Hey, the extension needs to read websites to discover lightning tags, lnurl links, decrypt nostr data etc.

But it is completely client-based, meaning evderything stays on your local machine, including (or: especially) your private keys.

We (nor any website you visit) don't know what you are doing with the extension 🤍


Can you guess this phone model?  👇

If there wouldn't be budgets, you'd have to click and click and click ;)


Swap service is temporarily off, you can always add funds via lightning :)


Naahhh, set up your own!


What is Alby Zapper?


Hey Newton!

Happy to help you and troubleshoot, where is the problem.
Would you like to jump on a videocall?

-----------
First, please make sure that when you go to your extension "Account settings" you see that there is Master and/or Nostr Key in Key Management.

https://m.primal.net/HTdi.png4

You can screenshot your window, it shouldn't contain private data.

let us know!


Hey nostr:npub1zdvj0favucg4y4aer9njge5hu3a2rkgtktat0r0scvx8jpqrgn2ss2f5ng, seems like you are using your own LND node with the Alby Account. Can you check your connection?

Thanks, we'll take a look! Let us know if you know more examples, will be helpful!


Sorry Nathan, that was us! Just on another npub ;)


Hey, thanks for the info! Some more specific would be helpful so we could troubleshoot... is it a zap, or also regular transaction to that LN? Or NWC in a client?

For what users it doesn't? Thank you


Hey, what's wrong there? Is sender or receiver with Alby? What's the set up there (Amethyst + NWC)?

Let's fix it!


We had swap service, but temporarily it is disabled. There is few places on the web where you can 'swap' and send bitcoin onchain but receive in Alby lightning 😉Boltz, Robosats...


📱 iPhone + Damus users here? 📱

Can't zap notes?

There is a solution: your '🤙' reaction can be zaps! ⚡

Tap reaction and send whatever sats to its author!

====ZAP ON DAMUS====

Use nostr:npub1wxl6njlcgygduct7jkgzrvyvd9fylj4pqvll6p32h59wyetm5fxqjchcan with nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm and emoji around Apple bans!

Yes we are! Do you enjoy using Alby?


‚#Alby is a #Bitcoin, #Lightning and #Nostr browser extension that connects to different wallet interfaces and personal nodes.

It let's users manage their payments and authentication flows on the web.‘

https://www.nobsbitcoin.com/alby-extension-v3-4-1/


Hey Nathan,
Do you still notice something unstable?


Wow!
 nostr:npub1jfujw6llhq7wuvu5detycdsq5v5yqf56sgrdq8wlgrryx2a2p09svwm0gx [eng: Stacker News] have released s̶u̶b̶r̶e̶d̶d̶i̶t̶s TERRITORIES!

🌐🗺🌐🗺🌐🗺🌐🗺🌐🗺

One of the most technologically advanced discussion boards in the internet #StackerNews goes along now with long awaited feature. With Alby extension you can use it easier than ever.

If you're passionate about a particular topic or community, creating a territory will be a great #lightning way to engage with like-minded individuals.

Are you guys going to create some ~territory? Let's break new grounds! 🚀

https://m.primal.net/HSis.png


So far our extension is available on Chromium and Firefox based browsers that enable extensions, like Opera, Brave, Edge, Arc, Chrome, Vivaldi, Arc, Firefox...!

Try and let us know 😉

https://m.primal.net/HSir.png


Sorry!
Let's try resetting the permissions, logging you out and in to clients.

- Make sure you have proper acocunt chosen in the extension and your Nostr keys are saved
- Visit both pages
- Log out from both
- While on one client, go to the extension and choose "disconnect"
https://m.primal.net/HSim.png
- Repeat on second
- Log in to these clients again

Let us know if that works!


Hey, why did you give up on us!?


Bitcoiners love how easy it is to navigate with Alby!

nostr:note13fptx67uulrre8v8kwnhwxpeg7mc03fkywkr0qvu362f6lh77w2s262ysl


If you dig deep enough you might find some clues... ;)


We are honeycomb!


The Alby name came from LBE, which stands for Lightning Browser Extension. So yes, it has a lot to do with bitcoin


WoS has been dethroned https://image.nostr.build/8798730fac7b6fe8bebfa9e573f337587de82ff18ee7ebdffb7ce28148f78d0e.jpg


Hey, let us know if you can't figure!

Btw, Damus only lets to zap profile (Apple requirement)


get Alby!


Hello sir,
As for now you need to manually request it to support[at]getalby.com, but soon we should add automatic option within the account.

Why would you leave?


That would require a huuge zap!


Let us know if you get it to work!


Hey, does the extension work for you on Android? On kiwi browser?


Do you know #SatsBack? ;)

## Chef's notes

👩🍳 Dear Honeys

We're thrilled to share this bee-kissed recipe with you! These cookies are not just treats; they're tiny, edible pieces of holiday joy... like bitcoins. Each cookie is unique and holds its value in every bit.
Whether you're baking for family, friends, or just treating yourself, remember that each cookie is a canvas for your creativity. Enjoy the sweet aromas filling your kitchen and the smiles these cookies will bring.

Happy Baking and Happy Holidays! 🎉🎁

## Details

- ⏲ Prep time: 80
- 🍳 Cook time: 10
- 🍽 Servings: 6

## Ingredients

- 1 cup honey 🍯
- 3/4 cup brown sugar 🧂
- 1 large egg 🥚
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice 🍋
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour 🌾
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- Pinch of salt 🧂
- Powdered sugar for buzz ❄

## Directions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the honey from friendly honeybees and brown sugar. Beat in the egg and lemon juice until well blended.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, nutmeg, and salt.
4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour.
5. Chill the Dough: Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
6. Roll Out Dough: On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness
7.  Cut Out Cookies: Use hexagon-shaped cookie cutters to cut out shapes and place them on the prepared baking sheets to look like a honeycomb
8. Bake: Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are just starting to brown.
9. Cool and Decorate: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar to add some buzz.
10. Enjoy your honey-infused Alby Christmas cookies with a warm cup of tea or coffee!

Alby Christmas Cookies are a festive treat, combining the sweetness of honey and brown sugar with the warm flavors of cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. Simple and quick recipe!


Might be hard to find good time solution for all of us and the proper team member... our cal.com/getalby might be helpful, once we schedule we could do Nests, why not (is there screensharing?)

Are you good with joining our Community Call on December 14?
That's when we discuss bugs, brainstorm solutions, demo projects etc. and our team is called up


Our extension is client-based, we don't know basically nothing you do with it.

It's also open-source. The code of each release can be verifed (and contributed to) here: https://github.com/getAlby/lightning-browser-extension/


I wish Alby would ______.


Hey, it should use that Nostr profile that is sotred by active wlalet in Alby. The one you have chosen as main.

Could you maybe describe your issue again? Happy to help!


Hey guys nostr:npub1yx6pjypd4r7qh2gysjhvjd9l2km6hnm4amdnjyjw3467fy05rf0qfp7kza nostr:npub13cnlldwfhwxd6qf34hnwlfya2m2qrd2zfk0alxnrup6d2fasw9wqxwkzpe nostr:npub10us6l7kvn340s2mw4jhluj0jlpt3zthnqftk8xewy80d64lpj96qa7xew6 would you like to get on a call to troubleshoot? Let's all make sure no future users make mistakes with such consequences!


When you use our extension for Nostr, you make sure that your nsec is not sent anywhere to the web. It is locally stored and locally signs certain Nostr events, so neither clients nor Alby team can know what is your key.


Can you connect nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm to your own Lightning node to enjoy a completely non-custodial and sovereign experience?

Yes, of course! Learn more about how Alby works by listening to nostr:npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x on S14 E14 of the Bitcoin Takeover podcast!

Ayy, can you provide more context to the story? We hope no more such things happen!


Hey, what happened? Sad to hear about loss... Be careful with granting NWC permissions to sites!


nostr:note14xq9gqwgckdca3mjf3cshdwwuqfyfxu8fjywrtg2rtuvjrhwzpwstyndxa

FACTOS.


Hey Justin!

If you put yout LN address in your Nostr profile, you make it public, and it's very easy for satvertisers to find such and recognize that there is a person who will possibly read the message 😉

Hey, you might have generated Master Key and it would generate new keys. But it wouldn't delete your old one!

Hey there!

Alby provides Alby Account - coming with custodial lightning wallet and getalby.com LN address, and we manage channels for you etc.

We also build Alby Extension - which is open-source tool to use your wallets in the browser. You can connect your own node (LND o other), you can also connect Alby Account to the extension.
The same extension also can store your Nostr keys and help you use it on desktop.

Unfortunately we don't have Nostr solution for mobile yet - except for NWC, which enables #onetapzaps


One day... ;)


Hey, can you please message us on support[at]getalby.com ? When did you create that profile in the extension?
We will troubleshoot and fix for you. 😉


Alby Extension is the gateway to using #bitcoin in web.

It's rather BECAUSE you have your LN addrress published! Those services search for public active addresses and send satvertising there.

it has nothing to do with Alby or NIP-05 😉


Hi, Ahmed!

Don't withdraw all at once, our system prevents it. Leave there minimum 1% or 10 sats and repeat if needed.

Message us at support@getalby.com if this is a significant amount and/or you encounter some errors.

Hope you move it to self-custody ;)


Zeus, hit us up with a thunder if you need proper icons!


Thank you for beeing with us 🐝 😊

Keep ideas coming!


Hey, you should be able to see it at the extension front screen if connected to your Alby Account.

You can also see it at https://getalby.com/node

Did you find it?

Hey, hope your computer does not die!

In any case, remember

- Alby Account with custodial lightning wallet is registered and recovered with your e-mail address

- We do not see your data or node connections in the extension, where your Nostr keys are stored. Please keep backup of them, as we can't recover these.


Works!

Our OG bee nostr:npub1e5tfhk8m65teu25dfx8lcvwn4c8ypqjl72u2sh4rt8zy2kss0j5qct7mh9 who was a guest of #ConnectTheWorld podcast! 🎙🎙🎙

He discusses integrating Bitcoin lightning payment systems into vending machines, focusing on the technical and business challenges involved.

Guys have a sweet conversation about the importance of interoperability and user-friendliness in lightning network apps and wallets.

👍 Really nice listen!

Hey, can you try saving permission on a popup?


Who know who comes to our GitHub and makes a PR!?


strange question, but... do you have FAVORITE HASHTAG?


Already tired with #satvertising messages?

You can always change notification settings at getlaby.com and filter transactions wehn using #Zeus!

Don't sell your attention cheaply! ;)

nostr:note1h9q5kzjrykwn0gpdkejtwjvwpvpv52ntu77lcy2h85cnxlp0xrkq5g2679


Let us know - does something not work?


NWC is healthy! ;)


Hey, Are you using Desktop with the extension or Primal mobile?

Maybe you have set a budget before and hit the limit?
Or sometimes Nostr doesn't provide real-time updates on zaps, check your relay settings


Whats up Joel?


Hey Francesco!

For logging in and signing events - If you want to use the extension in mobile, it's not possible.... yet! We are working on an extension to Firefox mobile.

For receiving zaps - yes, you should be able to set up your LN address in most mobile client

For sending zaps - depends on the client! Many already support #NWC ( nostr:npub142gywvjkq0dv6nupggyn2euhx4nduwc7yz5f24ah9rpmunr2s39se3xrj0, nostr:npub1gp4xzpmluelsakjtayc4wtzj97fhj5kakqjvsannu00xkdlf4x8s0xdqyq) and you can connect your Alby Account to enjoy your wallet on nostr!

let us know if that answers


We encourage users to go non-custodial whenever possible! However, Alby Account might be the most comfortable option


Maybe... but would be nice to have simple explanation about nostr general in places (clients?)


Who are they? They might know the 4th unemplyed one!


Good point, maybe onboarding within clients is the best guidance?


Hey, check out NIP-05 and LN address of nostr:npub1q5sah9f3p9kl7uqdeaqskqwmg74ktxx70e0093dzh4lpzcp3t0mqzxky65. It's also an e-mai address you can send your resume to.

Thanks for your interest!


Hmmm, MS Excel proficiency is needed, too! ;)


What's the best Nostr guide out there?

Something to share with newbies?!

Nice! Who are they?


Damn it, nostr:npub1zach44xjpc4yyhx6pgse2cj2pf98838kja03dv2e8ly8lfr094vqvm5dy5 really killed it with Flockstr. I've been playing with website - great execution and UX to replace Meetup.

Makes me think how many devs we'll see migrate from developing on "blockchain" to developing on Nostr in near term.

https://m.primal.net/HQja.png

Check out this meetup with Alby's Ronald and nostr:npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x as illustration:

https://flockstr.com/event/naddr1qqyrvvr9x3sn2dfnqgsptdw0dn05l5wq9u5tens0r972ltjv337xdglzuga0nlnppp6nzhsrqsqqql9nzpeqyt

All you need is to login with your npub into Flockstr - once you zap to signup for event - that becomes available to your whole social graph on Nostr apps. Insanely cool!


🛒 Did you think implementing #Bitcoin payments in online stores is difficult? Maybe it was... 5 years ago!

Now, with tools like nostr:npub1n0delesspp5qyp9sd6d4fql9g3s96k7g4yyvfmpdncpp542wvxzqksp427 and nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm, it is effortlessly simple!

There are plugins for #WooCommerce and #PrestaShop that can easily set most of the websites up.

Whether an online store, charity or fundraiser, one doesn't have to handle all the complexities of managing a lightning node. Just receive payments sent directly to yourpersonal@getalby.com lightning address  ⚡

Ready to integrate your (or your friends') online shop with lightning network? 👌

Just wait for the next update! ;)


Which internet browsers work with the Alby (@getAlby) payments extension?

According to project creator Michael Bumann (nostr:npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x), every browser that’s built from Chromium and Firefox should work. Unfortunately, Safari is not supported.

How about Alby extension? 🧩 Would you use it?

Those services usually take LN addresses from public Nostr profiles, seems like they didn't figure your Alby address.... yet ;)

 You can always sign up (with your alby or other) to start receiving #satvertising

Hey guys!

You can use Alby extension to use Nostr - you need to paste there your nsec (do not send it over the internet!), and then Primal on desktop works very smoothly.

You still can use another LN wallet for your Nostr!

Let us know if something is still not clear. Are you on mobile?


Thank you! Yes, you can have your nostr keys derived from Master (derived from seed), or paste your nsec manually


Hey, you can go to Nostr settings in your extension, and paste your nsec there.

Then you can enjoy using Nostr in your browser without sending your key anywhere!

let us know if you have more questions


Thank you for that conversation guys!

Would you improve something in this flow?

Start using Zeus this week with my Alby wallet. Really great experience so far


Hey nostr:npub1aeex27mygl2ca7j4hnxl85ce2hhu8gg5au557d5ykd6tjsdfa5ssfj63av!

Your lightning wallet and nostr identity are two separate things... that can be managed by one Alby extension 😉

If you move to another browser or computer, you need to take your keys with you and move it there - we don't store nor we do recover your nostr keys (we do take care of your custodial Alby Account, however).

So - take the nsec (not npub - this one is derived from nsec anyway) you use from one extension profile, copy it and paste in Nostr settings on another device. It will calculate and fill the npub field for you, and from now on you can use Nostr clients with our extension.

Please use your nsec safely.
Let us know if more support is needed


Maybe you just hit your budget limit? Let us know what exactly doesn't work!


Is there a platform for publishing paywalled content with zap split on Nostr?
Does nostr:npub1yzvxlwp7wawed5vgefwfmugvumtp8c8t0etk3g8sky4n0ndvyxesnxrf8q support this model?


Hey, let us know how can we help!


Good points, thank you guys for that exchange!

We'll try to make it more clear where are those settings and see if connection can be edited.

Let us know nostr:npub19yrexdwzvm5fjkum3vrpxqtl32qck2jjvq8drxldy69c9axsyhwqjae69u if resetting the NWC connection worked for you and if you can zap as you wish now.

Hey, with mobile you can try using Spring browser to handle nsec for you when using Primal


⏰ Small reminder, that if you have a question to Alby - about simple problem you face, your new project, partnership, building on lightning or nostr - anything...

... you can use Alby Open Hours to schedule a 1:1 call with us!

https://cal.com/getalby


No, that shouldn't be a problem! Why can't you zap, on what client?


Yes, we had to limit some redundant api calls. But transactions work properly for you, right?


You can check on our github, we are open-sourcing almost every code that we use.

Yes, to use lightning in a non-custodial way you need to run your own node - there are few solutions that make it easier for a new user, but this is not super convenient for most.

You can use our open-source extension to connect to lightning node of any type, and its custody is up to you 😉


Hey Monica, let us know if you need some help setting it up.

You should add your nsec to the extension and then use it to log in various clients. That's how you use nostr with us.

Your lightning address is another thing, but closely related. You can set up you LN address in nostr profile to receive zaps, and also you can use Alby to pay for zaps that you are sending.


Looks like it logged in (grant permissions) successfully. What's next?


Set daily budget in your app permissions!


Get Alby!


Sometimes it goes forgotten, but lightning keysend payments are well integrated within the RSS protocol!

If you still listen to podcasts without Podcasting 2.0 features, you are so 2015...!

nostr:note17w4lyxedlpjdrkzxqdfqz6t6pkag4w6atyjqhdkcqfsqwvvxq4aqr40qzt


We understand that lightning might be confusing and we need better naming and onboarding.

So in basic: providing you an Alby Account, we run and manage a (shared) node for you, giving you access to your wallet and a LNURL, which corresponds directly to you LN address (eg. narwhaltacos@getalby.com, which you can customize.

You can control this account, send and receive sats with some wallet interface - it could be our browser extension (for desktop), Zeus wallet or Blue wallet (mobile).

Let us know if that answers your question and what is the setup that you are working on.

We are currently running betatests for Alby mobile and for using your wallet on a website. Would you like to try it out?


Did someone find out?


Thank you, waiting for your feedback! Let us know if you need any help 😉


We have notified those users that are affected - unfortunately we have to limit deposits from new users for a short time being.
Hopefully, a very short!


It depends on the client that you are using.
Please test few and choose the best fit for you

There is Coracle.social, Snort.social, Nostrudel.ninja.... Zaps should work!

Can you please describe what you need, nostr:npub1yfmcm63zgnzj9jnafvtnlrz0rjhv7me54suuj83p9rqg78jc687sle794q?


We are mostly open-source, sir!

Our browser extension holds your Nostr keys... but we don't!
Nsec in the Alby extension is used to sign nostr events locally, and it never leaves the machine - is not sent to any nostr clients, neither to us!

Ie: We don't hold your nostr keys, your browser does, secured with our open-source extension

https://github.com/getAlby/lightning-browser-extension

As per custodial Alby Account, that we also provide: We also don't necessarily like having some sats of yours - we encourage users to go non-custodial and stay FOSS!

Also remember, that our extension can be connected to any lightning node, not only your Alby Account - then you can be both open-source and non-custodial 😃

And for lots of convenience, Alby is a great tool.


Podcasts use <podcast:value> tag within RSS to send keysend payments to nodes 😉
https://blog.getalby.com/bitcoin-payments-for-podcasters-with-alby/


Actually with our extension it's super easy to switch profiles!
Each of the accounts can store another pair of Nostr keys - and you can switch between them in two clicks.

On some clients work like a charm (without relogging)!


Don't be afrait to ask! Where zaps do not work for you?

Fabiano, could you try another swap service (like #Boltz
or #Robosats) to send your sats to lightning?

We currently had to pause onchain to lightning swaps on our site, but this service should be back soon!

Let us know if you need support


Did you have problems with our extension?


Bzzzzzzz!

We're experiencing exceptionally high number of signups, and there might be some interruptions for new users.
Sorry for that, we're working on it!

Happy Whitepaper Day!

Yes
You can have various profiles in the extension. They can be connected to various wallets, or all to the same one (ie. Alby account).

And in each you can store different nsec (or same one).

So, nostr:npub1k3q6t8wrxxflj820z6fpx5tfz7wya630hs7vjz9u4arzq55tkcuqa9lg55 - go to "Add account" in your extension and then connect it to either your @getalby.com Account, or to your node. Can be the same as your current one as well. And under this new account/profile you can paste another nsec. Thus you might have mutliple accounts.


Looks like the problem is on #kiwi side


Hey, let us know if you had some problems with Alby - we're here to help 😉


So far none that we know of.

#KiwiBrowser has extensions and used to work with ours... maybe Firefox Mobile one day...!

What, why, how?


Our guess is you must like coffee


Hey, indeed - today your extension needs to be connected to some wallet to operate and use Nostr keys.

We recommend creating an getalby.com account (you can use your secondary e-mail) and connecting the extension to it. It might get super useful when you want to zap someone or use lightning apps on the web.

Then you can put your nsec into the extension (it stays on your machine, nor we nor clients can see it) and use Nostr seamlessly!

(Even more, we recommend connecting to self-custodial wallet/node, if possible)

Thank you for your feedback, maybe it will change in the future and get separated 😉

Don't hesitate to ask/comment anytime!


Nostr is quite quiet about #PlanBLugano, but we'll give it a shout-out!

Alby was present on stage with Lightning Masterclass by nostr:npub1q5sah9f3p9kl7uqdeaqskqwmg74ktxx70e0093dzh4lpzcp3t0mqzxky65, culture panel with nostr:npub14wxtsrj7g2jugh70pfkzjln43vgn4p7655pgky9j9w9d75u465pqvagcye and as a patron of nostr:npub1rjtrs7xqdvj3588r9njrexh2n750j7jdwx9qs543nutmdsj6ljaqpfmp8a!

Hey, to connect your wallet to ZapplePay, you need to use NostrWalletConnect!

It is currently supported by Alby, Mutiny and Umbrel, if not more - we encourage other teams to also use this protocol.

To have your wallet at Alby, yes - you need to provide an e-mail address currently.

It doesn't need to be your personal address, but remember that we use it to communicate with users, authenticate and sometimes recover. But Nostr is a good suggestion 😉

To connect Alby to ZapplePay/Damus, you can follow this guide

https://yeghro.site/2023/07/07/apple-got-zappled/

Hey, can you please dm us the details (what's your email address, have you confirmed first one) in here or at support@getalby.com?

Hi Mateusz, kannst du einen Screenshot der Fehlermeldung direkt an support@ getalby. com schicken? Dann schauen wir uns das sofort an.


Did you enable notifications when you receive at least 10k sats in your account on getalby.com and was that setting saved? Have a look if the toggle for payments and messages is disabled though.


If we can help with anything related to the Alby browser extension or #1tapzap let us know per DM or directly to support@ getalby. com. Happy to help anytime.

We guess you are talking about getalby.com web account - where you can get your @getalby.com LN address and a wallet.

But for Nostr log-ins and use, you should use the Alby Browser Extension (for Chrome, Brave, Firefox). You paste your nsec there.

The Browser Extension can be connected to the Alby Account or other lightning wallet, it doesn't require log-ins.
Let us know if you need more guidance 😉

Hey, what would make you keen on using Alby?


Let us know if you neeed some support!


Lucky Luke!


That's a good point!

Our extension was initially an interface to wallets - we've added Nostr features few months ago.

As for now, to use only nostr signing, you can either start easily your LNbits instance or... use temporary e-mail to sign up for the account


Hey Jingles,

Would you like to join our Community Call maybe? We could discuss your new venture and would be happy to see demo of w3.do, how you built it, how is it being used...

Good luck!


Ah, I see!

You can't simply 'send' BTC from on-chain to lightning network.

The easiest solution is to use swap service/exchange, like Deezy or nostr:npub1psm37hke2pmxzdzraqe3cjmqs28dv77da74pdx8mtn5a0vegtlas9q8970. Small fees always apply.

We have it built in Alby (deposits from on-chain), you need to click 'Receive', then 'Bitcoin address' and use this address to send from Blue Wallet. After short time, sats should appear in your account (on the lightning network).

Let us know if it's clear now!

EXCUSE ME SIR, WE ARE A BEE


If you enter 'manage extension' in your browser, you should be able to see the current version, but good point - we might add that info to the extension itself.

Your browser should update it automatically. You can try installing it manually from our github as well.

We will revamp UI interface as well, soon 😉

Hey, thanks for the feedback!

This solution ensures a good UX for the different use cases that the Alby extension enables.

We haved covered them here:
https://guides.getalby.com/alby-guides/alby-browser-extension/faqs/what-permission-does-the-extension-require

Please note, that in most cases you can either send your data (authorization tokens, private keys) to various web apps or use a local tool (like the Alby Extension) which manages authentication for you, provides a known UX, and is open-source.

+ We are working on a solution, that does many things that Alby extension enables, but... doesn't require the extension ;)


Hey, can you tell us what's so invasive? So we stop to bee


Hey, Alby here!

Our wallet service is custodial, you can sign up, log in and eventually recover it with your e-mail.

Our browser extension is a tool run on your local machine to manage multiple wallets (including Alby one or your own node) and, among others, store your Nostr keys.

Within the extension, users can generate their Master Key, which can be used for various purposes: deriving their Nostr keys, log in to sites with LNURL-Auth, recover those - and few other features in the future (onchain withdrawals and more).

Your Master Key doesn't recover your Alby Account.

Please note, that you can generate them locally, in the extension - not on any website (check your address bar)!

Let us know, if that clarifies 😉
Best!


You need to add your LN address in your Nostr profile settings, on most of clients!

And if you don't have one... register and get personal LN address at getalby.com


Zap zap!


Alby Developer Portal Launched

Alby launched a new community hub to aid Bitcoin, Lightning Network, and Nostr app development.

https://www.nobsbitcoin.com/alby-developer-portal-launched/


How would you suggest to do it better?


Gm Nostr!

We are working on the new DISCOVER Page for our users.

It presents a collection of lightning apps in the web that you can use with Alby, similar to the one already available at >Discover tab in our extension... but better 😉

💡 What are we missing?
💡 What bitcoin-powered project should we include there?

Check out our draft and let us know in comments! 👉https://getalby.com/discover

https://m.primal.net/HLcH.png


It works on getalby.com, just remember to put there your e-mail address (not lightning address) and to confirm it.

Do you get some warning window when trying to change?


Friendly reminder:

You can securely store your Nostr keys within the Alby Browser Extension... and it never leaves your machine! 🔒

🟪 This is the easiest and safest way to use desktop Nostr clients!

All your notes and other stuff are locally signed, so your nsec doesn't go to any web servers - whether ours, clients or anyone else.

Unfortunately, still not very popular and worth reminding! The more tools, the better :)


Hey, can you please tell us more about your problem?


🛒 Did you think implementing #Bitcoin payments in online stores is difficult? Maybe it was... 5 years ago!

Now, with tools like nostr:npub1n0delesspp5qyp9sd6d4fql9g3s96k7g4yyvfmpdncpp542wvxzqksp427 and nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm, it is effortlessly simple!

There are plugins for #WooCommerce and #PrestaShop that can easily set most of the websites up.

Whether an online store, charity or fundraiser, one doesn't have to handle all the complexities of managing a lightning node. Just receive payments sent directly to yourpersonal@getalby.com lightning address  ⚡

Ready to integrate your (or your friends') online shop with lightning network? 👌

Hey guys!

Belgian Bitcoiner, you need to note, that extesion might store your nsec, one per profile. You need to paste your nsec there (not npub), and it stayd on your machine, never goes to any server so the extension could sign nostr events for you.

Npub is calculated from Nsec, you don't need to change it.

At the web account however, at getalby.com you can set your NIP-05 verification - there you should use your npub.

You can create as many extension profiles as you wish, and store your nsec one per each, to log in to various accounts on Nostr with our extension.

Let us know if that clarifies!


You can use this to convert neween decimal and hex coding of your key: https://nostrtool.com/

But better not to paste it nowhere! And our extension should generate you the one that starts with nsec (public:npub)- is that how it loks?


Bees are very productive 🐝


#nostrdesign 🤭


A or B? 🤔

https://m.primal.net/HLTG.png


Hey Nostr!

Advice us:
What is the best paid relay service out there, that you can pay with #Lightning?

And what is the best that still doesn't use LN? We hope there is none! ;)


Thank you for feedback!


Our UX Bee is asking for your feedback:

nostr:note1cg259c2dlaqfmsya8qhnl56v0xe6tvm9pn46pu08c0lqwgck265qmgn6zy


Depends on your needs, try and decide yourself! 😉


You need to paste your nsec profile into the extension, so the extension could sign nostr events (log in, post) on web clients for you.

Npub is being derived from nsec.

Let us know if it works now!


Our custodial wallet service require an e-mail to log you in to the dashboard and recover your access.

However, our extension is open-source and doesn't require any e-mail or data to use Nostr with it. Also, your nsec private ey stays on your machine, Alby doesn't see your actions.


**Enabling the age old voluntary value exchange model in the age of bitcoin**

🎤 Made popular by Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak with their [No Agenda Show ](https://www.noagendashow.net/?ref=blog.getalby.com)podcast that has been running since 2007, the Value 4 Value model has been around for centuries. Its most popular age-old example is busking. A performer does their thing in a public square or a farmers’ market, the audience enjoys the performance and if they enjoy a little too much they are more than welcome to do a quick shimmy. And when the show is over, the audience puts in the performer’s open box what they felt their impromptu jig was worth. The busker seeks not your patronage, but a direct payment for what you thought their effort deserved. No middleman, straight to the performer, whatever value each audience member felt they wanted to voluntarily offer.

🌐 In the modern world, where performers of all kinds - writers, musicians, artists, podcasters et al - can distribute their work with the click of a button from their home/studio, the lifecycle of revenue generation through licensing, paywall, and various other [Digital Rights Management (DRM)](https://www.fortinet.com/resources/cyberglossary/digital-rights-management-drm?ref=blog.getalby.com#) methods is immortal. But as brilliant as the never-ending ability to generate revenue sounds, the problem with digital content is that it can be reproduced ad infinitum with neither the creator getting to know about it, (and worse) nor do they earn any revenues if the reproduced content is generating any.

📜 Unlike a physical good whose duplication has real costs, a digital good is perfectly copy-able. And if it is a piece of work that has found appreciation from people, it will be copied. And shared widely. Unfortunately though, putting a blind eye to this are the various modern-day publications that have gone on to build [walled gardens of paywalled content](https://medium.com/@universityboy/the-return-of-walled-gardens-on-paywalls-the-public-and-the-publishers-282e08e54669?ref=blog.getalby.com). Echoing [Gigi](https://dergigi.com/2021/12/30/the-freedom-of-value/?ref=blog.getalby.com): “The paradox of Digital Rights Management is this: content will only stay behind a paywall if it is shitty. If it's good, someone will set it free.” Thus, a way to solve the dilemma of seeing people reproduce your work repeatedly while you try to paywall it to earn a living is to let it fly free. Confused? Allow me to explain some more.

****What is the Value 4 Value Model?****

💡 As described above, any online info that is non-scarce, easily reproduced, and effortlessly liberated requires a voluntary model. Some describe it as a type of donation, Pay-What-You-Want (PWYW) or crowdfunding, and we like to call it Value 4 Value. One way the Value 4 Value model stands out from the conventional methods of raising funds is the flippening of the two steps of payment and enjoyment of the content. In most mainstream transaction initiatives, the payment takes place before the work is consumed or even produced. Examples: your local commute, McDonald’s burger, or WSJ subscription. In a Value 4 Value (V4V) model, however, the creator receives value after the “customer” enjoys the content. The creator generates value through their content and in return, the customers decide to pay with something of value without the involvement of a third party, voluntarily. P2P. V4V.

👏 What V4V also does is it makes the creator focus on customer delight and not on clickbaity headlines or those wide-open mouth thumbnails that have plagued YouTube. Unlike the sponsorship infested content that is served to you by echo-chamber prison enabling algorithms, if the customer likes the work you produce, they are likely to come back for more knowing full well that it is their contribution that allows you to keep creating. So, can Value 4 Value emerge as a viable alternative to the advertising behemoth? Simply, it can. By making you in charge of the value you provide independent of any pressures of censorship or worse, self-censorship. When the customer decides the value and pays directly to the supplier, the supplier places the responsibility on the customer to value the service you provided. And when they do offer you some value, you can find a balance between your effort and the return it generates. You are now not chained by the arbitrary desires and threats of the sponsors. If this isn’t true freedom, what is?

💰 Granted, these transactions are likely to be of small amounts, but digital content scales in ways physical content delivery can’t and never will. [Fortnite ](https://www.thegamer.com/fortnite-20-million-people-watched-the-device-live/?ref=blog.getalby.com)sees millions of viewers logging in to watch their live events; while the [biggest ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest-attended_concerts?ref=blog.getalby.com)ticketed physical concert had only 225,000 attendees. Unfortunately, though, Value 4 Value isn’t the norm or standard. Services often incorporate various tricks to ensure revenue keeps trickling in, whether the customer is getting their best work takes a back seat. The Value 4 Value model does not leave room for tricks for it is transparent. It places the responsibility of delivering value on the creator and its true valuation on the recipient.

****How can this value exchange take place online?****

🌐 As argued previously, the struggle for digital content monetization is about setting a price for something that can be perfectly replicated over and over again. And with advertisers deciding what should exist on the internet, the model of monetization on the internet is broken. What is needed is a direct P2P transfer of value online. This is made possible through the native money of the internet, Bitcoin - whose instant transfer is facilitated through the Lightning Network (LN). In the Value 4 Value model, LN is a fast and secure way for customers to show their true appreciation. It is now up to the creator to decide whether to provide value to high payers or to the long tail of micro-payers or even a balanced distribution that optimizes the true valuation. Check out Podcasting 2.0 as a successful Value 4 Value model enabled by the [Podcast Index](https://podcastindex.org/podcast/value4value?ref=blog.getalby.com) and apps like [Breez](https://breez.technology/?ref=blog.getalby.com), [Fountain ](https://www.fountain.fm/?ref=blog.getalby.com)and, [Sphinx Chat](https://sphinx.chat/?ref=blog.getalby.com) that allow users to stream payments to their favorite podcasters while they listen.

It  (the extension) makes it also much easier to use the Alby wallet, log in with Lightning, using Nostr.

And indeed, it is recommended to use the extension to store your keys locally and sign Nostr events, instead of pasting it on every website/client.

Keep #nostring!


But it's easier when you do! 😉

💡 DROP IDEAS:

What website/app fully integrated with Bitcoin/Lightning/Nostr would you pay to use... but there is no such yet?
