Lots of exciting stuff brewing to make #Bitcoin payments more scalable and seamless! πŸš€

How could a nostr:npub19hg5pj5qmd3teumh6ld7drfz49d65sw3n3d5jud8sgz27avkq5dqm7yv9p-first wallet like Alby Hub work on mobile?

A technical experiment πŸ‘‡

https://blog.getalby.com/alby-hub-android-foreground-service-experiment/

Our goal: Keep the smooth Alby Hub experience of connecting apps of your choice, but make it even easier for new users to jump in.

So we tried something a bit more nostr-native: an Android Foreground Service!

This lets us maintain a persistent WebSocket connection without needing push notification services.

It is running on a #Cashu wallet and could also play nicely with #Ark or #Spark!

We do many experiments like this one to see if the idea is viable.

As it helps to shape our direction going forward we'd love to know: Would run Alby Hub as an Foreground Service on Android? πŸ”‹πŸ“²

Bro. Fix your channel providers. Large percentage of my sends fail. Even with proper liquidity, channel routes, and node health at 100%. Had to leave Alby hub

Learning the hard way, nostr:nprofile1qqsvn0dkjt80raqrxd470c98n7zrdehmcvj6p5hgw3kyku6zyd8z0fqpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejsz9rhwden5te0wfjkccte9ejxzmt4wvhxjmcrzzyf7 that living entirely on a Bitcoin standard β€” zero fiat, direct deposit, bills paid through your app β€” might be more idealistic than practical. Not because of the sell fees on your end (though those are annoying), but because Bitcoin makes most of its gains in just 10-12 days a year. The rest of the time it’s flat or down β€” meaning you’re usually selling at a loss just to cover expenses. Bear markets? Just stupid as shit.

Gm bro. Can I pay with lightning on the cold card website? πŸ™

Imagine buying ETH over Bitcoin. Pour one out for the shitcoiners

That map is outdated with garbage entries, at least for much of the US
