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

Default and the most simple one to use is LDK.

(Alby runs an optimized Esplora server so it's not depending on blockstream's public server) Out of the box everything should just work

If you already have an Umbrel, Start9, RaspiBlitz, or some LND setup then LND is a good option. You need to take care of your LND node then

PhoenixD has the advantage to use Acinq's LSP

the rest I would not recommend much at this point actually. Ecash is fun.

nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm does AlbyGO work with nwc.getalby.com?

I get “cannot read property ‘length’ of undefined”

you must have the latest version of Alby Go.

(it should work with all NWC wallets actually)

we still have some minor fixes to do, then it will also be publicly available soon

Paid a steak using my fresh Alby Hub wallet nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm with their hosted node service.

The restaurant owner was slinging Wallet of Satoshi.

“Fast and easy”, he said with a genuine smile on his face as the payment went through.

The reason it feels so good to pay in #bitcoin is because when you do that the gods are watching and smiling.

niiice! yeah, let's make the gods simle!

best usage of Alby Go is to buy steaks! 😉

Did you know that in the SEPA region you can stack stats directly to your Alby Hub with an Alby account?

I call it: " STACK SATS TO ZAP SATS "

Yes, those sats are held for when the channel will be closed.

You basically save up until you have enough.

The channel is already open, now you fill up the reserve.

Those 354 will be kept in the channel as reserve, the amount above that you can spend.

yes, kind off. but that page is pretty minimalistic. a but more info could help for some trust in the ops.

currently you need an Alby account. We plan to make it optional.

so I am not sure how trustworthy that is. Who runs it? on what infrastructure?

More trustworthy LN hosters are needed.

oh nice, $3 for hosting Alby Hub.

I need your help to review this analysis of my personality.

yes. so you have one channel. that is great. you can receive up to a million.

do you see that “10/354” reserve? so you need to get some more sats to meet the reserve and then you can send out sats. (those sats are still yours but reserved for closing the channel some time in the future)

It's a one time payment to open the channel, yes.

But depending on the LSP some funds are reserved to make sure there is enough funds to close it again at some point.

Thus those sats are not spendable (see the node page for details)
