good information, I setup BTCPay server so I could get my own lighting addess, I was having a few issues with it so I went back to wallet of Satoshi. I fixed the issue so I might go back to BTCPay server. Wallet of satoshi is really easy tho and reliable.

Ive never tired Alby but I heard it cost money and I'm not actually making money here or anywhere, I'm pretty much just zapping notes so it doesn't make sense for me to buy a subscription. I find other people are in the same boat and that's why they moved away from Alby.

I think some of these Bitcoin companies are trying to hook Bitcoiners into using their products for free then eventually going paid but Bitcoiners are not making money or have an actual business that makes them money so it makes no sense for us to get a subscription.

In fact running BTCPay server is costing me money because I have to pay for a server every month. Almost everyone wants me to buy a subscription everywhere. I can't afford all those subscriptions it adds up too fast.

So yes. It's better we setup our own lightning sever to save money. Good tutorial. by the way you zap wasn't working months ago because I tired to zap you many times so what you are using now is finally working more reliable.
