I can’t get my Alby hub to work anymore so I’m using WoS. But I only have access to it on my android phone and can’t zap from

Nostr 😔 this means I don’t zap anymore. This is the state of things sadly.

Damus won’t show a QR code. I don’t think primal does either. Only NWC…

Grab your droid phone.

Install Amethyst.

Login.

Tap a zap button.

Select WoS as default.

Zap sent.

Open WoS again.

Go to settings.

Turn auto pay on up to your set amount.

Enjoy zapping again.

Problem is I don’t want to use my android by default. I don’t like it.

what happened to your alby hub?

I think I was just being an idiot, not understanding reserves, what to do about it. I think better UI could solve this - give people a clear action on how to resolve unmet reserves. There’s a tooltip but it’s hard to know what it’s saying and doesn’t tell you what to do next. Or maybe I’m just stupid, quite possible.

I have 2 other nodes and still like the experience of albyhub so much that I use it more than the others 😅 Their support may able to help you if you're willing to try again. If you're using something custodial and want a solution for all devices you can use coinos.

I want it to work but I can’t seem to send any payments to myself and not sure what else to try

Thanks for the feedback 🙏. Is everything working fine now?

No. Can’t send myself any sats

Do you see any errors? Empty channel reserves shouldn't stop you from zapping 🤔

Where would I see those? Just failed payments

Sorry to hear about that ... but also good to know I'm not the only one having some sort of Lightning issues. I thought I was the only one out of the ZAP party games.

How can we help? Are you up for a call to look at it together?
