 ✨ Introducing Alby Hub ✨

https://m.primal.net/Jcqd.jpg 

Alby Hub is a new, open source self-custodial wallet from Alby designed to be used in Nostr, mobile & desktop apps, websites, games and more!

It is a one-click install node that lets you connect to dozens of 
 @NWC apps. 

🐝 Best part - you can use it with Alby Account and that means you can use it with your lightning address. You can also still log in to apps that support "Log in with Alby" 

https://m.primal.net/Jcqs.mp4 

😍 We are rolling out access to the public β€” if you are interested in Alby Hub,  join the waitlist and you'll get it soon πŸš€ 

https://getalby.com/waitlist

🌐 Alby Hub works best when it runs 24/7, so users can plug it into many different apps and use it everywhere β€” on the web, on the go with mobile wallets, inside apps and games β€” no matter the platform!

https://m.primal.net/Jcqn.jpg 

πŸ”Œ We focus on streamlining the experience of using your wallet in the apps you already love. We have some plans on deeper and deeper Nostr integration, you your Hub will only get more powerful with time πŸ‘€

https://m.primal.net/Jcqp.jpg 

πŸ” Your keys are safe and encrypted by a password of your choice. Alby cannot access your funds or reset your password: your sats are truly yours, and with that comes responsibility!

https://m.primal.net/Jcqq.jpg 

🧈 To make spinning up your Hub quick and smooth, we offer Alby Cloud subscription for our users. For 21k sats / month you don't need to worry about any hardware or server hassle: you get a link access to your hub, priority in-app support, access to Alby Buzz community of Alby supporters, and more to come!

https://m.primal.net/Jcqm.jpg 

πŸ†“ However, Alby Hub is100% open-source and you can also run it completely for free on your own device, personal server or cloud. Feel free to verify, suggest and contribute to code: https://github.com/getAlby/hub

⚑ Our mission is to make lightning decentralised and easy. And make some of those zaps stats less custodial... We're working on creating an experience to open and manage your first lightning channel  that's not scary or difficult.

 Super cool going to give this a go 🐝 
β–² β–Ό
 And here it goes πŸš€

Own your keys, run it in a cloud and safely use your wallet in apps. 

You can use it in the browser extension, mobile apps, native apps, games, podcasting apps β€” anywhere you were able to use Alby Account so far and anywhere with expanding  @NWC

Self-custodial zaps never been easier

 Already joined @Alby Hub waitlist 🐝 βœ”οΈŽ 
 So, is it a normal BTC on-chain wallet and if connected to, let's say, Primal.net you can zap straight from that wallet, instead from a Lightning address? 
β–² β–Ό
 It's a lightning wallet / node! 
β–² β–Ό
 That's awesome news. Can't waitπŸ’ͺ😍

 🀝 Congrats @Alby ONWARD 🫑

 How much do we need to open a channel? 
β–² β–Ό
 2 channels are enough to go on the zapping spree. You can just get them from a LSP in the app or open a custom one as a pro user. 
β–² β–Ό
 Had mine setup. Zapping has been a lot more smoother and more frequent since then πŸ€‘ 
 It looks like this time your lightning experience has changed 🧑🎩 #alby one more time provide fantastic solution

 Does it work as a nip-46 remote signer for nostr content or is it just a remote self host for your wallet? 
β–² β–Ό
 Not (yet ;)

 Wow, an LN node that can sign in to several nostr applications and website.  I always use it when using a browser on desktop. 

Wen supports ecash, or make mint ? 😁  
β–² β–Ό
 would people use their lightning wallets as primary wallets for #nostr going forward? wouldn't e-cash mints take over that place? @PABLOF7z 
β–² β–Ό
 😱 I did not know that same user can do two zaps to the same note!

Is this a feature/bug?

https://m.primal.net/JegL.png
 
β–² β–Ό
 It’s a feature. You can do all the zaps you want as long as you have the sats 
β–² β–Ό
 This is so good

 Available on iOS? 
 Quite a complex setup. 

Trying to use a new "isolated" account as a sandbox. 

Amethyst is saying correctly 0 balance when I try to zap but Zeus is now showing full node balance. Before it used to show my custodial alby balance. 

Was expecting Zeus to show 0? 
β–² β–Ό
 How do you connect Zeus? 

Via LNDHub to getalby.com Alby Account? What wallet is Account linked to - this isolated one via NWC or your 'main' one? 
 Zeus is connected to previous custodial alby setup. Maybe I should change Zeus to the new lndhub config?  
β–² β–Ό
 Zeus doesn't support NWC yet. If your Alby Account is linked to your Hub (ie ()getalby.com lightning address redirects there, then Zeus should be able to read balance and act as wallet interface to your Hub, if those LNDhub credentials are correct.

Happy to jump on a cal.com/getalby to solve this or let's move to support@getalby.com

 This looks promising, 

Can any one DM an invite code? Much appreciated!

 Are you gonna bring it to Umbrel?

 It's already there! https://guides.getalby.com/user-guide/v/alby-account-and-browser-extension/alby-hub/alby-hub-flavors/umbrel-start9-etc.

 Strange. I'm getting a page not found for that link?! 
β–² β–Ό
 Ah, found it: https://guides.getalby.com/user-guide/v/alby-account-and-browser-extension/alby-hub/alby-hub-flavors/umbrel-start9-etc. - the dot at the end is important but Primal client did use it as a full stop after the link and not as part of the link 
 Hi and congratulations - Alby Hub really looks magical πŸ‘€πŸͺ„πŸβœ¨πŸ‘πŸš€!
Unfortunately, I will need some time to change my setup. Two questions please:

1. Can you tell us/me when you will sunset the "free custodial wallet"?
2. Do you recommend to remove the Sats from there now?

 Another tool for our Bitcoinization of our personal and commercial lives is now available. Adding an important stair for many to step on when climbing towards becoming 1st Class Bitcoin Citizens by running fully Self-Hosted nodes. 

An alternative to Voltage, that integrates with your browser and Nostr. This tool can empower many on their journey to self-sovereignty over their entire data storage and communications tool stack.
