 Is everyone ditching alby or something? I've been denied zapping many getalby users. 
I've also considered not using them after this trial period of 3 months and half off the 21,000 sat/month price tag. Seems steep as the btc prive climbs. It would be fine in the bear market but when it pumps it's costing more and more every month.

 Lot of people did cause the free hosting is going away. You have to host yourself or use their cloud. 
 idk but they did announce a sunset date of Jan 3rd the other day. https://image.nostr.build/3027695401213cd95a17752b602cfed47a405baba84c1dac186ff0c4a00052a8.jpg  
  @チャノさん you might want to get on the ZEUS self-custody train soon, or find a "better" zap custodian... 
 Estoy leyendo acá en nostr que muchos han dicho algo así como tú de Alby, que es lo que está pasando? 🤔 
 Is this happening all around the world with them? I think it’s a little steep to pay each month so if that’s what they will be doing I’m going back to WoS. 
 are you using it for just zaps? 

I'd rather risk the rug with ecash than use alby 🤣 I only have a handful of sats there for zapping, but that is just my preference. I also have some negative bias because when I first joined nostr i really didn't like the alby setup flow, and the zaps failing. 

GL finding the answer you're looking for. 
 ah now I seep nip05 as well 
 Yep. I'm out. I gave up trying  
 

I can't zap you because you use Alby and the block Tor/VPNs because they can suck it 
 No one wants to foot a $20/mo bill for zaps. That's just not smart. At all.  
 Agree. Ditched them too upon news they were sunsetting. 
 I told everyone a long time ago Alby is shit..... 
 You take that back or I will tell everyone that is not.  
 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  
 I member 
 I've had some issues zapping 
 I'm looking for another zap wallet , can't afford the sats, need an NWC one that I can use on mobile and desktop 
 Same 
 Coinos.io ? 
 I've thought about that as an option too. 
 "That’s an interesting perspective! It’s always good to explore different angles. What else have you considered? 🤔✨" 
 WTF 
 I like Alby Cloud a lot, but the price is too much as sats gain value 
 Wife is getting rid of alby for same reasons. 
 I just setup my coinos. Just have to force close my 170,000 sat channel I started with  Alby. Idk how to yet, but I'll find out.
