What did Alby do to your sats?
Hey there #damus peeps and #nostr - Happy New Year…. After getting fed up with the shit that Alby did to my Sats combined with their shitty documentation I decided to look at alternatives.. unfortunately there is zero way to self host a lightning wallet (due to the need to have liquidity on the chain to back it). But so far for the 100 bucks worth of bitcoin I spent using #cluborange at least I have something that seems stable enough and there’s enough usage of it that I won’t outright *lose* sats..
I’ll get right to the point - If you are looking for a decent way to send sats around without the risk of losing a lightning channel - for now at least Club Orange seems to get the job done.. and I have a referral link if you decide to join…

More like what they did NOT do…. They closed my lightning channel with no warning and put my sats off chain so that I could transfer them back if I wanted to open a new channel… However, when I went through the documentation and tried it, I lost all of my stats. And when I contacted them to get help to figure out what was going on, they told me I would have to pay them for them to do the analysis to figure out what went wrong. For a group that started out as going with the notion that we needed to stick it to the big banks they sure act a lot like the big banks. So fuck them.
