Yes. Thank you for that.

I was able to see how it went to the address and ended up in the "wallet" provided by Alby, which means it's all going to the same and correct place.

Here's what happened:

I started out in Primal and set up an initial account. This created an address.

Then I tried to setup Alby, but initially did not have the invite, so I tried to configure nos.

Then I got the invite.

During set up, the workflow in Alby was a bit different than the document I was reading and I wasn't sure what to choose. It said in order to connect my wallet, I had to choose how I wanted to do so - cloud, self-host, and a couple of other options.

I hadn't planned on spending considerable time setting up everything that day, so I chose the cloud-based one.

This, I think, spun up a node which provided a lightning address (another address), wallet (the UI says "Wallet" in Alby Hub), the Hub itself which contained a wallet, the ability to create channels (to send and receive money, I think like its own payment processor? - details are still a bit fuzzy), and a place to manage connections to various Nostr apps.

But I had to agree to a subscription plan to connect everything (I had to Google how much sats actually cost and what that all means), then I had to fund the wallet to open a channel to send payments and buy another channel to receive payments. These channels all costed various amounts of sats.

There was nothing in the setup process Alby was asking me to perform to let me know all of that really wasn't necessary.

Somewhere in it all, I ended up changing the connections in Alby to get it all to point to the right place (to the first address, not the new one).

I noticed the Alby extension and the hub/node-thing it created each had their own keys (which is why I thought they were all different).

I still have a lot of questions.

The other stuff, I still do not understand, but will continue to work my way through the documentation to learn.
