Nostr Web Client

I created today an #Alby Hub account.

I thought I would have after this a working LN wallet which I can connect it to #amethyst (and change the #WoS which I had until today)

But in Alby I needed to connect an nwc wallet first.

Tried to link WoS 😁 Didn't work.

Tried to link #Phoenix 😁 didn't work.

Installed also #AlbyGo.

Before this I had to install #zapstore 😂

Thought that I could find in AlbyGo a connection string (Nostr+wallet connect) which I could connect to AlbyHub... I was wrong 😁

So I created a #coinos account.

And linked coinos to Alby.

But now I have an Alby account linked with a coinos wallet.

I could use just the coinos address in amethyst, right?? What Alby helps here??

And how I secure my #sats in coinos?

I couldn't find a backup seed phrase there 🙄

non technical #pleb here 😁

exploring the crazy #nostr universe...😜

Coinos is custodial. Alby Hub is self-custodial.

The Alby web Account gives you a lightning address.

If you subscribed to Alby Hub, and linked to your Alby web Account, and used your Alby provided lightning address everywhere in the internet, if you ever stop using the Alby Hub and wish to move to another wallet, you do not have to lose your lightning address. Alby will continue to provide you with it for free, you can just link up your new wallet to it.

Alby = sovereignty & freedom of choice, you have the power.

Best,

Ok. Clear about coinos custodial and Alby non custodial.

I created an Alby account yesterday

and get a custom name address (with archjourney). I didn't want a subscription.

Usually i am Nostr from mobile.

So after I created my alby account I had to link an nwc wallet there (and I couldn't find an nwc string in the alby dashboard and settings).

If I understood correct there are three Alby things.

Alby Hub

Alby extension and

AlbyGo.

And you must subscribe for an nwc Alby

OR I must link there another nwc.

Right??🙄

Alby offers the browser extension

Alby Hub is required to run a node, it is not free

Alby Go is like a way to have the wallet has mobile App (similar to wallet of satoshis)

Thanks! My main issue was to understand that I have to subscribe to Alby, if I wanted to have an "only" Alby nwc wallet.

I thought that when creating an Alby Hub account I would have everything "done" 🙂

But if I don't want a subscription I have to link in Alby another nwc

the Alby hub is the route to get a self custodial wallet, which is recommended, but costly. You will have to purchase a node (one time purchase) and then Alby Cloud for the best service (monthly fees).

Alby extension can also freely accept wallets via NWC, nothing needs to be added.

clear! 🙏

There are 4 things:

Alby Hub -> self custodial wallet: you can self host for free or host in Alby Cloud by paying Alby the subscription

Alby extension -> it can be connected to your Alby Hub and Web Account and hodl your nostr nsec keys safely

AlbyGo. -> it is a wallet interface, can manage wallets with nwc

Alby web Account -> gives you a free lightning address

In Alby, you can only generate a nwc from the Alby Hub. You can paste that nwc on Alby Go, so you can manage your Alby Hub from your Alby Go.

In coinos, you can generate a nwc, and paste it on Alby Go, to manage your coinos wallet from your mobile. You can also past that same coinos nwc on Alby web Account, and you would benefit from the Alby lightning address as well ( if you wish to do so )

Soo there is also this Alby web account.. didn't knew this. At the end I connected my coinos nwc to AlbyGo. And in reality I didn't need AlbyHub (at least for now). Thank you very much jpl! Even clearer now. 👌

You will need Alby Hub when you will need to host your funds in a self-custodial way. Alby will be waiting for you when the time is right for you and when you will need that.

Best,! 😊
