Lightning Addresses for family and friends accounts.

Would love to provide wallets for friends and family and have an individual Lightning address for them. It's just easier for newcomers to send to a lightning address and giving others their own lightning address to receive payments.

How can I achieve this right now? Let's say I provide the lightning node and create a family and friend account for my friend through my Alby Hub. My friend now has to create an account on Alby to get his lightning address.

He then uses Alby Go and connects to his account on my node. In Alby Go he can insert a lightning address.

If he puts in his lightning address of his Alby Account in Alby Go, will he receive sats, sent to his address in Alby Go?

I would love to set up the same thing. It looks like it is possible based on this post but I have not tried it yet.

Yes, it is possibly. Actually it is really easy to set it up with Alby.

What I wanted to say was that it would be even more awesome if these sub accounts would get a lightning address.

This would make transactions for newcomers much easier as normies now this process from PayPal etc.

It actually looks like subaccounts can get lightning addresses! You first need to create a “Fast subaccount.”

Could you explain it a bit more?

Do you mean that the one I create the subaccount for has to create an Alby account to get his lightning address?

Yes, exactly. Whoever you create the account for needs an Alby login. The article I linked above walks you through it.
