All you need to use bitcoin as everyday money online, in apps and in person.

Rayn Matta did a documentary called "Operation Amber Alert" and the last 20 minutes focuses on the orphanage.

I am moderating a panel with Bob McDonnel and Ryan in Vegas at the conference to share their story.

They are all Bitcoiners ๐Ÿงก

One of the goals is to help the girls understand financial literacy (John and Reyna at Mi Primer Bitcoin will help get the diploma going there)

2nd is job and life skills (We will have volunteer vacations for Bitcoiners to support the girls with education and skill dev)

3rd is of course saving in Bitcoin

That's where Strike and Alby come in - is it possible to get something set up for them so the founder- Bob is the guardian and the girls can start to earn and spend in sats safely?

Thanks and Big LOVE ๐Ÿ’œ

Hey, yes! Specifically our subwallets (Friends & Family) might be the solution to this. However it would be nice to pair the setup with onchain saving! LEt us know if you need any help

Hey, did Librewolf update or did you update our Extension? You might try to keep the older (working) version...

This new service from nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm looks like magic!

Iโ€™ve always been told that Bitcoin and subscriptions does not play well together, but apparently Alby managed to solve the conundrum and now I might be able to schedule regular weekly payments to my daughtersโ€™ wallets. How cool is that?

Iโ€™m wondering if there are elements of centralization in this solution.

Iโ€™d love to hear a more detailed explanation of the inner workings.

https://zapplanner.albylabs.com/

There is a centralization - we are hosting the app and use granted permissions to schedule payments. You could however host it on your own of course!

Small correction: it's not new, we had it for over a year, and it will look more magical soon!

You can still use Alby Account, but have another wallet/node connected as a backend!

We've been cookin' ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿณ

Latest two releases of Alby Go, 1.10 and 1.11, brought you lots of goodies:

Alby Go is to pay with your node "on the go", but where to go? nostr:nprofile1qyv8wumn8ghj7enfd36x2u3wdehhxarj9emkjmn99uq3zamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wwa5kuef0qqsra2ey033mkdwl5w8q0jss9ak69zafh82xsuvhwsaauw3trkq2amgvvanjv answers that question by showing you nearby merchants accepting bitcoin and it's now conveniently accesible directly in your Alby Go.

Go, spend some sats!

Huge UX improvement in connecting apps on mobile!

If you're using Alby Hub, you can enable "one tap connections" for your Alby Go. That will allow Alby Go to confirm new NWC connections on your mobile without the need to go to Alby Hub and copy&paste or scan the connection secret.

Available now to all apps that use Bitcoin Connect and soon in other apps too!

https://m.primal.net/PenX.mov

๐Ÿ‡ฟ๐Ÿ‡ฆ You can now use Alby Go to pay at 2,204 Pick n Pay grocery stores in South Africa!

Integration was available thanks to nostr:nprofile1qyw8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68yttjv4kxz7fwwak8vuewwdcxzcm9qythwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnxd46zuamf0ghxy6t6qqsz85k206vm3vqdmlvcy9l4kyfqchlnf4hnctasxufa3ph0ck9decgv95m3a . At the store, just ask for a "QR" payment and scan it with Alby Go. Who's going to test it first?

๐Ÿ˜ฎ There's much more smaller fixed and improvements in those last two releases:

๐Ÿ”ƒ BTC rates now refresh every 5 minutes for up-to-date pricing

๐Ÿ Improved branding with Alby Go logos on success screens

โœ๏ธ Updated wallet removal copy for better clarity

๐Ÿ› Fixed iOS camera crashes and backgrounding errors

Sir, you have not been rugged / We need to work on proper balance display in case of channels being offline... and that's it.

Sorry for the inconvenience, please forget vengeance

Maybe this is public knowledge but nostr:nprofile1qqs2nsd66pv44e5avmytw4ejy7k7fn8fq7rczrnaexcy8v2y484xjcspr9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezu7n9vfjkget99e3kcmm4vsq3wamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwvd6hyun9de6zuenedym5ungt works fine on #robosats even their website claims the opposite (maybe old info).

On the other hand nostr:nprofile1qqsyv47lazt9h6ycp2fsw270khje5egjgsrdkrupjg27u796g7f5k0spz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq3uamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3dwp6kytnhv4kxcmmjv3jhytnwv46z7vpawzd hub is nothing but trouble. Got it on a RP3 and very often fail transactions (even on the browser extension). Also had to open a second channel even I had plenty of capacity on the former. Totally unreliable

Thank you for your feedback! Please feel free to shoot us at support.getalby.com when you experience some issues, something not working.

We do nothing but our best to make your noderunning experience easy!

Hey, there was a network problem with Megalith channels, but should be back online!

Regarding failed transaction - could you please message us at support.getalby.com with details?

Thank you sir!

/tk

When channel is offline, sats on it do not appear on a total balance - we need to rethink how to display that info. Sorry for the confusion!

And there has been networking issues with one of the LSPs, should be back online very soon.

๐Ÿšง Some of you might have noticed network issues with their Megalith channel.

We are aware of that and work on it! Channels should come online soon!

Thank you for patience ๐Ÿ’™ ๐Ÿ’™ ๐Ÿ’™

PS Check status of our various endpoints at

Hey, this should be fixed - in case please restart the Hub and let us know if that worked!

You can break the string received from Coinos or Alby Hub into pubkey, relay and secret.

To receive on Nostr you must fill your lud-16 (lightning address) profile info on any client.

๐Ÿ“ฌIssuing multiple lightning addresses has never been easier.

We've released Alby Lite to help you create multiple lightning addresses with two special capabilities ๐Ÿ‘‡

Hey nostr:nprofile1qyt8wumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgtcppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qqsyv47lazt9h6ycp2fsw270khje5egjgsrdkrupjg27u796g7f5k0s0pfy4z why don't you just merge Alby Go with BuzzPay ?

I mean adding a PoS (receive only) into Alby Go and being able to use any wallet/account configured in Alby Go (whatever is active or set manually one).

Really doesn't make sense to have 2 separate apps and will be very handy for small merchants.

"Just merge" would be probably writing the interface anew into Alby Go.... which might happen... eventually ;)

We are a small team, sir!

hmmm... maybe that's a good issue for a bounty?

Oh, could you please send it with some details (what Windows build is it? what Alby Hub release?) and did you try other releases?)

to support@getalby.com?

We'd appreciate!

You can install Alby Hub as the interface to your LND node, but it's not straightforward

Go through Node -> Open Channel, you should see more options under "Advanced"

Hey, sad to see this is your experience... and rather an exception among maaany that we handle. It's possible that your message got lost or our support master had a bad day... Would you like to share more details what has happened
