working on getalby.com - a browser extension with lightning and Nostr support

I love the extensive feature list of Alby Go:

+ pay with lightning

+ receive with lightning

everything you need on the Go, easy!

what actually happened to paid relays? I want a well operated, trustworthy relay service. what's out there?

is bitcoin mining in space soon becoming a thing?

I don't see how Alby Hub should be any LNBits clone?! It's a lightning wallet built around NWC and has a completely different approach and is a totally different product. It does not even try to do most of the things that LNBits does...

OK, it is a lightning wallet and also works with LND - same as LNBits maybe... and many other lightning wallets and tools out there. Did you even look at it?

We also support NWC development for LNBits, add support for LNBits in libraries like bitcoin connect and generally recommend LNBits to many projects...

To me a diverse lightning ecosystem is important and benefits all projects. Imo there is also no point to talk like that about other open source projects, we're in the same boat of working for Bitcoin and lightning, aren't we?

what is the easiest library to create and sign a nostr event with Swift? (for NWC)

you get that one from the Alby Hub.

The mobile app is the most simple way to send/receive on the go - only thing you need on the go.

which podcasting 2.0 do you mean?

it’s not a podcast player. :)

it’s a simple af app to pay on the go.

does this mean that nostr:npub10r8xl2njyepcw2zwv3a6dyufj4e4ajx86hz6v4ehu4gnpupxxp7stjt2p8 users can now install the beta of the Alby mobile payment app to pay with Alby Hub on the Go?

it's just still hard to have the useful data on those channels available. and we optimize for not closing channels. So that's why we did not manage to do it so far.

Also, what about cashu options like nostr:nprofile1qqstxwlea9ah3u6kjjszu6a7lrnhqkfh8eptp2z6v0e9558tlkkl2rgpzemhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejz7qgwwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkctcpremhxue69uhkummnw3ez6ur4vgh8wetvd3hhyer9wghxuet59u4kl3vp? They're not self-custodial, but there's pretty good privacy guarantees for small amounts, and you can sweeping to self-custody once your balance gets to a certain level

Run Alby Hub it comes with good default peers/LSPs to get channels with.

Would love to hear your feedback.

anyone up for packaging alby hub for MyNode? we need this for nostr:npub1zjgyjhcdpfgux7c6qmrp8yhm6yvs8p9h32urr84du3vhsnj70vlsre4e8l ;) and others...

Who has packaged an app for MyNode before?

nono, it shows the hub balance in the hub and on the wallet config you see your balance on the shared node and can transfer that.

🤯🧡🚀⚡️🪄 this is so mind blowing cool.

I am actually somehow sad that this at some point will be just a normal thing online. ;)

nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm and nostr:npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x Do you have to have an Alby account even when you still use your own sovereign setup? As, I connected my LND node to Alby Hub, but Alby Hub would not let me continue until I signed up with Alby. If this is so, I think you all need to let people run it without having to have an Alby account.

Currently this is still the case, yes.

But this requirement will be lifted and the account and all features that come with it will be optional.

We just did not finish it, yet.

We first worked on the flow with LSP channel suggestions, email notifications, etc.

no error?

but then lets build it directly on your Fedora from source.

Do you have Golang and nodejs installed?

(note sure if those are good fedora links)
