 Nope. I don't. 
I still don't see how I'm wrong. 

It doesn't matter since I'll not be using anything alby related as soon as I can figure out how to delete the account I do have.  
 we provide and build software for which we provide services. 
Our goal is to put the user in control and can run everything. And we charge for value added services. it's simple actually.
If you don't value the work, then don't use it. 
But spreading FUD and lies on something that you seem to not know and understand is disappointing here on nostr.  
 if it means anything, i've seen this guy and he has a lot of followers but not a lot of sense

popularity especially in the context of stupid engagement based trending algorithms like primal uses leads to amplification of teh most outrageous and stupid

so, my advice is, ignore him for now, and maybe later you remove his ignore and he's got bored with fudding your work 
 Tons of good and sovereign tools with a “pay for more” model for sustainability. I’ll wait to see how it shakes out. Sounds like I’ll be able to self host an Alby Hub someday, and as long as no KYC is required for base usage, I’m good.  
 yeah, i'm down to run one of these things too, not confident about phoenix/acinq, breeze/lsp, or mutiny or... i even forget what is the other thing? zeyus? 🤣 none of them are good enough for me to shift from custodial

i literally don't have the time to waste on beta testing the work of betas, i'm gonna hold until i see more evidence about this alby hub but i like the sound of it already, because it hasn't been hyped and the devs have been slaving away humbly for at least 6 months on this

lightning is still very immature, and i'm a dev on nostr, so i can assure you, that if i don't know the protocol inside out it's still in alpha 
 you can for example get a <$50 device and put it in your closet it will work perfectly fine. 
 That’s pretty cool. I keep a few mini pc’s, a couple of raspberry pi’s, and have a couple of dedicated servers with Hetzner, so between it all, I’m going to find a place to try it when y’all say it’s ready. 

I’ve been with Alby since joining nostr - so I figure ya’ll have earned a bit of faith.  
 me also, quality software, quality service, and not making a stupid show 
 Pfft. You must not get around much. There's plenty of BS on nostr, it's just higher level BS than other corners of the internet.

Cool. That's a good goal. I hope you can stick with that in the long run. I hope I'm wrong, but, I'll likely never know.  
 Dude, there's NO KYC.

You pay with sats, not fiat
