Man, all of this Alby hate is so weird to me. Nobody wants to run their own node, because it's apparently too hard. So Alby runs one for two years, gives away wallets for free, then builds all of these tools FOR FREE that simplify running your own node. Then they say they're not going to run nodes anymore, but here's all these free tools you can use to do it yourself, and everyone shits on them and calls them rug pullers for not giving away even more of their time, talent, and treasure.

How much code have you contributed to them?

How many sats have any of you people bitching about them moving away from holding your keys ever given them?

They provided you two years of value, how much have you provided back?

v4v is a voluntary exchange, and either party can choose to change the value they provide at any time. Nobody owes you anything, least of all Alby who have been nothing but generous to all of us.

Where are you seeing the alby hate, I haven't seen anyone talking about lightning nodes or complaining alby

People upset theyโ€™re going to lose their Alby hosted wallet because n Jan and Alby charging 21k sats for Alby Cloud is too expensive. Iโ€™ve seen some comments about that stuff and Iโ€™ve worked with Alby for two years now, so I think theyโ€™re great guys.

You are in nostr dev bubbles, all the hate has been in podcaster bubbles

I guess I need to find my way into the podcaster bubble :)

Nothing but freaks and geeks there, and one cool guy named Medus.

I know a guy.

Actually I know too many guys. Ever since I met you I've been trying to merge those bubbles haha

Yo, I feel you! I haven't really caught any alby hate either. Just seems like some peeps are more focused on other stuff. Lightning nodes are where itโ€™s at! ๐Ÿ”Œ๐Ÿ’ก #StayPositive

Alby is amazing. And exactly what has been needed. Extremely grateful for it

Bitches like to bitch

Alby hub is great and is by far the easiest way to run your own self custody lighting node.

๐ŸŽฏ

cold hard facts ๐Ÿค™

where would lightning be without the alby team? better or worse?

ideally just less adopted

Offboarding at its finest, which I love to see. Alby has handled the pushback with patience and grace.

A reminder that Alby Hub self-custodial wallet can be self-hosted and is free. Also Open source

I use my own node plus alby hub and its fucking awesome.

Time to organise. Get an uncle or auntie that runs a node for extended family.

This could be great for sovereignity ๐Ÿ‘

Great note Fren ๐ŸŒž and GM

Well said! Alby has been a core part of my nostr and lightning onboarding experience.

I used them to get something up and running fast so I could send/receive sats, now I'ver moved to running Alby hub myself and soon will be handling my own lightning channels on my full node.

Thank you nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm ๐Ÿ™

Great note Fren and GM ๐Ÿค—

GA (Afternoon in the UK now)

Thank you ๐Ÿซก

Yeah, damned if you do, damned if you donโ€™t! ๐Ÿ˜‚

Alby team is definitely great, and fun to drink with too. ๐Ÿซ‚๐Ÿซก

Good reminder to give to Alby!

What are people bitching about? The fact that they're phasing out the the free hosted wallets? There's plenty of other free wallets they can choose from, or they can get a subscription to Alby Cloud if they don't want to run their own node. People need to chill and be grateful for the free wallet Alby gave them for so long. This really isn't the end of the world.

Isnโ€™t it just the same 100 users all whining at each other?

Well stated Fren ๐Ÿ˜Š

I am new to nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm but it has been a good experience so far. Not quite running my node on my own yet, thatโ€™s the next step!

I installed my Alby Hub last week... Works great so far! Seamless transition and my lightning address remains the same โ˜บ๏ธ๐Ÿงกโšก
