I’ve actually spent hours on it at this point I think, and the amount of money probably isn’t worth it anymore
Discussion
(Which maybe was the point. It used to work, so not sure why it had to become so complicated)
sure, up to you.
but then maybe don’t say that somebody stole things from you.
it’s probably a 2 min thing todo.
Maybe alby should be able to explain to me how to recover my money in two minutes. I’ve emailed them and they’ve sent me no proper explanation
nostr:npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x If nostr:npub1lmh32qt5hgpnjq0wd6jdsu4tcrqmte4xyxmwjlukafhu2yk8c7csch988t were to connect an Uncle Jim wallet, for example, from nostr:npub1yzvxlwp7wawed5vgefwfmugvumtp8c8t0etk3g8sky4n0ndvyxesnxrf8q, wouldn’t he be able to move his legacy balance over to it?
yes.
nostr:npub1lmh32qt5hgpnjq0wd6jdsu4tcrqmte4xyxmwjlukafhu2yk8c7csch988t As an interim solution, try using nostr:npub1yzvxlwp7wawed5vgefwfmugvumtp8c8t0etk3g8sky4n0ndvyxesnxrf8q's Nostr client. In it, they’ll allow you to create a new wallet using their Alby instance. You should then be able plug that NWC string into your own Alby dashboard. From there, I believe there’s an option to migrate your funds over to it. It will still technically be custodial, but it will let you use your Alby wallet again until you decide if you want to run your own Alby Hub.
What’s an uncle Jim wallet
It’s a wallet on a Lightning node that someone else (like a family member or friend) is maintaining for you, so you’ll have your own balance but you don’t need to manage channels. It’s considered custodial because you don’t have the private key.
yes.
he just needs to do it. :)
it needs to be done, but I don’t think it is too hard…is it?
there are options like the one you mentioned or coinos or a self-custodial alby hub, or …
so what do you not understand, and what did not work for you?
without information it’s impossible to help you I guess.
I downloaded alby hub on my pc and the first step of 5 to set up was to pay more.
if you want to use self-custodial A fun, outgoing, active market vendor on a super busy market who sells lottery tickets to demanding people and who loudly encourages people to buy more lottery tickets before they are all gone. The price to win is huge. lightning then you need a channel which if bought from an LSP costs money.
otherwise go with solutions like coinos, yakihonne, …
but do it asap, this was announced way more than a year ago with a deadline in January.
