Replying to Avatar Josephus

So, when I tried that, it wanted to link email PLUS ask for card payments that were only good for 3 months. That seems like a lot of up front investment for the $1 usd equivalent I’ve gotten zapped so far. I’d rather not be putting that much money into this if it isn’t going to pay for itself.

I set up several times thinking I was mistaken. But every time it wants either an on chain transfer or a $20 payment just to host a lightning address. Free my ass.

The $20 payment goes to the professional channel provider (cost range: $8-$25). In return you receive a channel with instant receiving capacity and great routing capacity. A channel is fundamental to send and receive payments on the lightning network

Your lightning address is independent of your Alby Hub wallet. Your lightning address is a feature in your Alby Account on getalby.com. Every Alby Account gets a free lightning address.
