nostr:npub1lmh32qt5hgpnjq0wd6jdsu4tcrqmte4xyxmwjlukafhu2yk8c7csch988t As an interim solution, try using nostr:npub1yzvxlwp7wawed5vgefwfmugvumtp8c8t0etk3g8sky4n0ndvyxesnxrf8q's Nostr client. In it, they’ll allow you to create a new wallet using their Alby instance. You should then be able plug that NWC string into your own Alby dashboard. From there, I believe there’s an option to migrate your funds over to it. It will still technically be custodial, but it will let you use your Alby wallet again until you decide if you want to run your own Alby Hub.
What’s an uncle Jim wallet
It’s a wallet on a Lightning node that someone else (like a family member or friend) is maintaining for you, so you’ll have your own balance but you don’t need to manage channels. It’s considered custodial because you don’t have the private key.
yes.

there are options like the one you mentioned or coinos or a self-custodial alby hub, or …
