Design at Alby. I care deeply about bitcoin adoption as everyday money and I contribute only to bitcoin & freedom tech open source projects

Arriving in Athens today. Anyone here in Greece? #asknostr

I want to read a book when it’s XXI century with all its technology but humanity never evolved into settlement societies so all people on earth are nomads

nostr:npub1cj8znuztfqkvq89pl8hceph0svvvqk0qay6nydgk9uyq7fhpfsgsqwrz4u has been the top npub for calling out trump shitcoinery to be fair

Fair enough!

Did I say you did? :)

Sneak peek of App pages for Alby Hub

#nostrdesign #albyhub

I want to create Hellrider - hellthreads explorer. Who’s up?

Huge shoutout to the @Alby team for the onboarding and Q&A call today! ⚡️✨⚡️

Having a one-click self-custodial lightning node with AlbyHub and the app, AlbyGo, and options to connect via NWC to multiple apps is a game changer! 🙌

I highly recommend jumping on a call if you have an Alby account, to have your questions answered and to offer feedback to the team 👍

👉Check your email for the invite to a call 📥

The team wants to be sure everything works and is streamlined before opening it up to everyone, so your feedback matters! 💯

💻 You can also send feedback and request features online at: https://feedback.getalby.com/

CONNECT ALBYGO APP TO YOUR ALBY HUB

If you already have AlbyHub, did you know you can connect it to the AlbyGo app?

👉You can choose the permissions all the way from full access to read only.

NOTE ON THE UNCLE JIM MODEL 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

While the team acknowledges that 1-person 1-node would be the ideal, and they make it EASY for anyone even vaguely tech-savvy, the reality is that until this a no-brainer for your grandma 👵 we need an interim solution.

This is where the Hub comes in, and you can be an Uncle Jim for your friends and family with AlbyHub, if you and they would like to use that option.

As I see it, this is a far better option than them using a custodial LN wallet!

Kudos to the team for all their work and efforts to make this self-custodial option while keeping it as user friendly as possible! 🧡🙏💜

RE: PRIVACY 🕵️

To have true privacy in Lightning is very challenging!

Unless you have the tech know-how to run your own instance of LND on your own server for example, there will be some trade offs.

For most ppl currently, in order to have a Lightning address (for eg: thesimplestbitcoinbook@getalby.com) you will need

an account with an email, although it *can* be a pseudonymous email, which offers some measure of privacy.

The beauty of the new self-custodial option with nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm is that you are 100% in control of your funds. You will get a 12-word seed phrase you must secure (and keep offline!) in case you ever need to restore your wallet.

You can also leave and transfer your funds out of Alby at anytime without needing ‘permission’.

Awesome to have you there!

You still can use NWC with Minibits connecting to apps I think. Don't know why this doesn't work but will find out!

Is Minibits online when you do this? Meaning, you mobile app is open?

Looking for about 2 people who would like to have a 15m chat with me and test a prototype of new channel opening flow in Alby Hub.

If you're up to, here's a link to schedule that:

Is Farcaster still a thing?

No, Alby Go will be simple payments app.

But we're going to be improving Alby Hub mobile experience. So you can always manage from your browser

This can be awesome tool for following protests around the world nostr:note1qqqqy88ajuht3jfz4jv4x08kufkv275jsaga7xu7xrzzjq2xgcdqzut8we
