Great video by @BTCsessions, though slightly dated already.

Thank you @k0gen and Horologger for packaging, and to everyone who side loaded for testing.

 Nice 👍🏼

 Sweet! No more GitHub download and side loading the service? If you have a Start9, don’t have a self-custodial Lightning solution, and you still don’t install @Alby Hub now that’s it’s just a single click, then you’re just plain wrong. 
 When do we get this rumoured next Start 9 release? Weeks? Months? 
 As much as I am looking forward to that release (whenever we may get it) @Alby Hub has made my Start9 node actually usable as a daily driver for me and my family, since everything is done over Nostr Wallet Connect, which is WAY faster and more reliable than connecting through Tor.

I'm still eager for the update in order to be able to manage my node remotely without needing to do so through Tor, but I am no longer relying upon that update for my node to be useful, so I can be patient for it to arrive whenever they are ready to release it. 
 Weeks for sure, but that doesn't mean this month. 
 Sweet. Can't wait to access my node without using TOR. 
 Alby Hub is by far the easiest lightning node setup I've ever done, and makes accessing my node remotely on mobile apps an absolute breeze. Now you can download it directly on the  @Start9 marketplace without having to side-load! Check it out!

 Yesss! That’s my plan for tomorrow. 👌 
 Wow, that was easy. Really intuitive. So now I’ve got my LND linked to Alby Hub which is also connected with my Alby account. Then I connected  nostr:nprofile1qqsdvl5ghyne55mzdj0hzmyhvuv26fzughl7y333r9py6xdnf0uyttq7e6759  so I can zap like there is no Tomorrow 😝

Don’t forget Alby Go. Great stuff. 

Next thing is to play with inboud liquidity. 

Shoutout to  nostr:nprofile1qqsyv47lazt9h6ycp2fsw270khje5egjgsrdkrupjg27u796g7f5k0s8jq7y6  and  nostr:nprofile1qqs9df4h2deu3aae83fmet5xmrlm4w5l9gdnsy3q2n7dklem7ezmwfc6c32nl 
 Small update: I bought incoming channel. This thing is really a Thing!

Oh and of course I did not read any manual not even watched any tutorial. This is that intuitive that even some random guy like me who knows shit can set it up in 15minutes or so.

 The sub account feature is 🤌  
 Boom 💥 let's go. Just zapped using Alby go 👍🏾 
 Hi  @Start9, hi  @Alby,

I sideloaded Alby Hub a few weeks ago on my Server One.
Currently running the latest version of StartOS and Alby Hub 1.8.0.
Is it safe to click Update and transition 1.10.1? Will the currently active channels and all other settings be preserved? Any special caution needed? Thanks! 
 Hi, yes! 

Read more here: https://docs.start9.com/0.3.4.x/user-manual/overview/managing-services#id4



(in case - you can test having backups while doing so ;) ) 
 You can safely click update. 
 🎉 ✨IT'S OFFICIAL✨  🎉
