Hi. Quick question. Do you know how to empty a wallet that has just a few sats left in it? I have a WoS that I never use but it has a few sats left that it won't let me send. I though you might know since you had a similar situation a while back.
Hey nostr, just got back from helping to fill christmas boxes for needy kids. Our church does this every year, and i decided to help out today. Earlier i continued watering trees, made some comfrey salve, and did a little housework. All in all a great day. Yall have a good evening nostr friends. Stay happy, healthy, and free. #grownostr #homesteading https://nostrcheck.me/media/8d9d2b77930ee54ec3e46faf774ddd041dbb4e4aa35ad47c025884a286dd65fa/69dcd92333b323fd3362a76c8e51107f2f3edea54c19bf0d178f5a70062bd28e.webp

I just tried doing that with alby today, before they shut down their custodial wallet. I was able to move all but 15 sats off of it. I think each wallet has their own rules for that, but when i tried moving the last few sats it said the amt did not meet minimum amt, so i gave up. Never messed with wos much though. You might try moving smaller amts at a time. Today with alby i tried moving the balance all at once, but didnt work (a few thousand sats). Then i tried moving smaller amts, which worked till it got down to 15 sats. Thats all i know about it.
I think I'll need to just zap myself
Alby app doesn't work.
At all? I know they're moving everyone to the alby hub thing, but i was able to get into my wallet still.
I deleted my account yesterday after draining my wallet/sending Sats 丰 to a functional wallet I already had. There is an option to answer several questions about why I was leaving, which I did extensively, with candor and appreciation for all nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm has done for the past year and a half. I got a very nice email back this morning. Please reach out to nostr:npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x or nostr:npub1q5sah9f3p9kl7uqdeaqskqwmg74ktxx70e0093dzh4lpzcp3t0mqzxky65 , they are lovely individuals who will respond and assist.

I emailed the support and they said they deliberately blocked it.
Wth?? Thats wild. Like i said, just yesterday i was able to move most of mine out. Dont know if it makes a difference, but i was on desktop, using the alby browser plugin thing that i installed a good while back. Havent tried logging in to the main alby page in a while. Thats not right that they're blocking you. You might try asking them in a public question on nostr, tagging them. Dont remember when their deadline was for shutting down the custodial wallets.
What is blocked?
The issue with emptying a lighting wallet are the lighting fees which are hard to know upfront and there are related attack vectors to steal funds.
Thus probably all lightning wallets require a small reserve based on the amount you try to send and this sadly makes it hard to send the last sat sometimes.
If you have issues contact support and I am sure you get the sats in no time.
She's the one having issues, and i was responding to her.
sorry. I thought nostr:npub18u0kz84lj5tzmgywwdu4mhaa8ghtlednahqyj56kqv408lf9r23qgnlumk was in the thread.
