Sorry for that. We are working on a fix. It should be back soon.
For now it is not possible unfortunately. For example Strike cannot send boosts or boostagrams to podcasters for value 4 value payments.
So the easiest way is to deposit sats from Strike into your Alby Hub.
Is running Alby Hub for free on your own machine an option? There are many ways: https://guides.getalby.com/user-guide/alby-account-and-browser-extension/alby-hub/alby-hub-flavors
Right. For people that don't want an Alby lightning address and payment notifications, they can use Alby Hub without an Alby account. 👍
The cool thing is that everybody even users of the shared wallet can keep using their Alby account and the Alby Extension for free.
We encourage everybody to take control over their bitcoin and start their own Alby Hub (getalby.com). It is easier than one might think.
We'll also publish more information this week.
There is no ending of Alby.
You can keep using your Alby account and the Alby Extension.
We encourage you to take control over your bitcoin and start your own Alby Hub (getalby.com). Some users still have an internal shared wallet, which is phased out.
AlbyHubにTorは搭載されてないはずだから、Torでしか通信できないLNDとは通信できない。
LNDからしたらAlbyHubのノードのIPアドレスおよびポート番号がわからないから接続しにいけない。
It will work without Tor. You'll need the lnd connect string and the certificate.
Happy to help anytime. There are also personal onboarding sessions for #albyhub which are quite fun: https://cal.com/getalby/alby-hub-onboarding
Calculating lightning fees upfront is tricky. People exploited 0% reserves. That's why had to introduce it too, like many other wallets.
Let us know how much is stuck in your wallet and we'll reimburse the rest.
We recommend users to move over to Alby Hub which is available for free or as paid version if you prefer more convenience.
You can keep your Alby account. We'll publish more information about what users can do now. The Alby Extension will remain and there will be a way to use it for all things Nostr.

Danie, let us know if we can help with anything.
We also offer personal onboardings just in case: https://cal.com/getalby/alby-hub-onboarding
nostr:npub1q5sah9f3p9kl7uqdeaqskqwmg74ktxx70e0093dzh4lpzcp3t0mqzxky65 Do you know if this is something that I need to fix on my side? The lud6 thing. The error message makes it look like it is on my side.
Did you change something your side? I just sent 2 zaps from Alby's and my wallet.
There will be more information about what you can do now. No need to rush. Offering a simple to use wallet is very important for us.
When the bitcoin prices rises, we can adjust the prices when denominated in bitcoin. That's the cool thing when it comes to a deflationary currency like bitcoin.
Have you looked into these options to run a Hub? https://guides.getalby.com/user-guide/alby-account-and-browser-extension/alby-hub/alby-hub-flavors
or you find someone who creates a subaccount for you on their own Hub.
Can you zap with nostr:nprofile1qqsrf5h4ya83jk8u6t9jgc76h6kalz3plp9vusjpm2ygqgalqhxgp9gpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqzyrhwden5te0dehhxarj9ekxzmnyqyt8wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnwdaehgu3wvfskueq555fk2 wallet?

There are so many possibilities how you can combine Alby and Zeus.
- Open a channel in Zeus and zap
- Zap with Alby Extension or Alby Go + Alby Hub and a Olympus Channel
- Connect an Alby account + Alby Hub to Zeus and zap
Things might change. But this how we plan to adjust prices.

thanks Moritz, it's just that the timing was less than ideal
coming out with the killer product (easy shared, hosted wallet with api) first, _then_ a more customer-work-involved product (alby hub) is kind of telling a story in reverse
admittedly, it was probably not your initial plan
Right Alby Hub is still early. All the APIs remain working.
For businesses it is a blessing because they have more control. For the individual consumer we can still improve a few things.
There will be an option for people with seed money. We'll publish details soon.
There are many options to run Alby Hub without Alby Cloud.

You can use an LND node as a funding source for Alby Hub. I don't know if Zeus allows allows such connections.
