I've been curious for some time...

How does nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm fund the services it offers for free?

Because right now you do an amazing job with #nostr, #lightning and #bitcoin #onboarding.

I suspect they use the old adage 'if its free your the product'

The data we can build from the usage of our services is being used only to monitor the efficiency and well-being of our services, as well as for improving the products.

You can 100% confirm this since our code is open source.

So when connected to your node it is just like Phoenix and WoS in that you know the destination and amount of payments, and if it is a payment from one Alby user to another you know the source too

What percentage of Alby users connect it to their own node?
