Now this is cool! I saw one of these for Wavlake before but now there is a nostr:npub1v5ufyh4lkeslgxxcclg8f0hzazhaw7rsrhvfquxzm2fk64c72hps45n0v5 version.

Technically that's a podcast boost not a zap. Cool nonetheless!
I use Tailscale to connect remotely to my Umbrel. Start9 probably has something similar. My Alby Hub is hosted in Alby's cloud, which costs 10k sats/month.
I rarely check my Umbrel node much less my Alby Hub node and both have just kept running. The Internet does occasionally go down and take my node with it and channels do sometimes get closed, but it doesn't happen a lot.
Or maybe direct integrations into the Bitcoin/Lightning interfaces of the self-hosted nodes?
I'm thinking an app for Umbrel, Start9, and other self-hosted nodes that lets them easily open channels with LSPs. I might create one once my pile of projects subsides a bit.
Alby Hub makes it stupid simple to run a node. Go to the Alby dashboard, click on Alby Hub, click through the steps in the setup guide, pay for a channel with Bitcoin or a credit card, and you're done. If you don't want to run it in their cloud, you can run the app and run it on your computer or on a Raspberry Pi Zero.
It works exactly the same as a custodial Alby wallet at that point, but only you have control of the keys.
That would be nice if the spec could distinguish between publicly routable channels (anyone can route payments through), privately routable channels (only channel peers can route through the channel), and non-routable channels (no routing; direct payments only).
Any plans to add public channels? I need them to receive sats for my podcast splits.
ZEUS is pleased to announce the integration of its lightning service provider, Olympus by ZEUS, into Alby Hub (nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm).
Alby Hub is a self-custodial, LDK-based Lightning node and web interface with a focus on connections to other web apps.

Do you support public channels now or is it still private-only?
I have the opposite effect if I don't drink it.
Using the public nostr:npub18d4r6wanxkyrdfjdrjqzj2ukua5cas669ew2g5w7lf4a8te7awzqey6lt3 accelerator API you can now fetch a lightning invoice to boost any transaction.
Integrate into your app / service today.
"How does Mempool Accelerator™ work?
Mempool sends your acceleration request to our mining pool partners. Partners who choose to accept your acceleration request prioritize your transaction based on your new accelerated fee rate.
For example, if you use Mempool Accelerator™ to accelerate a 1 sat/vB transaction to a 20 sat/vB target fee rate, mining pool partners will treat the transaction as though it has a 20 sat/vB fee rate."
Looks like it sold out immediately. I thought about going, but it's just not the same without the Abbott brothers.
It was a great event and was cool to meet everyone involved. You all did a great job putting this together!

100% of the sats went to artists who played this week.
That's a lot of sats! Great work to all the bands and to you all for setting it up!

✨ Introducing Alby Hub ✨
Alby Hub is a new, open source self-custodial wallet from Alby designed to be used in Nostr, mobile & desktop apps, websites, games and more!
It is a one-click install node that lets you connect to dozens of
nostr:npub19hg5pj5qmd3teumh6ld7drfz49d65sw3n3d5jud8sgz27avkq5dqm7yv9p apps.
🐝 Best part - you can use it with Alby Account and that means you can use it with your lightning address. You can also still log in to apps that support "Log in with Alby"
😍 We are rolling out access to the public — if you are interested in Alby Hub, join the waitlist and you'll get it soon 🚀
🌐 Alby Hub works best when it runs 24/7, so users can plug it into many different apps and use it everywhere — on the web, on the go with mobile wallets, inside apps and games — no matter the platform!
🔌 We focus on streamlining the experience of using your wallet in the apps you already love. We have some plans on deeper and deeper Nostr integration, you your Hub will only get more powerful with time 👀
🔐 Your keys are safe and encrypted by a password of your choice. Alby cannot access your funds or reset your password: your sats are truly yours, and with that comes responsibility!
🧈 To make spinning up your Hub quick and smooth, we offer Alby Cloud subscription for our users. For 21k sats / month you don't need to worry about any hardware or server hassle: you get a link access to your hub, priority in-app support, access to Alby Buzz community of Alby supporters, and more to come!
🆓 However, Alby Hub is100% open-source and you can also run it completely for free on your own device, personal server or cloud. Feel free to verify, suggest and contribute to code: https://github.com/getAlby/hub
⚡ Our mission is to make lightning decentralised and easy. And make some of those zaps stats less custodial... We're working on creating an experience to open and manage your first lightning channel that's not scary or difficult.
