What did we learn from the nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm outage? If you’re using AlbyHub and self hosting your Lightning wallet, you can still lose access to your funds. You don’t lose your funds, so that’s a plus. But, you can lose the ability to access your funds. I recommend always having a coupe of avenues available for accessing your lightning sats. Here’s my recommendation:

1.) if you’re running a node, spin up an instance of nostr:npub155m2k8ml8sqn8w4dhh689vdv0t2twa8dgvkpnzfggxf4wfughjsq2cdcvg This provides you with a truly self sovereign way of handling your lightning wallet.

2.) nostr:npub1h2qfjpnxau9k7ja9qkf50043xfpfy8j5v60xsqryef64y44puwnq28w8ch as a backup, but a custodial solution

3.) nostr:npub1hcwcj72tlyk7thtyc8nq763vwrq5p2avnyeyrrlwxrzuvdl7j3usj4h9rq also a custodial, but worth holding on to you can get it.

While nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm is cool, easy, and I’ll continue to use it. Just remember 2=1, 1=0, and 3>2. 🤙🏻

I think Cashu wallets are worth mentioning too (npub.cash, eNuts, etc). Mainly because you can choose which mint holds your sats opposed to the potential of losing your account entirely with a custodial solution mentioned above.
