc (...) reason=expiry too big`).
This wallet does not support invoice lock.

### SBW (Mobile)
From 2.5 it doesn't support lightning anymore.
