Just installed #alby hub alongside my home node.

Interesting experience; I did not opt for the purist route of own LN and BTC node (not sure how purist that actually is, in the end) but the more 'default' option of LDK talking to esplora (as I understood). Very interesting how different the modern onboarding experience is.

Of course even this is a bit too much responsibility for most users most of the time (an always on PC!). Cloud hosting makes sense, but I think the fee will put people off, a bit (no judgment).

All of this is super lax privacy wise to be clear. Even more so than my every day expenses LN wallet, Phoenix.

As a result I've finally reenabled zaps for myself after more than a year's hiatus 😄

I setup a stand alone lnd node once and it was fun watching transactions route but ultimately I’d go for days and weeks without routing anything so I ended up shutting down. It would be cool if there was a Nostr “tag” we could add to self hosted nodes to guide who to open channels with, building a sub network. The volume of inbound and outbound zaps would have a higher chance of being balanced across “Nostr nodes” improving the ability to make zaps self custodial?
