 Guessing the invite code is 21,420,069,000,000,000,000,000 easier than guessing #bitcoin private key!

UPDATE:
We've decided to make our hive a little bit more exclusive 💎🐝


Alby Extension remains open and free to everyone.

Read what and why here:

 Interesting move! 
 If this is because your infra can't scale fast enough to support the new users coming in: Congrats! Thats an awesome achievement and a great problem to have. 

If this is because you are afraid of losing people's funds: We hear you. Thanks for letting us know and force the issue before it happens. 

If this is to prepare for a business model where alby is a paid Wallet, this is a great way to go. 

If this is just a marketing play to create a false sense of exclusivity, it's not going to work. 
 You are not good enough to get into our special club. How fiat of you 😆 
 BLINK TWICE IF THE FEDS ARE THERE 
 🐶🐾😉😉 
 I am confused, is this only applicable for new users who wants to join? 
 Private keys are average 2²⁵⁵ guesses. It would fill the whole mobile nostr app screen to show part of it. 
 oh wow I got really lucky. I just recently created an account after onboarding to nostr and I learned a whole ton about lightning. I just implemented Bitcoin Connect to my app but that might not be feasible anymore, but no problem. I think this is a sign to get more involved in open source instead of my own work 
 Alby now "invite only"

 Did I just miss out on getting in? What are us poor antisocial people supposed to do now 🥲 
 @Alby
Why am I missing 100,000 sats? 
 Great. If it's Free. More people will sign up
