Oddbean new post about login | logout Best way to use Nostr is via AlbyHub. You can pay for their hosting or install it on your own server. Either way, it's self custodial. It's your keys. nostr:nevent1qqsgcpkcl8da0jy99jl4s6uyddh9wts04gqjva5vzwetkwp2pfg8fzgppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qgsg8lg8m6dhvve5ejw5dunctsj43ekza2l705xxass5ve7t4mzs63crqsqqqqqpgv26k9
Very true. For a while I was making do with Mutiny zaps and a separate address to receive. I discovered Alby Hub yesterday. It's especially convenient if you're like me and use nostr primarily on mobile. Just connect your mobile client through the dedicated, user friendly NWC app.
How does the thing work? What about VPNs, Tor and LN addresses when I am self-hosting it inside a private network without opening anything to the public?
Ok this: https://guides.getalby.com/user-guide/v/alby-account-and-browser-extension/alby-hub/faq-alby-hub/why-do-i-need-to-link-my-alby-account should clear pretty much all doubts, the Alby Account is the middle man to make everything which is public work, so they basically see all that is related to the getalby LN address if you link the node with the Alby account. I mean, it makes sense.
yep, albyhub is not about privacy, but self-custody. You are still trusting Alby + LSP provider with your transaction data/zaps.
