 Do you need a lightning node with channels and liquidity to use the Alby Hub? Will it be released for Start9? 
 It will be released on Start9 and can use either the LND on Start9 if you have one, or an inbuilt lightning node. There’s basic channel management but we’re trying to make it as simple and fun! as possible 
 Do you have a start9? - there is an early StartOS package: https://github.com/horologger/albyhub-startos 
(you can download the .s9pk file from here if you're logged in at github: https://github.com/horologger/albyhub-startos )   
 By running Albyhub on my Start9 or on a standalone RPi, will this reveal my IP to Alby and/or liquidity provider, or does it run behind Tor? 
 When you do requests to services like a liquidity provider or Alby it might see your IP if you don't put it behind a VPN or similar - just like any other resource that you load. 
afaik the LSPs do not offer Tor hidden services (at least not all).
