Are you sure they were people? πŸ€–πŸ˜‚ Also for Alby, I know you can connect your own node to your account instead of using theirs. Does that still use the getalby.com address? If so, it's possible some of those were self custodial.

Yea, I have a getalby lightning address connected to my personal node.

Imo if you don't control domain and web server it's still not self custody, alby can at anytime intercept and track the payments πŸ«‘πŸ‘¨β€πŸ’» (or course they don't do this, but iz possible)

Yes but isn't that simply moving the goalposts of what "self-custodial" means? (Note, I didn't reply on your thread, just thinking out loud." Self custody refers to funds. Self-sovereign may be a better term for what you're expecting of people. And in that case, how can a web domain ever truly be self sovereign when ultimately they're controlled by centralized entities?

Perhaps a question for the thinkboi philosophers

I think you gotta custody the webserver, no cloud hosting even allowed

True self custody involves a mnemonic encrypted to the individual's DNA such that sats cannot be spent short of Seppuku

I haven't had any luck finding a tutorial on setting up the webserver. I'm kinda learning as I go. At the moment I have an address that uses Fiatjaf's server with my domain. Do you know of any "easy to follow" resources?

What's the webserver for and what is your threat model?

For now just for my lightning address. I'm not overly paranoid, but I do appreciate privacy from the general public.
