PSA announcement, don't try to send your nonKYC Robosats trades to your AlbyHub wallet. It will fail, freeze, and pretend nothing happened. I have to ask if anyone has as many lightning failures as I do, cause y'all pretending that this tech is gReAt.
Discussion
Where would you send them otherwise? Phoenix?
yeah, I used phoenix almost exclusively. then when I decided to go phoneless, I wanted to setup a non custodial on my laptop. AlbyHub worked pretty well at first, but when trying to move around more than 50k sats, it became unusable.
damn
that's really disappointing to hear.
I made the decision to not screw around with lightning many years ago.
I've been thinking lately that maybe it's about time that the ux has gotten good enough.
But i'll just put it on hold for another year or two.
I'm going to give it one last shot with phoenixd once I get a dedicated Linux device setup next week. I honestly don't understand whether people who praise lightning are lying about how many failures they run into or if they simply just don't use it enough to run into any issues.
mostly theyre nerds who have time and love tinkering with it.
which I totally get since I'm the same way with stuff.
but they get online and tell people its easy to do self-sovereign LN.
which its not.
THE LIGHTNING NETWORK WILL BE READY IN 18 MONTHS
Is AlbyHub custodial? What is going wrong?
no, they shifted to non custodial and simply help with the backend liquidity and channel management. You can buy a million Sat liquidity channel for 20k seats and have your own node you can run on your 24/7 device. The issue I ran into was when trying to move sats in clumps larger than 50k, it wouldn't work and there doesn't seem to be a place to edit fee limits.
