if you're happy with primal and only want to do nostr zapping then keep primal. no need to use Alby Hub.
If you want to do other things or want to be self-sovereign by owning your keys and having your own lightning channels, then Alby Hub might be interesting.
Great, thank you for that.
I believe I have a lot more to learn first about how to run a node. I certainly want to obtain self sovereign status on lightning eventually. I do have that for my btc and hold on cold storage with my seed phrase. So, at least I do practice that in some respect.
What is the running cost of having an alby hub?
great!
The Alby Cloud is 21k sats per month (with a 50% welcome bonus for 3 months)
If you already have a server or computer you can also run it there.
Depending on what you need there will be some costs to open a channel.
In the future one channel might be included with the Alby Cloud subscription.
Gotcha, thanks for the explanation.
However, I’m still not understanding why my wallet shows an inflow of 10 sats but I am unable to send that out? Is this due to the fact that I need to purchase / open a channel? 
I think you have a channel already, can you show me the node page?
It will likely say something about the channel reserve that you need to fill.
I think this may be what you are asking for?
I appreciate the help btw* 🤝🏼 
yes. so you have one channel. that is great. you can receive up to a million.
do you see that “10/354” reserve? so you need to get some more sats to meet the reserve and then you can send out sats. (those sats are still yours but reserved for closing the channel some time in the future)
Brilliant, incredibly helpful.
So the 354 sats; will those be held in the wallet for when I want to close? Or say I send in the remaining 344 sats to open the channel, can I send out the 354 while keeping the channel open still? Hopefully that makes sense
Yes, those sats are held for when the channel will be closed.
You basically save up until you have enough.
The channel is already open, now you fill up the reserve.
Those 354 will be kept in the channel as reserve, the amount above that you can spend.
Perfect. Thanks so much for the clarification
