Nostr Web Client

Um... I may have just lost all my bitcoin on Alby Hub.

Still waiting to find out if it is, because the channel closed on me without any prior notification, or if it just vanished into the void.

I just hear all this debating constantly back and fourth of lightning, ecash, lightning, no ecash!

All I am really thinking is. Why the fuck are people so impatient?

Let's go back to our roots and give Nostr users the 3rd option.

Traditional good old fashioned no non-sense, no bullshit, regular bitcoin address fields on their profiles to copy pasta for manual transactions to support your favorite users on Nostr.

So what if it is a little slower.

Patience is a virtue and I believe it is worth waiting for.

Sorry for your loss. Have you any idea about how that did happen? Was the node hosted on some quasi-custodial stuff like phoenixd?

I'm highly supportive of the "onchain address" idea btw: blockspace today is very cheap.

Absolutely no idea. No indication if the channel was closed. No idea what happened to the funds. The original app installation within a virtual machine crashes after a successful password authentication. No error messages in the terminal. Reinstalled the app on another machine. I see a transaction history, but all my funds have vanished. No clue if I will ever get them back. Alby Hub support told me I was too advanced of a user to support. So I am up shits creek without a paddle on this one.

I still can't grasp the boundaries of this. Was that the custodial version of Alby? Were you self hosting some kind of LN node? If so, which implementation?

what i don't get was "did you keep the seed key?"

That's the nested question yep. If that was self custodial, there's always a way to retrieve the corn
