Is there no good lightning wallet that's self custodial? I don't want go run my own lightning node!

#asknostr

Zeus is so slow, it's completely useless in real life, nobody waits 2 minutes with their phone standing while the wallet loads. It's also prone to crashes.

Misty breez performs OK, but it doesn't have a lightning address I can use, the minimum 100 sats doesn't work for nostr, and the fees are impossibly high. 40 sats fees on a 100 sats zap is crazy.

Everything else I found is custodial, and some even require KYC

Alby Hub (https://albyhub.com)

You can self host it for free locally or in a VPS,, or pay for Alby Cloud hosting. No KYC.

Payments are fast, no fees outside of standard routing fees, no waiting when you want to pay. You can connect it to Alby Go for a simple wallet interface.

I tried downloading alby hub for desktop, but it wouldn't pass virus-check and all the browsers i tried just deleted the file..

Yeah, it’s an annoying issue on Windows that they mark all unsigned apps as unsafe. It’s on out TODO list. Thanks for letting me know
