Subnostr

Heck yeah! After my Mutiny channel was forced closed several weeks ago, I haven’t been able to zap Nostr, and I was starting to feel like a blue check. But thanks to Alby Hub, my Start9, and BTC Sessions, I finally have my zaps back!

With Ben’s tutorial, Start9s OS, and Alby’s devs, this config was super easy to setup, self host, and run. You need to seriously consider this setup for self custody Lightning.

I know where my first three self custodial zaps are going: nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm , nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll , and nostr:npub1rxysxnjkhrmqd3ey73dp9n5y5yvyzcs64acc9g0k2epcpwwyya4spvhnp8. 7,777s all around!⚡️⚡️⚡️ nostr:note12rnyw9lxmu7w7xdejt2ppd92p77qyyy2rn4r6p9mvvnejrx2e6vqrves48

Is opening and managing LN risk free on Alby or you still a subject to forced closings?

Is anything risk free?

Yeah...Yield on Btc according to Saylor 😂

What specific risks are you concerned with? I imagine it depends on whether you use Alby’s cloud service where they act as the LSP or if you run Alby Hub using your own LND node and managing your own liquidity. If it’s your own node and a channel is force closed, I think your Lightning balance moves to your on-chain LND node balance, less block fees. I believe the subscription based Alby cloud works similarly and from Ben’s video, it looks like you can backup a 12 words seed, so you’re not at risk of being rugged. I’m still learning the basics of node running on Lightning, so I don’t understand all the details on channel management or force closure causes yet. However, the nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm team is super helpful, so I’d recommend sending them a detailed question in a DM, or they may see this and respond here?

Thx. Planning in person meeting with the team soon :)

We have this 'soon' since weeks, sir! Let's finally do it

PS nostr:npub1ewh7daf4qn5weq334xsj5nm62rzwk86fx7astplny7q5njve5xcsxdanua is mostly right, but we don't act as LSP/ Closure risks are always there (at the moment), that's how Lightning works....

Need to do the same. Still on the nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm waitlist.

You just need a code? I can hook you up. Shoot me a DM.
