Yeah I was surprised how easy I could get an getalby wallet and bypass adding another one. I need to figure out how to tie it to my node so I can bypass wallets all together.

I heard about this but I didn't realize if I held the zap icon I could tie it into alby directly from there.
I still need to work on getting my own LN node sometime. But I want to build a second Core node first and play with that so I don't mess anything up on my front end.
This helped me to setup zaps going directly to my node

its easy, I use Umbrel. Just need an old laptop or order a rig, SSD HD required. If you need help getting a rig let me know.
I got a raspberry pi, flashed umbrel to the micro sd, have a 2tb ssd and got it to work once, when I directly connected it to my laptop via ethernet since the main router wasn't working... but I can't get it back up the last couple tries...🤨
Weekend plans I guess.
Other than that I just have a basic bitcoin core and sparrow and my hardware devices.
