Anyone knows who is building a tool that does LNURL-verify calls (to getalby.com) with user agent RestSharp/110.2.0.0 ?
I was listening to Cryptos R Us on YouTube, in the segment where George reads/answers questions. Someone had asked him about whether Alby was legit. He didn’t even know what it was; I was in the middle of a delivery, and couldn’t set him straight. He is super-bullish on #Bitcoin, but too crypto positive as far as other coins (are there ANY others?) go. Maybe nostr:npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x can give him the word on why nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm . He is no Michael Saylor, but is a multiple coin holder.
oh, do you have a link?
I would love to reply. and also hear where we need to communicate and explain more.
thanks a lot!
There’s a Telegram group and you can also contact nostr:npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x here directly.
I seem to not see the history here. what is your issue? how can I help?
Do you have your tickets to Tokyo already?
I still have to plan my itinerary. Maybe I might make 2-3 stops on the way from Europe, what are good hubs I should visit?
Hello Nostr!
Lots of talk about nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm being down recently. Does anyone know why this is happening? Or if #Alby have acknowledged the problem?

not sure if we had posted here.
we had some network issues which caused some delays and our apps not being reachable.
but all up and fast now :)
thanks!
I am glad, too... so we can go back to bed here, lol :)
we just had a small network hiccup again, but it should be fine. are you still seeing an issue?
I am one of the developers behind Alby.
we work hard on making the UX for new users better, but hit me up with questions, I am happy to show you around.
Yo nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm
I could receive but not send zaps. I tried creating a fresh NWC but problem persists. However, if I remove NWC and go back to manual it works fine.
which app are you using?
I heard something similar from Amethyst
There is a difference between the nostr keys and the alby lightning account.
you can connect the lightning account to Zeus. But the keys you configure in the extension and those are only there.
Does this make sense?
It’s still a bit of a UX problem in that space but we work in making this more clear.
Thanks! 🙏
That article is already out of date though so just shared an addendum on HN.
To the best of my understanding, nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm is quite safe. You’re storing the keys locally in your browser extension, not on their server. While this is still not as safe as using the secure element on your phone, I don’t believe anyone I know has had any issues. nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm is also open source with lots of eyeballs on it, which is good for security. What’s more, they now offer child key permissions to restrict what can be signed I believe. Perhaps nostr:npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x can share more details
yes, the Alby extension is completely client side. The keys never leave your computer, they never leave the extension.
So the user is in full control.
and the code is and must be open source to be able to verify everything.
nostr:nprofile1qqsrxra3gv0lnkxz2pcxh0xuq9k4f9dr7azwq3aypqtnay4w0mjzmtqpr3mhxue69uhkummnw3ez6un9d3shjtnhd3m8xtnnwpskxegpr3mhxue69uhkummnw3ez6vp39e3x7mr59ehkyum9wfmx2uspz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqml4cey look how alby extension is spamming browser history! it's not a good ux. maybe a history replace option could resolve this I don't know.

🤔 what browser is that?

whoot, what?! wow, yay.
does this make sens? hope that answers the question?
when you signup our servers see your IP address. We keep this to a minimum, but when you do a web request some data is processed.
If you use the Alby extension you can do that with your own nodes and it's completely client side.
they are different and at this point completely separate.
the new master key option can derive a liquid key.
this is independent of the connected lighting wallet.
there is the Alby community call happening now: https://zap.stream/naddr1qqjxxvecxenxzdfs95mnqc3k956x2vnp95ungwty956x2drzxsmnqvrxvy6rjq3qeaz6dwsnvwkha5sn5puwwyxjgy26uusundrm684lg3vw4ma5c2jsxpqqqpmxwa8rv45
Where do I find good reliable relays these days?
Too many seem to have gone away?
