Please forgive me, but what is the difference between a browser extension and an app? I just got getalby, and it was an account set up through a browser extension. I’m all set, for one tap zaps, but still fogged. Wallet of Satoshi has miraculously begun to show my sat balance now. No idea what I did to get that right.

Alby is a Webapp and a Browser Extension. You can login at getalby.com and see your Wallet. The browser extension is extra and allows you easily to pay and login on websites.

If you are logged in into getalby.com then you can go to settings on the webpage. There is a possibility to show credential, like a QR code.

This QR code can be scanned in the BlueWallet app with the import wallet app. That way you can use your Alby wallet with your BlueWallet App. Why? Because Alby offers the Lightning Address and because Alby has no iphone app you can use BlueWallet instead to connect to Alby.

It’s more complicated to setup than Wallet of Satoshi but there are not many solutions which offer a zappable Lightning Address at the moment. There is WoS and the Combination Alby and BlueWallet.

You are very kind and explained that very well. I appreciate it so much!

Thanks, that makes me happy 😃
