PS
nostr:npub1vkgj57k30l2u7wave6t4nua75wjylx3nju6qu4vu7pneghwx8zlsf7q4uq you know that you can run your Alby Hub on your PC, Raspberry PI or server?
It costs nothing and you really run your own node 😉

I am aware. It's something I'm considering. My account and the LN address I created won't be deleted just because I discontinued the cloud subscription, will it?
I don't think so. I have getalby ln address without the cloud subscription, and you can have alby hub self hosted btw.
I guess I'm wondering how long my account can stay dormant before it and my LN address are deleted. I may opt for a self-hosted option within the next 30-60days, so I'm hoping my account won't be nuked right away.
Good question, If your ln address is not linked to any wallet for a long time. I don't think they can give it to someone else, but I don't know 100%. Anyway you can link it to another wallet that a trustworthy person provide it for you (this is custodial, caution) for a while, and then unlink it, and link it to your own DIY alby hub backed by your node.
No, your Alby Account will not be affected. It is a service free of charge and you can link any NWC node to it.
Just please remember to cancel the subscription and the Cloud if you decide not to pay & use it anymore
