Nice thank you

It's great. I like to think of if as a 'lite' lightning node with great connectivity via NWC and other options.

Looking forward to the video. 🤙

I zapped you from the same setup.

How do I set that up?

First, you need to have an Alby account, if you don't already. Alby is invite only, so you'll need to find someone with a spare invite code.

Next, you'll need to get Alby Hub installed on your Start9. A video guide can be found here: https://guides.getalby.com/user-guide/v/alby-account-and-browser-extension/alby-hub/alby-hub-flavors/umbrel-start9-etc

Next, you will need to connect your Alby Hub to your Alby account. This can be done by either giving Alby Hub access to your entire node balance, which is fine if you are the only one who needs to use your node's liquidity, or you can set up an "isolated" wallet connection, that keeps track of its balance separately from your node's full balance. Whichever you choose, copy and paste the full connection string into your Alby account when it asks you to connect a wallet.

Finally, you will want to set up NWC from your Alby account to Nostr clients you use, like #Amethyst. Go to the "Connect" tab on your web dashboard in your Alby account, and then click on NWC Connections and "+ Connect App." Give your new connection a name and a monthly budged, click next, and then copy paste the connection string to whatever Nostr client you use.

This should get you set up with one-tap-zaps in your Nostr client, and you will just need to put your Alby lightning address into your profile to start receiving zaps to your node.

Zapped you from the same 🎉

Thought I did. Still figuring it out 😅

Great. 👍

Running it on a lightning node you already have setup is super powerful. Full functionality of AlbyHub but you still manage your channels from the node itself.

Love it

awesome

didn't yet have the time to dive into alby hub but I will watch the video for sure

Damn it I knew I should have waited

Mention that an account is required please. Privacy ding.

Been using it for a few days, it’s great 👍

Loving it so far! Excited for the account-free option coming in the next 3-6 months too!

Hey BTC Sessions!

If you need anything from us, let us know, we'll be here just in case you need us!

While it is a good start, Alby is not private at all. Their Privacy Policy shows that explicitly.

Really looking forward to this session!
