Just a random Bitcoiner.

Honestly? No.

AlbyHub/NWC , or even phoenixd solves 99% of the use cases i would have for e-cash. Very little i would even need eCash for, let alone considering the custody tradeoffs

The downside of WoT (web of trust) relays:

I hear you. But It is one thing to trust the binaries (apk) represent the published code on GitHub;

at least there are people like nostr:nprofile1qqsydl97xpj74udw0qg5vkfyujyjxd3l706jd0t0w0turp93d0vvungppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qy08wumn8ghj7mn0wd68yttsw43zuam9d3kx7unyv4ezumn9wshsz8thwden5te0dehhxarj9ekh2arfdeuhwctvd3jhgtnrdakj70vc385 who check the builds for us.

Yet not even having the v0.2.3 and v0.2.4 code on GitHub, while binaries of these versions are being distributed via app stores for quite some time.... is pretty meh.

At the very least, unprofessional.

And yes, everybody should install from GitHub/Obtainium πŸ‘

PS: I wished more projects publish Dockerfiles for builds, so regular normies can build themselves. The Build process is oftentimes so poorly documented, and/or requires manual steps that it's just a pain in the ass to build apks yourself, so ppl just trust whatever is published.

Yes, they quickly added it yesterday.

It's still weird (some would say suspicious) that they produced two builds/apks locally, without even pushing the commits to GH.

And then uploaded the apks to Google Play.

Wait, typing one's nsec into some website..isn't that bad?!

Yes. But you are still not fully immune to force closes; these are part of the LN network and if your channel wants to FC on you, they can - no matter which node you have.

But the recommended channel peers in AlbyHub tend to be pretty good in that regard.

Thanks. I wasn't familiar with that term (and what it means in practice.)

I already use filter.nostr.wine ..i guess that should do .

AlbyHub does support several backends (LND, CLN, BreezSDK, Greenlight, Cashu etc) - but it also come with its own embedded node (using LDK), which is the easiest nntaleb way to start for fresh users. Just deposit on-chain funds, press Open channel and off you go. Or alternatively, purchase an incoming channel from an LSP

It's the go-to way to self host, hand down. πŸ™Œ

Once they remove the requirement to have a getalby account, it'll be truly self sovereign.
