If you use Alby's simple to use and also custodial wallet, you're going to need to find a new wallet to use with Nostr and zaps.
Alby isn't going away, just their custodial solution is going away. you can use their new Alby Hub offering, but it's going to require either a monthly fee to be hands off or for you to manage all of the liquidity and lightning channels.
if you want another solution that's custodial, but simple, check out coinos.io.

Never heard of this one. Is it better/the same as Wallet of Satoshi?
It’s not better than WoS, but it works. No mobile app yet.
Ah got ya. Good that there are more options at least.
I wonder if WoS will return to the USA when Trump takes office?
They’ve hinted about it on dedbird recently
You mean when Gary Gensler leaves? :)
I use it, I like it. Works well.
Thanks Derek. Don’t understand @Alby makes this move? Regulations? Money? For normies alby will become than fast a no-go. You can pay but you will do this after you got used to all Nostr stuff probably. I like how it all works and than it changes again to dev style tech again 😅 not really #grownostr
I switched to Coinos about a week ago - flawless! NWC, ecash, easy interface, clean UI 👌 👌 👌 👌 👌
Main thing I like Alby for is managing my nsec when on desktop/laptop. Is there something else that can take the place of this?
I think you’ll still be able to manage your nsec with the ext. I think just their custodial wallet is shutting down.
Thanks for the info Derek. Been looking for a replacement for Alby. Odell mentioned Coinos on a recent @CITADELDISPATCH with calle in relation to cashu mints so going to have a look at them for my zap needs also. 🤟

Bella Luna? They accept bitcoin now?
Yes and I guess yes, this was in March
Ah last time I went there was last November and they didn’t accept bitcoin back then
I am testing out Coinos but can't seem to send sats back out. I sent some from Strike to Coinos but can't send back out toy Strike or Alby wallet. Keeps complaining about not finding a route or needing to increase the upper bound on routing fees. I tried all the way to 100 sat fee on 900 sat payment and still didn't work. Any ideas?
Why is Alby stopping custodial?
