One LSP is good enough, we recommend keeping around 3 channels.
tip: No use in mixing Private and Public channels

Hey, you gotta install getalbycom as PWA ("Add to home screen"). This is the app....

We're working on it, and that's not trivial. Recently we focused on building Alby Hub, now the dust settles we might thinking of releasing something else from the kitchen ;)
No signer feature there yet, but we also want it!

- reply

Hmm, you can use Alby Hub (if you have it on Start9), Connections -> Add Connection -> Isolated, and this creates NWC Connection Secret with isolated balance but shared liquidity.
Each of such connections can be linked to separate Alby Account, to get wallet interface and a Lightning Address. Also, each of them can be used as LNbits funding source as well!

- reply

You are far from truth, we are in fact controlled by reptilian bees

Connections -> Add Connection -> Isolated ;)
Then you can use that NWC connection secret with other Alby Accounts or the Extension or upcoming mobile wallets (soon!)

Hey, our extension is open-source and stores your keys encrypted in your browser local files. It performs signatures offline and signed nostr events are sent to the web, making sure that your nsec is not sent out to the internet.
Our code is open to use, verify, refine at Github 👇

Hey Jason, good question!
Exposing your nsec with various Nostr clients might expose your keys to a risk of doxxing it and you need to trust all of them.
Alby is an open-source app (so you can see what happens with the keys) that runs in your browser, signs nostr events offline and then uses Nostr with your nsec without ever sending the key through the web.

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:

Yes! On mobile Primal (and many other Nostr clients) you can link NWC enabled wallet with NWC pairing secret.
In Hub, you can generate those NWCs in "Connections" tab.
However, desktop Primal doesn't support it, yet. You'll need to use the extension!

We saw someone proposed a way to derive Master Key out of your nsec, but not sure if anyone supports it.
And it's not certain whether the extension will parse the same Nsec out of that Master.
So: no, unless you somehow figure what 12 words back up your nsec ;)

You won't need to balance the channels since they will only be used by you. The setup is designed so that you only need to open 1 or 2 channels when setting up your Alby Hub. After that, you won't need to open more channels for a long time, unless you need to upgrade your capacity. Check out this guide for screenshots and detailed instructions on what to expect. 😊👍

Hi Biebs,
We've looked further into the case your brought up and found the reason for your issues. While I can't share specific details about the receiver (I'd like to respect his privacy), I can provide a general explanation.
The reason you couldn't send sats to the recipient at that specific hour is because their Alby Hub was turned off at that time. If they turn their Alby Hub back on, you should be able to send sats without any issues.
I hope this clarifies the situation.
As a note for everyone, we strongly recommend that podcasters or influencers who need to receive sats 24/7 use an Alby Hub that is online 24/7. While Alby Hub can be self-hosted on various devices, not all are suitable for a 24/7 online wallet.
Our subscription product, Alby Hub on Alby Cloud, offers a 24/7 online wallet, ensuring you can receive sats at any moment.
