great!
The Alby Cloud is 21k sats per month (with a 50% welcome bonus for 3 months)
If you already have a server or computer you can also run it there.
Depending on what you need there will be some costs to open a channel.
In the future one channel might be included with the Alby Cloud subscription.
if you're happy with primal and only want to do nostr zapping then keep primal. no need to use Alby Hub.
If you want to do other things or want to be self-sovereign by owning your keys and having your own lightning channels, then Alby Hub might be interesting.
see the node page . you likely need to fill up the channel reserve first.
nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm where to find Alby Go? I just installed Hub on your cloud. It’s great
Wait a few more days it's not released, yet.
If you use nostr:npub10r8xl2njyepcw2zwv3a6dyufj4e4ajx86hz6v4ehu4gnpupxxp7stjt2p8 then you can already test it.
just to mention this, this is not in Alby Hub's hands.
This is a limitation of LDK, Phoenixd, also with CLN there are implementation issues and setups like LNBits have issues with that, too.
You might run the Alby Hub on your Desktop computer.
To be able to receive (and send) you have to have this application running!
That's why we recommend using a server/cloud setup which is always online.
I zapped you.
why is there an error with the balance in that screenshot? 🤔 what setup do you have there?
wanna get private? you can reach me now here:
ah, try out the new Hub with LND.
It basically is that old NWC app v2
Do you have a screenshot? You have installed it through the alby community store?

(official release will be coming soon to umbrel)
We're sending out invites daily. But maybe you find a nice nostrich here that can invite you already.
The Alby Hub needs to be running on the public network for that.
If it's on the Alby Cloud or on a Pi at home this will not work.
But you find the node pubkey on the "Node" page -> "advanced"
For now only with the Hub.
it uses NWC as a communication protocol and thus it would actually also work with other nodes/wallets that support NWC.
I see. so I assume receiving had issues because of the node not being online on the Desktop.
Alby Hub works best as an always online node on a server. which is why we also offer the Alby Cloud hosting.
The best user interface is often one that gives you only what you need and nothing more.
Kudos to nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm for passing my Drunk User Test™ by giving me a wallet app with two enormous buttons that just do what you expect.
This is solid UX design. 🙌🐝⚡️

Alby Go is optimized for the bars and the lightning beer taps out there! 🍻🍻🍻
(with a budget configured in the hub you could also control the sats you have available for drinking... but no good bar story every started with limiting your spending for drinks ;) )

Can I help you?
If you run it on your Desktop then you have to make sure to keep the app open when you want to receive and send.
If you have a channel open, did you also send sats in?
those are all quite random, will they be still there tomorrow?
