On albyhub open a channel with nostr:npub1l0ans4w4psmcv6hsqjz2v3mxszhputlsfn4emkynv3jlwrfez59s35q0ug it should about 5,000 sats for 2M
As I've registered with Alby a few months ago I told a friend (who complained about the current toxicity of twitter/X) about this new social media Nostr and told him he could get rewarded for posting here.
The deal was that I would help him to create his nostr account and get a wallet, https://guides.getalby.com/user-guide/alby-account-and-browser-extension
downloading the extension, creating the nostr account was a breeze, and then .... As I wanted to send him a few sats to get started, that is when the whole thing went down.
Alby is now forcing its users to get a hub (and a channel), this was not my experience when I started back in March 2024 and I was surprised of this new direction Alby is taking.
Opening a channel costs ~25K sat -- and that was not expected, for a brand new user
Now my friend thinks that this whole new social media and bitcoin stuff is all a big scam.
What can I do?
Is there a way to open a wallet (compatible with Nostr) elsewhere?

How long does the channel stay open?
And where would you host your node?
