Oddbean new post about login | logout This @Alby is some bullshit. All my sats just went pof, cant log into hub, cant restore hub, cant do nothing. 400usd I had there. If you want this wallet to restore or whatever the fuck. You can have it for fucking free, I’m done with this shit. Lightning up my fucking ass is what it is. Hit me up and I’ll give you the seed phrase and backup file from the node. I’m too stupid to do shit with this and I am not wasting any more time with this. Way to go, make an application that makes me feel so fucking stupid that I’m just giving away hundreds of dollars just to be rid of it. #alby #asknostr #freesats4u #btc #lightning
Is this on a personal server or Alby hosting?
Can't host alby (except the browser extension maybe) on a personal server without an alby account and a bunch of their infrastructure unfortunately.
Alby seems to be having some issues today. I logged in to my custodial wallet in zeus a few minutes ago and it showed over 25 million sats balance. I assure you a quarter coin is not "pocket change to leave in a custodial wallet" by my standard.
Hey, did you take a screenshot of that bug? Are you sure it's on us, not Zeus? DM us your Alby Account e-mail, we might check what happened there. Happy to troubleshoot, thanks for reporting!
Didn't catch a screenshot. Not sure if it was you or Zeus, LN multiple wallets in Zeus and I've never seen it before. I'll look closer if I see it again.
I haven't used Alby Hub yet, but have it in my list to play around with soon. I don't mind trying to recover your sats. I've done this for several people over the past couple of years. That said, hey nostr:nprofile1qqs2hr9cpe0y9fwytl8s5mpf0e6ckyf6sld22q5tzzezhzkl2w2a2qspr3mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmqpzdmhxue69uhhqctfvshxummnw3ezumrrqy28wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hst7z7ul or nostr:nprofile1qqsrxra3gv0lnkxz2pcxh0xuq9k4f9dr7azwq3aypqtnay4w0mjzmtqpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqzrthwden5te0dehhxtnvdakqz8thwden5te0dehhxarj94c82c3wwajkcmr0wfjx2u3wdejhghqs4nu can we maybe help this guy out and figure out what's going on?

As you know if somebody wants help we’re there. if somebody just wants to complain and scream then there is not much we can do I guess. Alby Hub is beta, but I promise you you can unlock the hub and if issues are found we’re quick in fixing it. We also love any feedback to make this better.
@Alby is garbage, and so is anything custodial/third party hosted Lightning Network is to complex and fragile to set up and run for the average user Besides, why does @Alby require an invite code to join their data honey pot? Isn’t #bitcoin supposed to be open to everyone? Not if you’re a corporation trying to mine data for the government, I guess Anything centralized is a dead end in terms of freedom tools, including lightning network
Those are some mean words. But we partly agree with you in a message you attempted to convey: sovereignty is important. That is exactly why we build the Self-custodial wallet Alby Hub, it's been launched recently, and as all new products, we expected an increase in support requests. I have not received Peter's case yet to our support@getalby.com email (for privacy we prefer to resolve the cases privately). Our new self-custodial wallet can be mounted in our Alby Cloud and get a subscription from us. Or you can mount it by yourself in various devices since it is all open source. We even build the guides for you to setup and self-host your Alby Hub self-custodial wallet. Here is a link to get started for anyone interested: https://guides.getalby.com/user-guide/v/alby-account-and-browser-extension/alby-hub/getting-started -JP
How is it mean to say that @Alby is a centralized service? Where does the @Alby software run from? A centralized server Also, how is @Alby existing, more important than educating people to stay away from centralized data honey pots like @Alby ? Anything centralized and having controlled access (invite links, email capture etc) is against the principle of #bitcoin being open to anyone, anywhere, anytime, with no questions asked
We build on open protocols. You could always use Alby Extension without Alby Account (so email, etc) and with us not knowing anything about you. The same will be soon possible with Alby Hub. We literally just release open source, self-custodial wallet. You can fork it today and get rid of Alby Accounts if you want, instead of complaining
Yet people wonder why a normie like me would be so confused about all the technology. Not sorry. 🤣
We actually build this problem both for advanced but also non-tech non-advanced users. If you want to test it out, you can schedule a live onboarding session at this link: https://guides.getalby.com/user-guide/v/alby-account-and-browser-extension/alby-hub/getting-started We would love to hear your feedback as well Best, JP

Yea custodian LN is a mess
This user was having issues with our self-custodial product, check more about it here: https://guides.getalby.com/user-guide/v/alby-account-and-browser-extension/alby-hub/introduction -JP
Hi Peter. I'm sorry you are encountering some issues with our new product, the self-custodial wallet. We made it so that users can recover sovereignty over their funds and choose their own usage limits. Are you having issues with a self-hosted Alby Hub? or with Alby Hub on Alby Cloud? If it is self-hosted, what type of mount did you use? Send us an email to support@getalby.com mentioning the email you used to create your Alby Account. Also feel free to explain what are the steps you have taken before having the issue, you can also attach screenshots if they are relevant to your problem. Alby users with problems can contact us through various channels, - the support email support@getalby.com - the live-support chat integrated inside the self-hosted wallet - the feedback forum https://feedback.getalby.com/ - of course, we regularly proactively check any issues on social networks, like I found yours. This is all to say we do want to take a look at your issue, we are easy to reach, and I'll be waiting for your email at support@getalby.com Best, Jean-Paul
