@Marc @Dikaios1517 @The Daniel ๐ I currently run MyNode for hosting my btc and lightning nodes but they don't host AlbyHub. Looking at this and thinking that while it might be a better overall connection experience, the whole thing just got pushed behind a massive friction point - where you either have to pay to host your node or have to host your own. Major deterrent in my opinion. I am massively enthusiastic about joining Nostr, considered tech-savy and I am not having an easy time piecing together the whole ecosystem to then find out that now I basically also have to dedicate some hardware to it - which I am Ok with but its not for the masses. What do you all think?

Trust me, I absolutely feel where you are coming from. It's always a bummer to find out that hardware you already have running doesn't have an easy to run version of software you want to try out. Been there way too often.
@Alby any plans for Alby Hub to be packaged for MyNode like it is for Umbrel or StartOS? Or maybe there is a way to side-load it?
I am not familiar with MyNode. Is the Nostr Wallet Connect app on its own available for that node implementation? If so, that could be a path forward for you. Just doesn't allow for separate sub-wallets like Alby Hub does, so it will have access to your full local Lightning balance. Make sure you set a reasonable budget.
Another option is to use LNBits and the NWC extension that has been created for it. You will need to log into your LNBits as super admin and add the registry found in the below GitHub repo, though, since the extension is not yet available in the main LNBits extension registry.
Aside from the above options, since you're already running a node and there is no point in tying up a bunch more liquidity just so you can zap on Nostr, it might be worth your while to just use a custodial wallet for zapping unless and until there is a version of Alby Hub packaged for MyNode. My recommendation here would be @Mysterious Hamster . Or if you want to try out an eCash wallet, you could go with @Minibits . Both support Nostr Wallet Connect.
