Oddbean new post about login | logout I have my own lightning node but I also primarily use Alby. Unfortunately they're invite only so I just scrambled to find a solution. My wife is a smart cookie. If she has this much trouble, image the average "normie"...
About Alby invites. I mentioned it the other day to Alby since (imo) the wallet works best with zapstream. They replied and said something like "have you tried Alby 2.0 yet?" but didn't get a follow up answer when I asked them to tell me more. There might be a new version or something out there that doesn't require an invite? But I don't know.
Hey, sorry about that! Let's move to DMs so it doesn't get lost!
I already doouble checked the npub for anti scam 😉
If you have your own node, use LNBITS, you can provide zap wallets for yourself and other users. Works great
Until it doesn't because lnbits kinda sucks... 😂 Partitioning my node scares me.
How does it suck? It just works
It does not just work. I get errors all the time.
Seems like a you problem lol
I don't think so... Anytime I've used lnbits plugins, they break anytime there's a state change to my node. Another plugin added, old ones break, new channels opened, plugins break, reboot node, plugins break, it's just wholly unreliable.
