All you need to use bitcoin as everyday money online, in apps and in person. Open source, self-custodial and innovative. ๐Ÿ“ข Blog: https://blog.getalby.com ๐Ÿ‘ฅ Community: https://discord.getalby.com ๐Ÿ’ฌ Feedback: https://feedback.getalby.com ๐Ÿค— Support: https://support.getalby.com ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Code: https://github.com/getAlby/ #decentralization #sovereignty #openness

Advanced management will eventually come there. So far, to get Lightning Address and reconnect existing sub-account to Go, you need to reuse NWC secrets yourself ;)

Thanks for the Alby Hubโ€™s Friends & Family feature! I used it today to set up a sub-account for a family member, which I connected to Alby Go. Itโ€™s perhaps the easiest way to onboard close contacts without relying on third-party custodial services.

That said, I would appreciate the following additional capabilities:

โ€” A separate balance for the sub-account in the main accountโ€™s UI (currently, payments to the sub-account are merged with those of the main account and are indistinguishable)

โ€” For the main account owner to spend from the sub-accountโ€™s balance, it should require deleting the sub-account (in this case, the balances should merge)

โ€” An LN address for the sub-account

Additionally, I have not found a way to reconnect an existing sub-account to a new Alby Go instance. Is it possible to display the secret code again when the sub-account is already set up and running?

Anyways, great stuff! All the best.

Thanks for feedback! Taking notes ๐Ÿ“’

one simple trick!

(Alby Go shouldn't influence your zap receive side)

You don't need to set CoinOS address, you can still use [@]getalby.com one, while having CoinOS node as the funding source.

Mark, we believe you copied that secret into Alby Account, not into the Hub, right?

6 confirmations is 6 confirmations... sometimes it needs few more minutes for network to update routing info... In case, can you try restarting the Hub? VPN shouldn't matter here.

I believe what are you looking for are 'swap' services that facilitate the exchange of lightning sats and onchain sats. There are few, like Bisq, Robosats, Boltz, sats.mobi Telegram bot. They all vary somehow in the way they operate.

You should also be aware, that #AlbyHub is a lightning node thus also a bitcoin wallet (with an onchain balance, key ownership, control).

Your sats are either locked in channels, that enable lightning network and transactions, or reside (so to speak ;) ) on your onchain address, from which you can open a channel or send out elsewhere.

Opening channel is kind of native swapping-in from onchain to lightning

Closing channels otherwise - when channels is closed, sats from this channel are landing on your onchain balance.

That's easier than it sounds ;)

Hope that helps!

Usually all other platforms are updated within a week!

So this is a mini bomb or mini server? ๐Ÿ˜„

They are not gone - sats from your side of closed channels will fall back to the onchain wallet, backed up by your 12 words. However, your channels are still probably opened, so you either need to wait some time till counterparty closes it, or ask them to close earlier.

Hey Cole!

There are few benefits of noderunning (this is the transition, from our custody and control of your sats -> to your own control, on your own node).

Mainly: you are in full control of your sats, noone can rugpull you, no third party is under regulatory pressure for holding your funds, and it gives great insight into how Lightning Network works. Alby Hub is the easiest such option out there, and gives few more great features, such like subaccounts, NWC connections to dozen of apps, Podcasting 2.0 connections, LNDhub connection, Lightning Address...

However, we are aware that lightning self-custody is not for everyone, especially if you do not use Lightning Network that much yet.

The price of 21,000 sats (and you should be able to see -50% discount in your profile, let me know if you do not) is for the cloud hosting of the Hub, maintaining the infrastructure, automatic updates & backups, also comes with other benefits (discount at partner bitocin companies, premium support, more coming). After all, there has to be some device that operates the software, that should be online at moments of sending and receiving transactions.

I'd recommend you installing Alby Hub for your desktop and run it from there - it's completely free.

If you decide at any time to move to the Cloud, it's also easy to migrate your Hub and keep your channels, transactions in new setup.

Come join one of our onboarding sessions, so you can learn more!

I hope that helps, let me know if you have more questions :)

Thanks! Are you logged in on getalby.com ?

Do you enter through getalby.com/feedback or feedback.getalby.com?

We noticed some issues, will appreciate your answers

From screnshots it looks like you have two accounts: d0ena@ and d0enakalle@.

Log in to the other one and figrue which Account do you want to have connected to your Hub. You can easily "Unlink" and create connection anew.

For further help, we recommend you to post on getalby.com/help, referring to this conversation.

Best!
