Hey Daniel, I really don't want to confuse you, but I also feel obligated to help here...

You did setup Alby, and that's great that you figured it out! However, Alby is no longer free. This means that the zaps that you're earning are not redeemable yet, because Alby makes you pay for their services now (or you have to run a node using their tools and manage the payment channels yourself). You'll have to pay their monthly fee to get your zaps. And since you're very new to all of this, I'm going to assume that this cost isn't worth it for you, as of yet.

Soon, a new version of Damus is going to remove Alby and add in Coinos because they're free. This will create less friction for users.

I have a video that will help you activate Coinos if you want to try that?

Thanks! Super helpful. I will make the switch.

Yep, coinos is the way for Damus. You can link your alby though for receiving your zaps tho!

Dude, you're correct, I had a big problem with the channel on alby/alby hub, coinoss seems to be something much easier, besides being free

CoinOS is now set up and is my wallet. Thanks guys!

Good choice

Alby Hub is GREAT! But it's just not for a brand new person that just wants to receive a few cents worth of zaps.

Yes yes, I had a problem because this was exactly my case…

And the way they switched their existing product is pretty bad business practice.

When you are going to run your own node then Alby hub is free
