Last Notes
So, should we denominate prices in Bitcoin or Fiat?
if purchasing power increases, so it’s natural that one gets more or for less, isn’t it?
So I am wondering how to get there.
We got some bad feedback because we did not manage to adjust amounts compared to fiat fast enough in the last run. (partly understandable)
but then the question for me becomes what is fast enough? if that's real time towards some fiat currency then we fully loose the bitcoin denomination.
Maybe we have a different understanding of "Git"? If so, sorry.
My understanding:
Git does not have and does not need a backend. In the user's repository you have "remote" connections from which you can pull/push. Git supports various transport protocols for this and as a user I can add as many as I want - all are equal (a github remote is no different to any other remote)
Now there are no answers on how to find those remotes and there is no public definition of which clone is the "best" or "newest" (but this is also subjective) And there is no way to communicate proposed changes, etc.
Did you look into stuff like https://radicle.xyz/ ?
Do you believe in a bitcoin denominated circular economy?
Git is a distributed version control system. It is built specifically to NOT have a backend at all. (as opposed to SVN and others that had been popular before) All clones are equal.
It happened that people used GitHub services. Now people don't know Git and don't care about reading up on it.
Imo chances are high, that the same will happen with Nostr. If successful we will all use the same relay and will blame Nostr is not decentralized.
where are those? there are many who get blocked for criticizing some parties for example.
you will always be able to send them out.
you should not consider it a donation. if you have your backup you get that money out. I am sure somebody helps you here.
you do not own the inbound liquidity.
in your example you only own 121k. and those you can always send out if that’s in one channel.
in your example you can send in a max of 50k.
or what am I misunderstanding.
do you still have it configured?
Esplora is a dependency of LDK. I think in the future bitcoin core will also be an option directly.
Regarding the DB: I think best is to use an ORM that abstracts it away and gives again options on how to run it. The queries should be simple and compatible.
would be awesome. Let me know when you have questions and feedback.
The configuration should be pretty straight forward actually.
Users have for sure the option to run it independently and without sharing data. For example you can easily run it without Alby account and also use the lightning address with limited permissions.
You can also configure your own relay, or block explorer.
We might not have a good overview and guide for that and people might need to find it from the github readme 😉
that’s pretty cool.
accounting is a big blocker for adoption of bitcoin PoS. some great opportunity there. #note1339…v0la
there is no disagreement.
we provide a service, you don’t like it, go somewhere else. 🤷
sad, but no need to swear and you’re in no position to make any claims.
let’s debug it. but it’s hard for me to give support for those.
what error do you see?
What can we in Nostr learn from the recent surge in users for bluesky and mastodon?
Hey community, can somebody with an Alby Hub add @npub1hjt…00vx as a friend and share the node?
@npub1hjt…00vx does not want to run a own node but is a very nice person.
Maybe somebody can help?
yes, all stays as it is. Through the API you get all transactions as you expect it.
If you notice something please let us know.
As I am biased I should leave it up to others to reply, but it's only:
We want users to move to a self-custodial Alby Hub (as you already have used afaik). Our full focus is on Alby Hub and we think it's ready and easy to use.
Old, legacy users which use the shared Alby node will have to switch. (as it has been for all new users since 2024)
They will not end up directly in your Alby Hub balance but they will be shown to you and you can "transfer" them anytime to your Hub with one click. (so no payment is missed, no matter what.)
https://m.primal.net/MXLo.png
https://m.primal.net/MXLs.png
no that all continues as is.
Old legacy accounts will just not be able to receive payments without a hub.
You need to run Alby Hub somewhere. This is either on one if your devices like a home server or you can run it in the Alby Cloud. We have a one-click deploy of Alby Hub (the node) there.
( for the hosting we charge)
I assume you run it on your own... no you don't have to pay.
Als Alby Hub is FOSS.
The shared legacy node will be shut down and people should use the new Alby Hub. Alby Hub puts users in full control and is an easy to use, self-custodial lighting node.
On the Alby Extension etc. nothing changes.
honest answers only please.
#note1lah…34ll
With Alby Hub you're good. 🙏
The only thing that people are recommended to do is to run Alby Hub. If you do that, then you're good.
There is the Alby Account with the lightning address, the Alby Extension - those do NOT give you a node. You have to connect a node to those. NWC (Nostr Wallet Connect) is the best spec for that.
Alby Hub comes with a lightning node.
So Alby Hub is the node/wallet/where your sats are and you connect other services (Extension, Account, Nostr Clients, etc.) to that one.
does this explain it?
We make sure that the old feeds etc. continue to work. (our node does not go away) A priority is to interrupt existing users as little as possible.
But we ask people to run an Alby Hub (or other NWC wallet/node) to move the funds there.
I think we now have such great tools now to run all this and put users in control. This is super exciting and btw. this also addresses to remove some dependency on Alby node ;)
Thanks for the feedback and words, I appreciate that a lot!
I am totally with you there and that's also to goal and a reason why we have built Alby Hub.
Check it out on Git Hub. While we try to make things easy you can use it in the level of which you're comfortable with.
In that thread there are a few misconceptions about Alby Hub it seems.
Would be happy to show you more and learn more of what you would like to see or where we can improve.
Did you already try to run it on your own machine? home server or something?
Actually there have been some experiments by Alby on this: https://github.com/getAlby/lite/
Alby Hub uses by default the Alby Relay but everything is e2e encrypted because of nostr.
It also uses the Alby esplora which just provides blockchain data.
If you don't want data to be shared you can set permissions (e.g. use an isolated connection to only create invoices).
You have all the options.
It's pretty straight forward I think. Many for example run the Alby Hub on a Start9 and it just works in one click.
Also we make sure that existing podcast feeds continue to work and there is no interruption for existing users.
But we want and have to make sure that people are in control of their wallets.
And yes, it will be hard for a small team to build and run things for free forever.
oh such kind words.
how do you expect being able to put all the resources in to build and run these tools?
You want others to pay for the resources that you use and if you have to do a slight change then you scream "shame on you"?
Run it on a $20 Pi and everything works. If that's too much or somebody else provides better or cheaper services then go there.
feel free to go somewhere else if you don't like or value what we offer.
And I guess you know that our tools like the Alby Hub are FOSS?!
It's exciting to try to run a service on the bitcoin standard. Especially in these times. The great thing is amounts can then be lowered for users.
which service is it? 🤔
https://m.primal.net/MEJb.png
we have to add much more information there, quick important ones:
+ we make sure that no feeds break and that the podcast feeds keep working
+ we also do not force people to pay but people have the choice to run Alby Hub anywhere. Many do for example on Start9. Currently we offer a paid cloud hosting service and we soon will also offer some other premium services (also v4v). Of course we hope people value what we build and the service that we provide. But it's important to us that people have the choice and full control.
yeah, that's awesome to here! this is what we're building it for. And we think this is super powerful. We also have podcast collectives that share an Alby Hub together.
And all that on any system that the user controls. From Start9 to some Pi or some cloud server (or Alby's cloud option ;)
Let me know if you have questions, I am happy to help.
This is a big learning from us and we have to get better in explaining these changes and improvements.
Zaps still have the big issue that often the relays reject the zaps or the clients do not properly show the zaps.
Don't know how this can be best solved actually.
oh man, we're still bad at communicating it seems. sorry.😉
We put full focus on Alby Hub - the recently released wallet.
Hey, I guess you will also get the info. We're compiling some more details because we actually also have some quite nice new improvements for people to get started.
And we think the Alby Hub is the best way forward to put the user in control.
Do you talk about the self-custodial Alby Hub wallet or the shared wallet?
if you have sats on the shared wallet you can move them out. how much do you have left?
nothing changes there. we need to publish more information. but don't worry
check damus and make sure you're also on the latest version of damus.
no, not yet. It's still new and under heavy development.
It is building on LDK as a lightning node implementation.
@npub16se…jdxk not sure if my note went through.
The great thing about Bitcoind and deflationary currencies is that the amounts get lower when the purchasing power rises.
This will happen here, too.
We learn a lot on how we as company and users can live on a bitcoin standard.
what errors have you been getting?
@npub1zad…7r8p what damus version are you using? There has been some update recently related to how zaps are validated.
I could zap you, the payment is sent and the zap receiped is published.
We work hard on making it as easy as possible for users and we think the tech is right to manage to do this now.
People should own their own keys, and should own their own money.
It comes with great power but it will be a bit harder than relying on others.
But people will have to move.
And we also think with NWC as a spec now users will also have the possibility to choose the service that they like best.
yeah it's a rough path, but together we will make it.
Also each question and problem just makes it better and thus easier for others.
WE CAN DO THIS!!
Sats should not be stuck and here I am pretty sure that this error can be fixed.
It's still the pain of early adopters. We've come along way and people are able to run a node 😉 we'll get there. It takes work and time, but I am confident that together as a community we can build great things for everyone.
what's your recommendation or ideal scenario?
As I read your messages you think people should be in control and we want to decentralize as much as possible, correct?
We have hubs that run for 5+ podcasters. Do you think that's too expensive?
I also hope that hosters themself see a opportunity here.
We've been pushing in that direction for a while, it will take time. We put a lot of effort in being backwards compatible which also means no feeds must be updated for the time being.
It's ultimately a question of being self-sovereign and in full control. This might have the downside that you need to put some resources in, but it gives you full independence and control.
Otherwise one is relying on others putting those resources in and if something changes one might be dependent.
With Alby Hub we build a usable way to be self-sovereign and in control.
Interesting one. So you mean a setting to basically change the mint, correct?
sorry. I thought @npub18u0…lumk was in the thread.
@npub18u0…lumk What is blocked?
The issue with emptying a lighting wallet are the lighting fees which are hard to know upfront and there are related attack vectors to steal funds.
Thus probably all lightning wallets require a small reserve based on the amount you try to send and this sadly makes it hard to send the last sat sometimes.
If you have issues contact support and I am sure you get the sats in no time.
can you explain "captured" - as we put a lot of work in to put users in control. With the Alby Hub, the work on NWC as a protocol, etc.
feedback is appreciated.
aaaand, to give users options we also put a lot of work in to make Alby Hub run everywhere (e.g. on a tiny, cheap Pi)
there is a lot that is being done, so we appreciate your support and time.
btw. prices will be adjusted for sure.
We're learning a lot there also on how as a company and customers we can be on a bitcoin standard. 😉

this error looks like a BlueWallet authentication error with LNDHub.
if you use Alby be aware that if you create new lndhub credentials then the old ones become invalid and you must add use the new lndhub credentials in bluewallet.
let me know if we can help.
meh, this message sucks and also gives a wrong impression.
As it's already known we have the full focus on Alby Hub and we must reduce the limits and want people to run their own hubs.
I make sure that some proper information and plan is shared asap. We can't just send such a message that just confuses everybody. Sorry about that.
hey, what problem do you see. sorry I don't know about the case? can I help?
We only focus fully on Alby Hub and no longer on the shared wallet for now. So you're good to go there!
The lightning address is there exactly for that and allows to change the wallet that is used. (as opposed to the node key)
We believe those "addresses" should be owned by the user and the user can then choose the wallets freely. This is the beauty of the open network.
At Alby we always have been working towards that.
What do you miss - except maybe a free option?
Is nodeless similar to serverless - it means somebody else's node/server?
To speak of a knockoff is even hilarious to me.
I mean, what a genius invention is it to show the block time instead of the time on a well known device with very basic components?
The state of bitcoin in 2024: fighting if somebody is allowed to show the current block number on a device (on a devices similar to thousands that normally show the time)
This is really a new low.
and with an ubuntu machine it works?!
whoa, what?!. interesting.
I am still debugging this but without success. so you have this reproducable on a debian?
Also, you have too much fiat, you LARPer.
"Spain has arrested one of its top police officers after €20m (£17m) was found hidden in the walls of his house, as part of an investigation into the country’s largest-ever cocaine bust.

that for sure was a dumb comment. :) not intended to be taken serous.
But I still don’t understand an argument.
haha, is that the favorit topic some of the bitcoin religion like to argue about? that carnivore religion is stupid
let’s write code 🙏
🤔 so you don’t believe Ross’s information and references there,
not that strange Curtis guy,
also not the justice system which dropped the charges,
you dislike the bitcoiners who like Ross,
double life + 40 years without parole is fine because you “think”.
;)
I don’t think Ross thinks he is a hero at all. far from it. did you ever listen to what he says and see what he does?!
maybe some Bitcoiners treat him like that, but that’s not his fault.
you base your thinking on some unproven claims that have been dropped by the justice system.
I don’t see you applying that critical thinking that you claim others should have.
and I think villainizing somebody is as bad as making somebody a hero.
the specific facts should be the only thing that matters no matter if angel or devil.
you did not reply to me.
did you read the content on the freeross site?
did you listen to him and look into what he is doing?
and what is a deserved sentence for which crime?
why were the charges that you focus on dropped?
seems your reasoning is more like because disliking some bitcoiners?
it’s about a crime that somebody is not convicted for and has thus not really something to do with another crime somebody committed and is convicted for. it’s a successful distraction…
I don’t see how you can justify that somebody is convicted for a crime that you say should not be charged on the bases of another claim for which charges actually had been dropped.
how is this justice?
but let’s research that claims and also why it was dropped.
it also has nothing to do with “heros”. it must be about justice and not if somebody likes somebody or not.
In the Assange case many people said there was a rape case and because of that he is guilty of everything and people did not care.
which is bad imo.
if there was case A then one must be prosecuted for that, but that has mostly nothing to do with another case case B.
and if you say he is a danger, did you look at his actions in prison?
Shouldn’t you then call for the prosecution of that crime? and that the crimes he is convicted for is commuted?
It’s not OK or how things work or should work.
one is and should be sentenced for the crime that somebody committed and is convicted based on a due court process with evidence presented.
again, first of all he is not convicted of that. so it seems it is not that clear.
but as I said before and to go with it, what should be a justified sentence for that? and is his sentence justified for you justified - and compared that to other sentences.
what should be my sentence of saying Alex should be killed? ;)
some of the investigators actually got convicted for some fraud if I remember correctly.
and also I think it never was proven that these messages are by him. (I need to read up on that agin)
I assume you read the material on the freeross website?
if he would have been convicted of murder of 5 people then probably nobody would complain.
but he is not and there are no people dead. (and as far as I remember even one of the people who should have been killed spoke out in favor if him)
and even if we assume the chat is real and from him the sentence is not justified, is it? actual murderers have gotten way less.
It’s been many years that I researched the case more - I need to refresh it - but just from looking at the crimes he is convicted for the sentence is a no-go. (esp. in comparison to other sentences of similar crimes)
independent of what was going on and only on the grounds of what he was convicted for…
in relation and compared to other cases do you think the sentence is justified and deserved?
did you already look at other cases?
I will debug it later when I am at the computer.
but the router should not be a problem because the connection goes through a nostr relay
might be some networking issue. hmm
and btw. it’s mainly about the amount of the sentence. compare that to other, even related crimes.
and for example read the murder for hire case. no murder happened. much of the evidence is questionable and not a full proof. and then compare that to other sentences.
Not even Ross says he is an “innocent hacker”.
I really think you should do more reading before you make such broad comments and also don’t bring a reference to Aron or such in here.
can you go to getalby.com/node - the wallet configuration.
unlink it there.
and then in the hub try it again?
what did you read? that US government press release?
read more,
but with all respect that post there sounds like it’s useless to have a decent conversation with you on that topic.
I think you need to do more reading on this.
so under connections what does it say about getalbycom?
nice.
did you chat with them about the possibility?
There's a warning about that on top of the page. Everyone should decide for themselves what risks they want to take.

(I've been thinking about migrating many times. But I guess the vanity of it still being one of the oldest nodes is strong. 😅)
We ran both lightningd and lnd in the beginning. But when we had to move to new hardware after a couple of years, there was a weird edge case bug with c-lightning that prevented us from moving its database to a new box, so now we're left with just the lnd. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

there is so much scam out there and then I (with no credibility) come and tell this.
What is the best, short introduction I can give somebody to explain the power of self-custodial bitcoin to somebody who knows bitcoin only as something on binance and who lives under sanctions or problems receiving money from abroad.
How so? Is there voting for merging NIPs or something, and does every dev have a vote?
AFAICS it's as close to pure anarchism as you can get.
My old ThinkPad has been running pretty well as a full node with Electrum server etc. since I set it up. The only thing I haven't gotten to work yet is automatic boot unlocking with Tang and Clevis (which works fine with our rack servers in a private location). It's one of those things that are so tedious to debug and fix, that I hardly ever find the motivation for it.
We do have extended power cuts on this island at least once or twice a year, and sometimes they're too long for the UPS to keep everything running. But it's also nice to be able to reboot remotely for kernel upgrades and whatnot.
"By" as in "before", or "within"? I might propose it to them, because they do accept suggestions for new markets.
FYI, easiest way to top up on Polymarket from bitcoin is via Lightning payment to FixedFloat (exchange to USDC on Polygon). And when you want to send back your winnings, create a 0-amount invoice and use that to exchange back to bitcoin on FF.

Sorry, I see what you mean now. The relay would have to reject edit messages that are too late, because the client could be offline and doesn't get a timestamp from the relay, only from the sender. But people don't want smarter relays, so that's out of the question I guess.
Delayed sending on client-side is definitely better than not trying to solve it at all!
It just means that the mentioned scam is not a good argument, since this is not happening on other protocols that support edits currently.
The edit window is always just a thing that clients do, see e.g. https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0308.html
The whole point is that it's not guaranteed to show the edit everywhere, and that clients can choose what they think is the most reasonable course of action.
That scam wouldn't work with a short edit window, which is exactly what all decentralized protocols with editing are doing.
This is all I can do at this point:

You mean like he did when the EU told him to? With literal memes mocking them?
It's completely unrealistic that Elon will ban memes on his own platform. This is not a good argument against X or others.
You should not needs to constantly manage stuff for sure.
Once in a while when an update must be deployed you need to enter the password to unlock your node. This is because all data and keys are encrypted and are only accessible to you.
You do NOT need to have the hub open in your browser and you do NOT need to be logged in there.
The node runs, you can close the browser.
BUT: if an update needs to be installed or if the node needs to be restarted you need to unlock it with your password by logging in once.
In this case you should have gotten an email that you should update your hub (which is a click of a button and then the unlock) and that an update will automatically be deployed after a few days.
I hope this explains it?
Sounds a bit like "verifiable" refers to the network itself in this form. Maybe just use plural, i.e. Verifiable Communications Network? Not sure tbh.
I do like the clear statement of it being planetary, like the "Inter" in Internet or the "World Wide" in WWW.
Payments are also just communication. Money is pure information.
So you're thinking of it as a simpler and custodial forms of payment channels perhaps? E.g. I wouldn't immediately cash your zaps, but keep them for a while, and efficiency increases if I then cash them in all at once later?
Global network for verifiable communication: GNVC.
Oh, and for RSK you'd currently need ~18 entire RSK networks worth of liquidity.
For Lightning, that would be both liquidity and security (e.g. the election bet on Poly was the size of 9+ entire Lightning Networks).
For on-chain, the problem is how to handle the actual contracts and uncheatable/uncensorable payouts to thousands of addresses. For that to be decentralized you need more contract logic than bitcoin script provides. Likely a good idea to wait for a production-ready off-chain smart contract platform (based on whatever ZK proofs/rollups/etc.) to arrive. Or bite the lemon and deploy Poly contracts to RSK. 😅
That's fine for the oracle trust, but probably not fine for being able to run billion-dollar markets like the ones that exist on Polymarket.
How is credit to yourself useful? It's all in the same book, so any credit to yourself is automatically cancelled out by the debit. Maybe I'm missing something?
The government does not produce anything, so it also wouldn't get paid for mining bitcoin (except for potential taxes in EUR). But private companies are already starting to experiment with it:

Fun fact, this bet alone was a 3.6 *billion* USD market. Look at just the top 15 shareholders for each side:

Aside from whatever opinion you have on political parties or politicians, here's a neutral fact to consider:
The NY Times just called the result, and at currently 224 vs 277 votes, these numbers almost exactly mirror the Polymarket odds from directly before the election.
All legacy media were wrong about how close of a race it was, while markets (including normal bookies) predicted the result with almost perfect accuracy.

(Migrate as in create new accounts/identifiers and send the migration notice to existing followers so they auto-follow the new address, the same way it happens when someone migrates their account to a new instance.)
Maybe it makes more sense to migrate the bridge accounts to new identifiers, instead of waiting for username changes? I'm already not seeing most of my notes when I look at my Nostr account on the Mastodon side anyway.
Just when you think you've seen all of noStrudel's features by now, there's always one more:

I think the #indieweb concept of POSSE (Post to Own Site and Sync Elsewhere) should become PORSE.
Doesn't sound as cool, but since your own site is also dependent on DNS, it's the ultimate post-to-own-anything. It wouldn't even have to be a relay, we could also call it PODSE, i.e. post to own drive/disk/device, then sync elsewhere.
If Yubico adds native support for nostr key import and signing, then that would work. Otherwise, you'd have to store an encrypted nsec, which doesn't bring any benefit over storing it on your computer directly.
Sure, rely on an old device's "permanent vulnerability" then. 😄
You are conflating random outcomes with games of skill. There's no place you can go from that starting point. FWIW bayesian analysis is what you want to use here.
Adoption is correlated to supply demand dynamics, but folks normally misguess the impact. For example lightning is everywhere but only actually 5000 btc. Capital is more important.
Prohibition is likely to happen on alt coins, these things dont happen fast and are given with lots of notice. There could be prohibition in the next 14 months, but that would be an unexpected game-changing event. More likely is a liquidation. Or something like a contentious fork that could split the chain. Then all bets are off.
However supply/demand with a business-as-usual next year, should see it trend to 100k+.
The whole point of a hardware key is that you cannot extract the private keys. Since when does Yubico allow you to do that?
1. No (although they might be able to add support for it if they wanted to)
2. It's not a perfect fit, because you don't want to lose your Nostr identity when you lose or break your Yubikey
Perfect use case for anon VPSs!

This is rather crude, but I'm using it to back up all of my Nostr media uploads for now (until Kosmos storage has NIP-96 or Blossom support):
https://storage.kosmos.org/raucao/public/shares/241102-2154-download-images.txt
Can be used like this for example:
`./download-images.sh ws://localhost:7777 $pubkey_hex ~/backup/nostr/images/`
(It will create a subdirectory per pubkey in backup dir. Needs nak and jq installed.)
There's clearly a Strudel in the logo of noStrudel. This is lies!
Terrible channel partners. Here's another 5M sats inbound...

What's the cryptic secrecy for? Why not build in the open? 🤔
Sounds like a problem with Coldcard UX, not hardware wallets in general.
Set up strfry on my laptop, with a systemd timer to regularly sync notes from my home relay via negentropy. So smooth.
An algorithm can't find content for you if it doesn't know you. And it cannot know you if you're a new user who just created a key pair.
When I open that I just get an infinite spinner, and from the network panel I can see it's not using my relay list...
You could only verify that a result has been produced by a certain key, but not how many results it has produced from which the published one has been picked.
They're all buggy, but noStrudel works best for me.
The problem with a network this small is that, to a certain degree, the network is close to being just one large community, instead of many overlapping smaller communities. With federated systems it's more obvious that the people you might strongly disagree with come from different domains, which just also happen to be able to communicate with yours. But I think a network without this required affiliation needs a certain minimum size to become home to a truly diverse set of people.
I think both community-focused software as well as non-social-media use cases are the solutions in the end. If Will can't post stuff like that without it affecting new users, then the entire protocol is DOA, isn't it?
there is already an API for that on the nostr object.
It's beyond me why Zcash is not regarded as a complete shitcoin. Here's the first reason Zooko states for why Zcash will switch to Hybrid Proof-of-Stake:
"It reduces supply of ZEC by locking up staked ZEC and increases demand for ZEC by giving people something else to do with it."
Not enough demand for "money"? People have no idea what to do with their "money"? Let's lock it up and reward investors with dividends!
Now imagine someone looking at this chart, even adding it to their own blog post, and then linking said post with the comment "Zcash is winning":

Satoshi Nakamoto to Reveal Legal Identity on 31 October 2024

I don't understand why you would announce the end-all-be-all solution of a decentralized, user-controlled Internet on a centralized, corporate-owned blog platform. How can I trust you to bring about this amazing new Internet technology when you're unable to publish a simple Web page under your own control? 🤔
I use the DID acronym as a generic term sometimes.
"We may not be the best in presenting ourselves, but what matters is that we onboarded the FBI" to Tether's compliance systems, he added. "We onboarded the U.S. Secret Service. We have thank-you letters from the DOJ … We think we are doing, you know, the best we can." — Paolo Ardoino
Tether already looks a lot like a semi-private U.S. CBDC. And it makes sense, since the Federal Reserve banks are privately owned, too. May as well extend the current collaborations with some kind of permanent oversight board, stacked with more government bureaucrats.
Paralelní Polis is no more, but it looks like the Institute is still alive:
#nevent1q…4yfr
Pubky looks promising. I already believed that the Mainline DHT could be the best way of resolving DIDs in a truly decentralized fashion, when I saw this idea a while ago:
https://did-dht.com
(By the way, the reason I started https://gitea.kosmos.org/kosmos/substr in TypeScript is so that I can re-use most of it for an unhosted reader app later.)
Both adding Nostr support to a feed reader, as well as adding RSS/Atom support to a Nostr reader (that is optimized for long-form content) would be nice to have. It's basically the same app and the protocol shouldn't even matter much to a user. Ideally the experience is exactly the same when you paste a Nostr URI as when you paste a RSS or Atom URL.
I rely heavily on Feedbin for most of my news and long-form content, so for now I'll just subscribe to Nostr feeds using my own Nostr feed generator. There's hardly any long-form content on Nostr as of now, so opening e.g. Habla a few times a day, with zero updates for most of the week, was too frustrating of an experience.
with whom did you open a channel? that node seems to be offline.
https://image.nostr.build/cc6e969474a3d430d3dfdf1e02f5a86d1dca89fae49d9e3e24b02318e873e721.jpg
hmm. what explanation ware you missing? about how lightning works?
you can choose the channel partner in “advanced” - most people like the default and don’t care.
Typical people who send and receive sats don’t need to care about some balancing.
but if you don’t want to use lighting then at this stage I guess it’s not for you. :(
sounds like there was a LND downtime at whoever you used there. Can you try it again?
any recommendation on how to make it better? your main issue was that the costs have been unclear to you?

@npub1p23…rnl6 I have some Markdown suggestions for your @npub1ga6…uqm2 release content...
1. Use `<h2>` and lower (i.e.`##`, `###`) for headlines in the article content
2. Use a proper link element for the magnet links (i.e. `[Magnet link](magnet:?xt=urn:btih:e18e92024...)`
https://nostr.kosmos.org/@bitcoincore
You can configure Substr for multiple relays and arbitrary username/pubkey pairs, so this is how I'm reading @npub180c…h6w6's articles now (and finally not missing any, because new ones will pop up in my feed reader):
https://nostr.kosmos.org/@fiatjaf
(Also, that content was great for fixing a bunch of content styles, URI parsing/linking, and more.)
I think all is back up again. try to login again to the hub. does it work?
check the settings in the hub. there you can do that.
you can use multiple alby accounts with the same hub, but you have to do the wallet configuration manually.
create a new connection in the hub, copy the secret and go to the alby account - wallet configuration and configure it there
what do you mean with “manually collect”?
That's a big "just", when you have to explain everything to them and then see to it that they don't do anything wrong. They're not a friend of mine, and I don't have time to do free bitcoin support for them.
Hey Brits, what's a good link I could give to a future-coiner living in the UK, who was just asked by a freelancer in Ghana to pay invoices in BTC, but who has no idea how bitcoin works at all? No knowledge, no wallet, no coins. Where do I send them?
Awesome to read that @npub1rxy…hnp8. I am travelling across El Salvador and Guatemala, paying for stuff multiple times a day, EVERYDAY, in different citties, with my Alby Hub on Umbrel Home that's in Warsaw, Poland, connected through @npub19hg…yv9p to Alby Go.

Welcome to the Nostr
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1BneeJTDcU
I do know exactly what you're talking about. My fiancée is INTJ...
Similarly, even when they're scared, they usually still scare everyone else with their facial expression. 😅
It's all about preferences. INTPs can become very extroverted with the right crowd for example. And people obviously change behaviors depending on mood, health, etc..
I also try to timeblock things sometimes, but it never lasts long. If you can withstand "no plan at all" for any periods longer than 1 day, you're most likely not an INTJ. 😅
They can keep their cool like no other type. I envy that trait sometimes.
I think that just means you haven't looked into the topic enough yet. I'm INTP and my partner is INTJ, and these two types are quite different in some ways. In fact, all the main functions are directed in opposites. However, they still share many personality traits, so a lot of the online tests can results in random outcomes for some people.
Thanks!
I'll look into it and add feedback to that issue.
Feedbin picked up my Substr blog's article update. Nothing surprising there; it's just always great to see multiple open protocols working seamlessly in combination.

The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older. Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.
No, you can connect the same one again and just set different Nostr keys for it in the settings
Please tell me that nobody is using the name "substr" for any of their Nostr software yet. (I did do a quick search and couldn't find any results.)
https://gitea.kosmos.org/kosmos/substr
I think during the installation on startos it asks you if you want to use the LND node or the embedded LDK.
you just use the LND. it uses the LND grpc interface then.
no change needed, and you should be able to use lnbits etc. for sure.
in the albyhub transaction list you might only see transactions made with the hub as we store some more transaction metadata.
yes. you can use the installed LND

Initially, I didn't want to spend the whole Sunday on this, but it's basically almost done now. I started building a nice server-side renderer for long-form content on our Nostr relay:
https://image.nostr.build/0972720a9bafef71312c2e3dc429336fe446043032ffb6e89e77c459ed5ed69d.png
The next step is to create human-readable URLs, i.e. `/@username/article-id`. But my favorite feature will be `/@username/articles.rss`, because if it doesn't have an RSS feed, it's not a blog.
whoot, that sounds pretty cool.
It works, but you should add higher pre-set amounts than 1K in my opinion.
I was thinking about alternative URLs just yesterday (for a different, but similar use case). I think it should still support the full URL and reference it as the canonical one via `link rel="canonical"` in the HTML. You also need the full URL to link out to other clients from there anyway.

Shout-out to all the fedimint devs at last weekend's bitcoin++ in Berlin!
In fact, my biggest takeaways of the conference were:
1. That it's not just the Fedi company/investors employing devs to work on the protocol and reference implementations
2. That every fedimint federation is its own little consensus network, that you can build additional, interesting functionality upon by implementing your own fedimint modules
3. That the lack of fedimint wallets was mostly due to how difficult it is for client software to talk to a federation of nodes instead of a single Web server, but that this has just been addressed with the brand-new Web SDK, which I test-drove and was able to build an MVP wallet upon within less than an hour
https://web.fedimint.org/

WTF, they actually gave up entirely on sovereign identity?!
"In principle, the cryptographic keys for signing repository updates and DID document updates can be held directly on the user’s devices, e.g. using a cryptocurrency wallet, in order to minimize trust in servers. However, we believe that such manual key management is not appropriate for most users, since there is a significant risk of the keys being compromised or lost.
The Bluesky PDSes therefore hold these signing keys custodially on behalf of users, and users log in to their home PDS via username and password. This provides a familiar user experience to users, and enables standard features such as password reset by email."
Today, I went back to working on Nostr onboarding features for Kosmos users (whom we haven't even told about all the Nostr functionality yet).
Slowly arriving at something usable. This is all loaded asynchronously from the Ruby app server now (once authenticated). No custom JS needed until signing the prepared events later:
https://image.nostr.build/4405f1a6813d3467f664a77b5a41c6cfda91ac469032da713eb3e1ca99de4f83.png
yes, I used iterm before. but the hotkey got somehow broken in one of the updates for me.
it has split screens and is nicely configurable and simple enough imo.
I am critical with all those AI stuff as I don't want to send my data to some AI 😉
Well, this was unexpected. Yesterday with #sandymount I gave away 2 million testnet sats by giving the utxo and privkey in a capability URI.
Instead of someone taking the 2 million sats, two people actually used the fuacet, and solved a capcha, and ADDED to the balance!
Now there are 2077311 testnet sats still unclaimed!

If you develop and/or maintain a Nostr client, which allows onboarding new users, and your onboarding doesn't involve creating and publishing a NIP-65 relay list... please fix that!
Happy Friday deployments, everyone! 🚀
It was also considerably skewed towards Harris before. And the centralized UK bookies e.g. give Trump even better chances than current Polymarket odds. Paddy Power has them at 8/13 and 11/8, which translates to 61.90% and 42.11% respectively.

sorry, but now you’re fully trolling, aren’t you?
in the extension just connect any wallet you want.
the hub you can also just install anywhere you want.
IF you want an alby ACCOUNT then you need an email, but why would you want an account if you don’t want to provide such information?!
just use it the way somebody would use it who does not want provide any data! many do.
did you even use it? check out the individual tools.
no signup is required.
but I let you troll now. 👋
🕵️ no traditional entity is.
read the code
Tor should not matter here.
for routing the main important point is the channel and liquidity.
Olympus is good. what amounts did you try to send. maybe also ping Olympus with the issue.
At Alby we believe that sats should be ideally at one wallet that then can be connected to different apps and used in different use cases. For example to zap, or in podcast player, or on the go with a mobile wallet.
With that the onramp should become easier as you only have to do that once for all apps. We build the Alby Hub for that as a wallet.
And I agree the most complicated thing is still to get the first money into lightning.
why do you need/use a thirdparty if you don't want it? I don't think it is needed, is it?
I think the main confusion is because the extension always needs some sort of lightning "wallet" and that then can have a local key that is used for nostr. (and keys are only locally stored and a wallet is always some remote wallet)
this means you can add the same wallet to the extension and use this same wallet with different keys.
you don't need to create a different alby accounts or different wallets.
@npub1rau…dees I will pass it on.
use the Alby extension first before and go troll somewhere else.
Yes, I think they're tied to separate Lightning accounts, but anything else would make it even more confusing I guess.
@npub1xv8…lk3x By the way, there's a small UI bug: when you switch accounts, it doesn't immediately update the npub that you can copy from the nostr icon...
what KYC crap?
you can add whatever you want (LND, NWC, CLN, …) also multiple times the same, it just needs to be a lightning wallet
huch?! in alby you have multiple since day one. what are you missing?
there is a bit of a storage limit by the browser above 5ish but that should be mostly not a problem, is it?
Rolled out PGP Web Key Directory for all Kosmos accounts today. Fetching our keys is so simple now:

Also, notification emails are now encrypted once you've uploaded your public key. And our upcoming email service (that is currently in private beta) will also make use of this, of course.
likely there was a timeout error which caused some strange behavior. can you send me the account you use?
lets look together. that sounds interesting.
what browser do you use?
would you be up for a screensharing debugging session?

Just a nit pick, but Norway is not an EU country. So you probably meant "other European countries" instead. However, it also means they don't necessarily have to abide by any EU regulations when it comes to cash payments.

Akira Kurosawa is a real one.
then you’re already good.
sounds like you connected the alby account to your hub and the sats are on your hub.
where are you told to migrate?
yes, it’s a long way… a marathon not a sprit. but we’re all on that one and not in it for the quick win.
how should alby support ecash?
It has a similar problem as one is not in control over the sats and mints at a certain scale will have issues. (which is my main worry)
the extension just has your keys. it’s the clients like primal.net nostrudel, etc. that have the logic and manage follow, profile, etc.
so it’s likely in one of those or the relays something is up.
which is fine, isn’t it?
it gets easier, thus the barrier of entry gets lower. and I am convinced more people understand the benefits.
it will always be a bit more complicated than giving up everything and put others in control, but more people also understand the benefit of not doing that.
I also think that lightning node OGs are a bit burnt, because of the early experience of running a node was so much more complicated.
I like the comparison:
if you asked early pilots who embarked on the adventure to fly across the ocean they would have that it will never be possible for an average person to cross the atlantic on a plane… and here we are.
How often did you hear we ask the government in Israel to investigate the incident (how they call war crimes) and then silence and never an update?
we need more media tracking those pressuring and informing the public about it.
here is one: https://mattmiller.lol/
tracking those the Miller says at press conferences.
I am convinced people run nodes, and see how much easier it now already got.
backup is still the hard part but we will also solve this.
what is the main issue that you think people will not run a node and take control over their funds?
You have to move to the Alby Hub - the new wallet for you.
you can there choose if you want to connect it to an Alby account or not and run it without it (without ln address and other features then)
the fee you probably have there is for your first channel - that is the connection to the lightning network.
you get one with a certain capacity through which you then can receive payments.
So, g++ 10.5.0 gave me "201709" for `__cplusplus`, but the bitcoin core 28.0 build fails when it's "< 202002L", meaning you need a newer compiler now. If you're also still on Ubuntu 20.04, there's no available system package for something newer in the normal repos, but you can add e.g. the "ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test" repo, which includes g++-13.
If you're also running LND, then you'll find that the current LND release is not yet compatible with bitcoin core 28.0 out of the box. You can fix the problem by setting "deprecatedrpc=warnings" for your bitcoind, until LND v0.18.4 is released.

in the end this boils down to the issue of naming and trust, isn’t it?
who says plugin xyz is the one I want and is not confused with another one that is called xyz?
we still did not solve this in a usable and scalable way, did we?

[...] we see a lot of sovereign nations realizing that the entire international order, as well as international law has been unraveling before their eyes. The amount of power that global powers asserted relating to ICJ, ICC, UN, and that the cease fire recommendations have all been ignored, sent a clear message to the world community that the United Nations has little to no power in regulating any of these international incidents. So a lot of countries are applying for BRICS, not because of the attraction of BRICS as much, but more because of the push from the West away from the current system or the world order we have today.

I have similar feelings regarding CCC, my 3rd time there last year was a little bit of a letdown. I hadn’t thought about it prior, but it does seem that over the years HCPP had filled a void, not entirely but at least partially by CCC. #note1zzk…gj6e

@npub1m2m…r8p9 any idea where we can stream talks we missed? I thought they would be up on the schedule page but so far nothing.
would you read those?
any idea how to improve it?
I've checked the logs on Alby's side and since you've unlocked the node payments seem to work again. Can you confirm this?
An email notification has been sent. Do you have suggestions on how to do this better that it does not get missed.
To keep up with the latest version we from time to time force updates but send email notifications before that. We will send more of those in the future. Users also can always manually update ideally.
Because you own the keys the unlock to start the node with your password is required.
is your node started and unlocked?
when in doubt log into your hub.
did you get an email in the last days?
there was an automatic version update scheduled after which you have to unlock your node again (because it is restarted).
if this is the case you should have gotten a few emails about it.
The explanation is that "if the merchant is into UX", they're supposed to accept unconfirmed transactions as if they are confirmed. I.e. pretend they're confirmed for the sake of not having to wait until they are.
sometimes updates are shipped, you should have gotten an email about this.
when an update is auto-installed then you need to unlock it again (as all data is encrypted)
it's recommended to install updates manually from time to time to avoid this.
actually it depends (as always)…
depending on the usecase it is also not too good to spread funds across too many channels.
the LSPs should be very well connected.
who do you try to zap?
this is an error on the recipient side.
You must not be using it much. I haven't had a payment fail in 2 years or so, and I did thousands since then. Including large ones from time to time. Never having issues.
And that's using s a fairly small node, not some large provider with massive routing capacity, both in liquidity and connections.
Thanks!
I had already tried esbuild and deno_emit, but no luck so far. If I find a solution for my case, I'll open a docs PR to share it.
@npub1q3s…d26p Quick question: do you know the best way to bundle/build nostrify to a plain ESM module for use in the browser with import maps? 🤔
I tried `deno bundle`, but it's deprecated and also fails with npm specifiers in the dependencies...

Am I right in assuming that the actual hacking will just happen in parallel to this program then? 🤔
Unconfirmed means unconfirmed. It is what it is.
Flying to Central America tomorrow. In the coming months, I want to visit bitcoin communities and meet bitcoiners in El Salvador, Guatemala and Costa Rica, perhaps maybe Honduras too.
Would love to connect with anyone there, hit me up or recommend people!

Someone at HCPP (in 2019 IIRC) shared an app to try to double-spend UTXOs at the bar, with an almost 50/50 chance of succeeding. They did it only to demonstrate how bad of an idea it is to accept unconfirmed transactions as payment.
True, doesn't work for me too. Did you sunset it? @npub1cd0…xlvx
Fun fact from #hcpp24:
I asked one of the crew how many payments during the conference she would estimate have been done via #LightningNetwork vs #Monero. She said about 30% XMR, but that she wished everyone used Lightning, because of how slow the Monero payments are.
Point of Sale is just bad UX for anything taking longer than a few seconds. Only really committed merchants will tolerate that, and even then it's rough for them.
something like this: https://primal.net/e/note1tnm3gl98rylp6quksw6v2cgjz5ze04vtzrj5kq4asruuqgphfx5q9st0ln ?
Where's the source of this? Afaik it's much lower number (3-10%?)

create invoice should be enough for that. often lookup of the invoice status is also helpful.
Short answer: relays dont get smarter, clients do. You provide the proof in a tag, and it can be verified by the cllient. The client knows when a profile is the latest, and when it is stale, that's about it. This also opens the door for other use cases, other than profiles.
These are valid arguments, but we can get a bit more creative here, and put our minds in problem-solving mode.
There's multiple arguments presented here, so I'll just tackle one. And that is, "its too expensive".
It's only expensive if you lose the base layer. It would cost you about 300 sats to timestamp your profile. That might be a worthwhile cost for those that value their profile.
Furthermore on higher layers, you can get the cost down to something nearer to 10 sats, or even 1 sat. All be it with some security trade-offs, which the vast majority of end users wont notice, especially if the UX hides it.
Even better, using testnet, you can get the cost down to zero, and the system would still work. Bear in mind, im just using the blockchain argument here, and not even talking about other options.
Consistent data is useful for all sorts of things, and we can get the cost down to very low levels. Inconsistent data is problematic, and I'm not sure how easy it is to argue that it's a feature not a bug. It might be in some cases, but in another, or lot of cases, consistent data is desirable.
what do you exactly need?
I have been using https://silent.link happily for a year now, though I know some people who've had issues with it. An alternative is https://crypton.sh, though I have not used it myself. Also it seems like you can't just get data service without a phone number, which you can do with silent.link.

In the current Nostr ecosystem, user profiles are often overwritten by different applications that maintain their own versions. This lack of synchronization and consistency across apps can lead to outdated or incorrect profile information. A unified, versioned profile system is necessary to ensure that users can maintain a single, authoritative profile that is synced across all devices, apps, and relays, while still allowing for personalization and extensions.

intersting. thanks. and that error persistes? or does it work now?
did you add some big comment or something there?
congrats! that’s amazing!
The way lightning works currently both sender and receiver have to be online.
so also Alby Hub needs to be online, the easiest is to run it on some device that is always on (or a cloud service)
if it’s offline or locked no payments can be made.
you need to use Alby Hub - that’s where the sats are then.
Alby Go or your nostr client use the Alby Hub.
It asks for their custodial wallet

😂
That's great!
Would also be fantastic if one could dismiss the red warning about LNDHub accounts being custodial once the risk has been acknowledged. It can and should explain the risk, but we're adults who can also agree to that and then don't want to be bothered about it every time we look at our wallet. Maybe it could move over to the account settings once explicitly acknowledged by the user?
the official version will be released in the next days. wait a bit.
I think we had a node restart sadly.

Not really - Alby Go is just an interface for your lightning node/wallet that supports NWC like Alby Hub (can be installed on Umbrel or start9), coinos, Lifpay
Yeah, no need to do anything 😉 Same for your account in the extension!
Alby Go is just mobile interface for your node/NWC wallet. You need a lightning wallet/node to use it with (like Alby Hub, coinos, start9, umbrel)
It's hard to integrate in terms of APIs and the usage is not that high.
Maybe somebody is up for contributing on this though?
yep, alby hub does not work with CLN.
there is a NWC plugin for CLN afaik. those could potentially be used. then it works nicely with the extension.
but I don’t know about the status of that plugin
no core lightning.
we also actually currently deprecate greenlight and breez. for various reasons but it does not seem there is a clear path to make those generally accessible from.
not, yet.
but we are in the process of sending invites and opening up.
if the hub is offline you can not receive. the payment fails - the sender will get an error.
nothing is lost, but you are unable to receive.
yes! I thinks those ideas are the exciting ones. with lightning we can do much cooler stuff than just to scan some code and pay.
check in at the bar and each drink will just automatically be charged with NWC… they will not pay upfront, the bar can request a payment and has a budget…
(if your bar rugs you then you’re for sure in the wrong bar. I also expect my bar to serve me decent drinks ;) )
Check out @npub1xv8…lk3x you're not the only one with this idea :D
Even worse, the current Prime Minister of the UK also wants a hot war:
https://consortiumnews.com/2024/09/20/the-madness-of-antony-blinken/
MLS is a good idea: https://socialwebfoundation.org/program-protocol-e2ee/
alby hub is quite similar.
but much easier and more lightweight (with that more stable and more universally usable)
also you have more control over app permissions and budget.
but quite similar.

any relay works.
we do some more special stuff in the relay for validation and protection and optimizing for NIP47 but ultimately any relay works.
what means disappeared? is your LND node running there properly and is properly synced?
I can not speak for BTCPay but I know that there was some debugging going on in regards to how BTCPay subscribes to events.
To answer the question about the relay:
if the Alby relay is going away you just use a different relay. in that case you will have to reconnect the app (btcpay) to the wallet that you use again. (because the relay is set as part of the connection secret and the app and wallet need to know through which relay they have to communicate)
but that’s the beauty of NWC, it uses the default Nostr infrastructure and no special setup would be needed in that case.
thanks! that’s great to hear.
fyi. the official app for the Start9 marketplace is ready soon.
Again, it's only about deletion *requests*, i.e. showing intent. Why are you painting it as if anyone claims proper deletions are possible? My very post that you replied to explicitly says "requests", and I haven't seen anyone saying anything else about the feature.
It already works like this on other decentralized protocols, with no demonstrable bad side effects that would outweigh the usefulness. If you want to insist that it's such a big problem, then please point us to good examples of that on other decentralized protocols, or concede that it's pure speculation. Also, you should not use any clients implementing NIP-09 (or not letting you turn it off), since that's your personal choice anyway.
Also very simple, and implemented like this in many XMPP clients: only allow edits if they happen shortly after the original message. Later, just show it as a separate new message, and discourage doing it in the first place with client-side UI preventing you from editing too late.
You can choose a client that only indicates that an author wants to retract a post, and they can also provide a reason for the deletion. This is not about owning up to posts or mistakes, but about fixing typos, removing tracking params in links, and stuff like that. Since, as you say, you cannot actually delete a post that has been published and synced outside of your control, the fear about people hiding things is unwarranted really.
With email, I re-read drafts twice before sending. But with social media I'm used to proper delete handling by almost the entire fediverse (which is all HTTP), and it's difficult to override that muscle memory for Nostr.
Embarrassing typos are the worst on a protocol, where a lot of clients don't properly deal with delete requests. :/
hmm. it says 1.8.0 in the UI for you? during the onboarding you should be prompted about the account and also in settings you can now disconnect.
btw. 1.9.0 was just shipped.

Domain names are not issued by the government, but a certain government may be able to take over control of a domain. However, https://thepiratebay.org is still online and still facilitating bittorrent downloads of copyrighted material, even after all the persecution in the past.
So, why not use more domain trust in addition (or as a fallback) to the WoT? For example, if I already follow more than 1 person on a certain domain, my client could automatically trust any other user with a valid NIP-05 address on that domain, at least until I have to block a pubkey associated with it. And it could even go and see which domains are trustworthy within my WoT.
Non-Tor relays are already based on DNS anyway, and a lot of people also use NIP-05. So it's not like domain trust isn't part of Nostr at all right now.
Since someone just asked, here are some tips for people traveling to El Salvador for the first time. I spent a few months exploring the country in 2021 and 2022, and these are just *some* things that are not El Zonte (Bitcoin Beach), El Tunco, or San Benito:
#nevent1q…3rww
Get away from the coast and up into the coffee country! Ruta de las Flores, all the way to Concepción de Ataco for example. Have some fun in Laberinto de Apaneca on the way. Do a coffee tour. Santa Teresa Hot Springs at night. Stay at Campo Bello (run by bitcoiners) and hike up the Santa Ana volcano. Visit an archaeological site with Mayan ruins. Take a few days to explore that side of the country. Ask locals at the conference for more tips. There's plenty to see.
I've seen a lot of bitcoiners expecting the coast to be as developed as the rest of the country and/or that El Salvador is all about beaches. But neither is actually the case.
Enjoy!
Amethyst on-boarding is freaking awful if a highly technical cypherpunk is left saying this.

oh nice! sounds interesting!
here is an invite: https://getalby.com/auth/users/new?invite_code=b109e189
It will guide you to setup Alby Hub. Let me know if you have questions and feedback. ;)
You might need to add your lightning address in the nostr profile - this does not happen automatically.
it will allow you to setup your own lightning wallet (Alby Hub) and give you an account with a LN address
here is an Alby invite code for you: https://getalby.com/auth/users/new?invite_code=9bf19a5b
yes, you can use the wallet in the hub to pay an invoice of a sub account.
we have to learn and see what’s the usage pattern and if/how users want to use it.
so thanks for that feedback!
just trying to investigate what happened and how it can be improved.
so I appreciate that feedback.
yes, best is to use then subaccounts for everyone to have this separation.
the "main" account will always see everything.
I've inspected this further and also chatted with the LSP.
You are having a self-hosted hub there, your Alby account is connected. I see a lot of restarts of your hub there. It even looks here like you have started the Alby Hub twice in parallel. I think the hub does not protect against this, yet. But this for sure causes problems due to the nature of how nodes connect and manage state.
One channel was closed by your node actually (which indicates that there was an issue running the node).
Where do you run this hub?
And actually if you don't want or need a self-custodial lightning node, then there is no point in running it. At the state that we and lightning is at there will be some channels involved and an assumption is you want to connect to the network otherwise you would not run it.
Alby did not close any channel. Alby Hub recommends LSPs but you do not have any Alby channel.
And channel closure issues is something that all lightning teams are working on (LND, LDK, etc.) We put a lot of effort in trying to optimize this - also recommending those LSPs where we know that they work hard on providing good channel availability.
That's the state that lightning is still in and can not fully be prevented just yet in a decentralized, diverse network.
Alby Hub is also not "logging out" your system might stop/restart it which requires an unlock again to decrypt the data.
hope this clarifies some things. if you don't like it, that's fine... - actually the great thing of the open network that people can choose the tool what works for them. :) - just wanted to provide some help/clarification here.
it works without Alby's backend!
We specifically use NWC in Alby Go as a protocol that directly can talk to your self hosted Alby Hub and in v1.8 you also no alby account is required anymore with the hub. (you might want an account for notifications, ln address, etc. but it is not required.)
So Alby Go talks directly to your Alby Hub wherever you host it.
any ideas on better texts? (which also seems not to be read)
that button explicitly says “open a channel”. and not “next” or something.
the edge case here is a bit that the user has a alby hosted balance which is used instead of showing the invoice QR. we wanted to make this smooth. feedback is also that people don’t like complicated long onboarding steps. one-click done.
but there is put a lot of work in these processes. feel free to open an issue or PR.. all open source and early versions.
thanks for the feedback. seems people don’t read the text…
channel opens are also sadly still hard. and some want one-click and some want big scary second warnings.
It’s open source, ideas and pull requests are also very welcome.
everyone works hard on those things to get right for the different cases and users.
which LSP did you use? we don’t run the LSPs. but this is likely a wrong email. could it be that you tried to open a public channel from a LSP that does not support it?
in that case you also did not pay.
meh, sorry to hear that.
what channels do you have? public or private? with what peer?
I am rather sure that no nwc client supports multiple relays at this point.
and the implementation like in the spec would have issues because of underlaying query parsers.

The German federal police just executed a major, concerted crackdown on non-KYC exchanges:

afaik those are default of the shelf components.
one has to assume any device is compromised - this just became more obvious.
yeah, it sucks that hardware is just so extremely hard.
I admire them for doing it and always feel like I need to support them and such projects more in those efforts by buying the products. - so high5 that you did it!
did you try other similar projects?
whatever you are comfortable with using.
here the goal was to use the coinos wallet with the alby account.
you can also check the alby extension that would work the, too
@npub1h2q…w8ch do you plan to implement the other NWC functions, too?
no, nothing is required. it's a standalone app that has everything it needs. resource usage is also very limited (it loads the blockchain data through a block explorer API)
True. hmm, that spec needs to be updated there. because if more than one is provided then it should be an array imo relay[]=xxx&relay[]=yyy
otherwise different parsers interpret it differently.
At the same time multiple relays add some complexity for apps and wallets. so far all NWCs used one relay afaik.
I personally doubt that relays for NWC are the weak link in the chain and need redundancy that the event is published to multiple ones.
Also considering privacy and that those are no "normal" events.
Do you know why nostr.mom seems to not work for NWC events?
Define "better". Apparently, it removed bunker sign-in (which I need), and I'm also not interested in that relay.
What's the current state of NIP-17 support?
I'm considering implementing it for Kosmos account notifications, but AFAICS the client I use (noStrudel), which is jam-packed with other features, doesn't support it yet. 🤔
Feels wrong for a new implementation to use the deprecated NIP-04 with zero metadata privacy.
@npub1h2q…w8ch does not support all NWC functions, yet. So far only sending and loading the balance I think.
Is open hardware becoming more important?
like https://mntre.com
I've debugged this and there seems to be an issue with the @npub1kva…tkzv NWC URL.
Minibits adds multiple relays (e.g. relay=wss://relay.minibits.cash&relay=wss://relay.primal.net&relay=wss://relay.damus.io&relay=wss://nostr.mom ) This is not as the spec describes it and I think also different client implementation interpret this differently.
Our implementation here uses the last relay and this one seems to not respond to a NWC request.
@npub1kva…tkzv I recommend to only use one relay now.
(We as Alby also operate a NWC optimized relay that we offer.)
why did I not know about it? hmmm.
should we get better at non-digital far distance, mass-communication somehow? or what can we learn?
do you want to help and try Alby Hub there?
https://github.com/getAlby/CasaOS-AppStore/tree/main
when you use phoenixd then you need to refer to how phoenixd works: https://phoenix.acinq.co/
phoenixd writes some data that contains the seed and channel data.
Alby Hub is just using the phoneixd API - it can not know anything about the seed or similar. That's the same when you use LND.
In those cases Alby Hub just does API calls to those services.
I think Phoenixd is a bit different to the phoneix mobile app but I don't know the details. You best need to talk to ACINQ and their support for more clarity.
We have some scripts to install phoneixd but for support and details about phoenixd one has to talk to acinq.

we open up further soon and we are constantly sending out waitlist invites.
if you have an account you can also invite your friends directly.
I am not sure how Tor comes in here. The relay accepts Tor connections. The Hub itself does not have any Tor built in. So we can’t connect to other Tor only lightning nodes currently and if somebody wants to run the hub interface behind Tor then it would need to be separately configured as a hidden service.
But I think only the relay is typically relevant, isn’t it?
where? in the extension? maybe just change the names there in the settings?
did start9 stop the app? did start9 restart?
this is up to phoenixd and phoenixd only writes that files to disk. the user needs to backup those files.
we can also not make those available in the albyhub UI as phoenixd does not expose it. (same as it is in LND)
if you want a more simple setup then use only albyhub with the embedded node.
You have been a great help to get the Hub out and usable. Thanks for the patience and feedback early on! 🙏
do you have a screenshot for me?
We have Alby Go already in the @npub10r8…t2p8 it's the easiest mobile app to use Bitcoin on the Go. Built for the Hub (and NWC).
we'll get there. but if you ask on nostr you should find somebody with an invite already.
they do that intentionally for security reasons.
A certain someone sent a mainnet Ark payment to a @npub1k0s…x3tg Lightning address today.

You still can use NWC with Minibits connecting to apps I think. Don't know why this doesn't work but will find out!
You should serve the LNURL endpoints with CORS headers, so that Web clients can fetch invoices.
Is Minibits online when you do this? Meaning, you mobile app is open?
Both Minibits and Alby Hub are NWC wallets/nodes - they can connect to apps, but no to each other

what exactly do you try? where do you enter it?
do you have minibits open?
It would look something like this:

Phanpy renders it inline, when you add the URL of another post to the content of a post. I guess the bridge doesn't do that.
(There is no Phanpy instance, it's just a client for whatever Mastodon instance you want to connect to.)
I think they're coming in 4.3 or 4.4. But most other fediverse software, including alternative Mastodon clients like e.g. Phanpy, already support quote posts.
Alby Go is coming! - it's the most easy mobile app to use Bitcoin on the Go!
Help @npub1m0s…gcru with to continue doing some magic to make channel opening easier for users.

Similarly, for a new key, how can your peers trust it in the first place? The only way is to announce your key outside of the system, via a medium/transport that your peers are willing to trust.
The WoT can only prove other people's trust in a key, but not who currently controls it. In fact, the moment someone else gets a hand on your private key, the WoT still proves trust in that key being yours, until you somehow notify your peers, so they can revoke that trust. But how are you going to do this within the system, if there are no means for sub keys and key rotation in the first place?
send me some negative feedback on Alby Hub. What do we need to fix asap for you?
Looking for about 2 people who would like to have a 15m chat with me and test a prototype of new channel opening flow in Alby Hub.
If you're up to, here's a link to schedule that:

a channel is basically your connection to the payment network.
