 Would love to hear feedback from you! We take any feedback seriously and in the coming weeks we are going to improve Hub heavily based on it 
 I’m sure I’ll have some once I use it more! One thing I think could use a disclaimer is if an existing user is transitioning to Alby Hub. I wasn’t aware that my existing sats balance would essentially be locked unless I open a channel. 

I didn’t have a high balance (and I’m most likely going to open a channel anyways), but to lose access to my existing sats which I was using to zap was kind of off-putting. I’m thinking about a casual user who is excited about Alby Hub but might not be excited to find out that they have to commit 75K+ sats to use it when things were fine with the existing custodial setup. 

Overall, I do think it’s for the better that new and existing users are being encouraged to run their own node, and I’m looking forward to future improvements. Keep up the great work! 🤙
