How private is this?
I just set up a new nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm Hub on nostr:npub1aghreq2dpz3h3799hrawev5gf5zc2kt4ch9ykhp9utt0jd3gdu2qtlmhct while I was on Nests and holy shit, it was ridiculously easy.
Love what this team is building! 🐝⚡️🔥

As private as anything else you run locally on your node, but you do need to provide an email address (can be a burner) to sign up for Alby.
currently an Alby account is required for some features like notifications, LSP suggestion, ... which are enabled by default.
It's on the roadmap to remove this that people can run it without the account so Alby will not know you run it.
How would a Lightning address work then?
they would not if you fully disable everything.
but you can limit the permissions further.
Would be cool to have an npub and extension login option so you can skip email. Nostr-only, baby.
Just wonder how private you are making your node if you transfer your account and sats over to hub.
Hub is running locally so there is nothing transferred other than invoice data from LNURL as I understand it.
Unless you transfer your alby info over?
