Works with #AlbyHub, @umbrel, @Start9, @LifPay, @Coinos, @MinibitsCash and any node embracing Nostr Wallet Connect 😎 The experience is... comfortably simple - we all essentialy need this to perform two main features: SEND and RECEIVE. But there is more... - Address book - Currency conversion - Multiwallet - QR scanner hyperspeed 3.0 - Dark/light theme ... and perhaps some future (reasonable ;) features that open source contributors suggest or help building.

Now, use your sats on the go. And... it looks and feels great on your phone! ---------- Little astronaut bee is waiting for you. On your iOS App Store, Google Play and @zap.store Get Alby Go.

1. You need a wallet or node that lets to connect to itself via NWC, like Alby Hub, Coinos, Umbrel and others mentioned. 2. In this wallet/node you generate NWC Connection Secret, that you can scan with app wanting to use it (Alby Go, Primal, Amethyst, Alby Account). 3. You scan or paste the NWC Secret into Alby Go, so you can very quickly and easily use your node/wallet from 1. in your pocket. + It has some additional features like subaccounts, expiry dates, budgets, receive via Lightning Address and can be extended with many - but SEND and RECEIVE are the most essential ;)

You can use the friends & family app inside Alby Hub to give her a subaccount that she can scan the QR code from a Nostr app and start zapping. Soon we will generate lightning addresses for subaccounts which will make this super easy.

I can confirm I have self-hosted Alby Hub connected. Ably Go is clean as fuck. Quick question: is it possible to connect either Alby Hub or Alby Go to LNBits wallet, I use this for segregating funds. #asknostr #askalby

I can see where you can set budgets for connected apps which is neat for segregating funds on Alby Go, but I am stuck on connecting to LNBits wallet. I currently have the Alby Browser Ext connected to my Nodes LNBits wallet, which gives me some comfort knowing my main node's funds aren't exposed. I guess what I'm wondering is if I can the Browser Ext. accessing the LNBits wallet via the Alby Hub so that both the main node and the LNBits wallet can be managed all though the one interface. I hope that makes sense

Although I agree it is a bit confusing, it's also not rocket science when you understand the difference between browser extension and alby account. Here's how you can configure your alby wallet in the new Alby Go: 1) Go to https://getalby.com/user 2) Click on "Connect" (upper handside) 3) Choose "NWC Connections" 4) Click on "Connect app" 5) Give the configuration a name, configure it and click on "Next" 6) Click on "QR Code", you will need this is in Alby Go 7) Open your Alby Go app 8) Scan the QR Code 9) Success

The feedback we got so far on the guides and easiness to figure that out from others was quite different - happy to see different opinion! We're happy to help any time, please join us for a call at convenient time at https://cal.com/getalby - we'll be happy to help you navigate through our products. We understand it's complicated and we work every day to make it more intuitive. That would also help us learn where users struggle.

Given that we have to switch to Alby Hub to do this and the only free option is to host it ourselves, what happens if the PC I'm hosting on shuts off? Alby Go just completely unuseable on my phone app as well by proxy correct? Money is tight after an unexpected payment had to be made so I wanna weigh all my options

The way lightning works currently both sender and receiver have to be online. so also Alby Hub needs to be online, the easiest is to run it on some device that is always on (or a cloud service) if it’s offline or locked no payments can be made.
