I ended up using nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm Hub with their cloud hosted solution. It works great and with the Friends and Family app I was able to connect my kids to the same node.
I followed nostr:npub1rxysxnjkhrmqd3ey73dp9n5y5yvyzcs64acc9g0k2epcpwwyya4spvhnp8 tutorial to a T including paying for a first channel for inbound liquidity and then using some on-chain funds to create a second channel with enough outbound liquidity. Thanks for the tutorial!
So far the experience is good.
Plus: the kids accounts operate from the same liquidity. I believe sats don't leave the Lightning Node when I send sats to any of my kids 😂
Cons: the Alby Go app lets my kids create a getalby.com Lightning address but the address doesn't work for receiving sats. They can only receive with invoices. I hope Alby changes this soon. So much easier when sending money to them.
Hey, the Lightning Address in Alby Go is only used to generate QR codes - still the LN address service needs to be configured somewhere. You could generate invite for your kids to getalbycom, there they can set up the Lightning Address and put it in Alby Go.
PS For this to work, both Alby Account (getalbycom) and Alby Go need to use the same NWC connection secret to your node!
Thanks for good feedback!
