Oddbean new post about | logout
 Welp, I tried yesterday about four times (and two different ways) to move my Primal wallet balance to my Alby wallet and I haven't been able to. I probably shouldn't have replaced the npub that Alby generated for me when I signed up (I replaced it with my own current npub so that I could use Alby as my browser signer for nsec actions bc al the other signers I had were shite). I can only guess that's why it's not working.

 Maybe if I create a new npub with another Alby wallet (I was thinking of doing it anyway for my one of my brands) and send all my Primal sats to it, then I can replace my Primal wallet here with my Alby wallet. I will probably only use my brand accounts to broadcast product announcements and make replies.  
 This may not be 100% applicable as I’m not understanding the issues you are experiencing 100%…

But here is a reply from Alby support which may have some application to you.

“Just make sure you only have one Alby account in the browser extension with your correct nsec keys. If you have multiple accounts, they all need to have the same nsec keys. You can either remove the duplicate extension accounts and keep the one with the original nsec keys, or copy the original nsec keys to the other extension accounts. It’s up to you. This is necessary because we don’t store nsec keys on our servers: they're managed only in the extension. Users with multiple extension accounts but a single nostr profile often face this issue.

Right now, there’s no workaround for this regarding nostr keys, but we're considering future updates to possibly manage nsec keys within Alby Hubs for a smoother experience. However, this isn't under development yet, and we're still exploring how to implement it.” 
 I definitely only have one. I replaced the npub Albu generated for me upon account creation, and replaced it with my own Primal npub https://m.primal.net/LQHr.png
