I am looking for some testers.
If you are curious how the app works, or you want to see how it is to receive your first boost or boostagrams as a podcasters or musician or you would like to support artists with one of the many podcasting 2.0 apps, let me know.
I will share the URL to create a wallet in one click together with an invite code for an Alby account.

This is an early Alby Labs project!
What happens? I am using my own Alby Hub and its integrated lightning node to host wallets for others.
I connected my Alby Hub to the Alby Jim app and people can automatically create a wallet on my Hub.
Everybody with an own Hub can be a host.
This is a trusted setup!

Is that a helpful way to onboard family, friends, podcasters and musicians to V4V?
Create a wallet and plug it into:
- Alby Browser Extension
- Alby Account dashboard --> with an Alby account you can use this wallet in many podcasting 2.0 apps
no channels; same Alby account experience as always
+ lightning address
+ value tag for 4V4 payments

Is there a difference when you send a boost or a boostagram?

Payments from my Hub + Alby Account + LNbeats are working.
Some of the obvious things to check are that you might have already done: Is the budget big enough for your Alby Account? Could you reconnect your Alby Account to LNBeats?

I just adjusted the guide for you if you want to connect your Umbrel node via NWC to your Alby Account: https://guides.getalby.com/user-guide/v/alby-account-and-browser-extension/alby-lightning-account/link-wallet

On the same page you also see a button "Use your own wallet" .
You'll need to add a NWC string. Are you using Umbrel, Start9 or something else?

Good point. We are making that more clear.
For now you can check: https://getalby.com/node
It shows if you use Alby's shared wallet or your own node.

You can connect various wallets and nodes to the Alby Extension (that's on one of your screenshots). That's mainly for sending sats on websites.
You can also link your own node/wallet link with your Alby Account and receive payments in a self-custodial way. That's how ChadF did it. It works with all NWC enabled wallets: Umbrel, Start9, Mutiny, Alby Hub LDK, Alby Hub LND.
What wallet are you currently using?

Greenlight per se is a “node as a service” (i.e. a set of nodes operated on a server space by one company (Blockstream)). You’ll need to open at least one payment channel to be able to send. There are no natively integrated LSPs. You could do an onchain deposit and open a channel.

Alby Accounts are available for everybody. Only if you don't have an Alby Account yet and you are from the US, you will need to use the new self-custodial wallet.
Existing users from the US can keep using their existing Alby Account as always.
Alby does not block any payments.
If you are missing payments, let's check that.
