Today Alby Hub 1.7.2 was released which includes a new Friends & Family app for quickly onboarding (you guessed it) your friends and family to bitcoin and lightning, powered by your hub's liquidity. They get a wallet without having to understand lightning or have their own channels, and not rely on large custodial services. They can get their own lightning address with an Alby Account, or connect their new wallet to the Alby extension, or very soon connect to Alby's new mobile app, Alby Go.
I'd love to jump on a call with anyone who would like to test the Friends & Family app or Alby Go, or just hear any feedback in general if you try it on your own! feel free to DM!

I'm giving this a try. From my alby hub, I created an Isolated connection... But where do I paste this in my family members existing Alby wallet/extension/dashboard?
Once I work this out, I should be able to finish setting this up (I think) 🙌🤞
Also just noticed my Alby Hub still shows v1.6.0 - I couldn't figure out how to get it to update 😅
At getalby.com there should be an update banner. Can you try there?
In 1.7.2 there is a friends and family app in the App Store of Alby Hub
Sweet, I'll jump back on soon and try find it. I probably wasn't looking in the right place 😅
Thank you so much nostr:npub1zk6u7mxlflguqteghn8q7xtu47hyerruv6379c36l8lxzzr4x90q0gl6ef 🙌 found the update and the app so will finish adding family wallets to my hub tomorrow and let you know how easy I find it 🎉
Thank you!
