i think an updated tutorial on balancing channels with whatever tools are available now would be very helpful especially since alby has gone self custodial
Today Alby Hub 1.7.2 was released which includes a new Friends & Family app for quickly onboarding (you guessed it) your friends and family to bitcoin and lightning, powered by your hub's liquidity. They get a wallet without having to understand lightning or have their own channels, and not rely on large custodial services. They can get their own lightning address with an Alby Account, or connect their new wallet to the Alby extension, or very soon connect to Alby's new mobile app, Alby Go.
I'd love to jump on a call with anyone who would like to test the Friends & Family app or Alby Go, or just hear any feedback in general if you try it on your own! feel free to DM!

spotted one in the wild and had to add one nostr:npub18kpw3akvdsyk239lx0jgwksr74sq4nlha3r8u9g2rnrhztfpfhysy469c4

out with the old, in with the new nostr:npub1v0tfjv5ahr3c260jtzdk5w48krerrnkg8fmcnc5lpguk0qda04eqzm3m3e

Finalizing nostr:nprofile1qqstdedcx2cslucj6jcs2hw69fa5jyqrdxrsv806acrtcx6des427cgpzfmhxue69uhk7enxvd5xz6tw9ec82cspp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejsh2n5st wallet today.

I'm left with the edges to finish with a few layers of black edge paint. I kept the corners 90° this time instead of my usual round corners. Hopefully he won't be mad about it 😬
But I thought I might as well experiment with that on the wallet he made me experiment with ID screen.
Will post finished pictures later
🥳
You can already run in on Start9 https://guides.getalby.com/user-guide/v/alby-account-and-browser-extension/alby-hub/alby-hub-flavors/umbrel-start9-etc.
why would i run alby hub on my start9 if I already run a ln node?
I’d recommend Phoenix wallet. You can keep a substantial amount in phoenix and have a small amount on wos for zaps.
wife quote of the day:
“who the fuck wants to know my twelve words?!!!”
Regarding the recent Proton Wallet, I respect their conscious effort to be transparent and open about the tradeoffs / threat model (especially in their recent blog posts; see below).
I just tested out the wallet, great work.
Though not perfect ATM, they seem to be on a good path so far in building a Bitcoin-only wallet to simplify sending and receiving Bitcoin for their 100 million Proton users.
Presently, they appear to use the Bitcoin Dev Kit (BDK; see below) as a dependency, with coinjoin and the Lightning Dev Kit (LDK) on their radar. Hopefully, we will see silent payments integrated down the line, too.
Nevertheless, as a Proton user, I look forward to seeing how the Proton Wallet evolves 🔥

i’d love an invite too if you got any extras lying around 🙏
there have been no studies to conclude how harmful combining all these various adjuvants are. nevermind doing a study of how an mmr adjuvant and a hepA adjuvant react to each other, how about the entire vaccine schedule? insanity.
if you have more info on this please send it my way
no need for the satschip. send me the details.
that looks perfect. the identity card is covered by a mesh, i’m sure you could find something of that nature. the identity card has a section behind it for extra card storage as well accessible from the right side of the pocket. same with the other side of the wallet. if you could replicate that, my sats are yours.

this is my current wallet. it’s got this harder outer shell on it. not sure if you can replicate this style but I’d buy a replica if I could get the same hardness on the outside but your leather and craftsmanship on the inside

i’m sure it was a one time thing i tried the other day and it was working but thank you
