I created a Reputation System to classify BUY orders on my host and increase security for sellers. Some sellers have had issues with scammers who reverse their transfers after the transaction. The money goes back to the scammer, leaving the seller without funds and without their Sats. Unfortunately, this problem can happen on any P2P platform, and the best solution I found was to classify open BUY orders.
Hereβs how it works: After choosing a BUY order, access one of the links below to check the reputation of the buyer (Beginner, Intermediate, or Experienced). This reputation is based on the history on my host and helps to enhance security in transactions, but it does not guarantee total security. Orders marked as Experienced are from robots with more successful orders than those of Intermediate and Beginner. Use this classification to decide whether to take the order or not.
Tip: If your BUY order is classified as Beginner, consider acting a bit more as a taker to improve your reputation. The seller (maker) needs to know how to protect themselves from this type of scam, as anyone can take their order.

Why donβt I classify SELL orders? Scammers would love to know who all the Beginners are.
Hope this helps! π

β οΈ Hey, Phoenix Wallet users!
A quick note: the default expiration time for your invoices is 7 days. In some situations, payments may get stuck, and in the worst case, you might need to wait those 7 days to send a new invoice. This can happen for reasons such as not finding a route with the maximum allowed fee, the wallet being offline, or other connectivity issues in the network. While this is not common, it's good to be aware of this possibility.
To avoid potential problems, it's recommended to check the wallet settings and reduce the expiration time for invoices to 1 day or even 1 hour. This change can help ensure that payments are processed more quickly and efficiently.
Hereβs my suggestion! π
Most Used Lightning Wallets in Coordinator TheBigLake
I would like to share the ranking of the most used Lightning wallets in my Coordinator. This list is based on the invoices my node has received to make payments over the last 30 days, from June 9th to July 9th, 2025, and can serve as a guide for those choosing a wallet.
Here are the wallets and the number of payments in relation to the total over the last 30 days:
* WoS - 42.0%
* Phoenix - 10.8%
* Aqua - 7.3%
* Blink - 2.6%
* Zeus - 2.1%
* Boltz - 1.9%
* Strike - 1.2%
* Breez - 1.1%
* Others - 31.1%
It's important to remember that having a second wallet as a backup, with available balance for emergencies, is a recommended practice. The Lightning network can, in some situations, temporarily lock the balance of a payment attempt, which can cause issues if the order expires. Therefore, being prepared with an additional wallet can help avoid setbacks.
I hope this information helps new users in choosing a wallet. Please note that this list does not indicate the best wallets, but rather provides statistical information for a specific period.
