alby was suspicious when it first asked for an email address
You just killed your business. GTFO here with your "this setting is for you" bullshitcoinery.
be honest: did you even read or look what you can do there or what it means? Do you guys really have a problem that people who have/use shitcoins can more easily use a bitcoin lightning wallet?
So you don't want to use a wallet because it links to a swap service? A link that should make it easy for people to get on bitcoin and use bitcoin? And your reaction is spreading FUD? meh,... sad.
so they must not use bitcoin? or swap to bitcoin? and you scream lies because of a link to a swap service to topup a bitcoin wallet?
Too broad from the announcement it leads you to believe it was a built in mechanism but if it’s just a link.. idk not as bad as a built in solution if it’s a 3rd party link.. uh not a prob for me, maybe a prob for existing customers.. hopefully there’s better communication that announcement wasn’t it
You offer a way out for shitcoiners. You perpetuate the use of shitcoins by making it easy for shitcoiners to use them in Alby. Please do not insist with this stupidity ! You are making a fool of yourself more. If you really want Bitcoin to succeed, you must stay focused on Bitcoin and do not give any chance to any shitcoin to exist. Who wants to use shitcoins, is their problem how, BUT DO NOT HELP THEM.
Please STOP coming with excuses for supporting shitcoins! Make people to EARN bitcoin. By helping idiots to get rid of their shitcoins, somebody must give away their sats. You are literally helping shitcoins liquidity. Make them eat their shit !
how do people get on bitcoin? are services like robosats and swap services bad for bitcoin? and still alby hub is a bitcoin lightning only wallet. period. all it does it links to apps where you can use/spand bitcoin and also swap bitcoin. please again show me the exact problem you have in the wallet. what should be removed? what is the problem? To me it still seems you did not even open Alby Hub.
So you don't know what the actual features are but this is your reaction? There are some bitcoin builders building bitcoin only software for years and you shit on the work because you think something leads you to believe something? You even share a screenshot where only bitcoin can be seen and say something about shitcoins being built in?

You are talking to a dude with a Pepe avatar who is a neo-Nazi and you expected them to be reasonable lol
No, I did not. I reacted. I don't want Shitcoins in an app I rely on. If it's just a link to do swaps as I said below then your newsletter over sold the feature. If it's just a link then the core functionality is not impacted. Thanks for letting me know. I'll look into it before I make a decision.
this is my concern too. pointing to an external swap is ok if really necessary, but if core functionality is at all integrated with shitcoinery, it's inherently poisoned. I know alby has a history of taking a hard stance against shitcoins so I'm not concerned, at least until I see a reason to be
hm, sounds like you're hard to please. 😉 Do you think onramps and swap services are evil shitcoin stuff? but please maybe first check and give us constructive feedback what you like and need. would be nice if you could share a screenshot of the feature you don't like.
Yeah agree!! I'd rather use the service you're providing darth!! Waiting for it. . . . . Oh. You didnt offer any did you 😬 Just chill man. You're incredibly valuable to the plebs with your guides and help, despite your toxicity. You don't HAVE to be destructive.
So any onramp an exchange is evil shitcoinery? Who of you is 100% on bitcoin and touches zero shitcoins (that includes physical paper money or card payments etc.) and who knows really no person who could benefit from making it easier to get bitcoin in a bitcoin wallet? Do we really want to be that closed? and maybe try to keep it constructive. I wish generally there would be more collaboration to improve things among bitcoiners and less fighting each others.
Bitcoin it is today where it is exactly because of toxic people like me. You do not have to ask for my "services". build your own services. Is not your damn business what services I offer because I offer my LN bank services only to specific users that I know IRL.
Show me what you don't like. just show me, pretty please.. Did you close all your channels and shut down Alby Hub? Did you run one? I know I should probably not interact with you and this FUD. but I really respect and value your opinion so would be interesting to understand what you don't like and how it can be better.
What do you not like? Can you share a screenshot? Is the link to some onramp services to make it easier for people that much of a problem for you? How do you onramp to bitcoin?
So you never touch non bitcoin? when buying food/gas/housing/anything you need? or do you swap with shitcoins (which includes paper money) And you don't have any friends who do?
I stopped using Coinbase years ago because they supported Shitcoins, but I use Gemini for bitcoin back on credit card purchases. I know many Bitcoin Maxis that do this. I guess we determined that this use case out weighed the downsides to supporting them. I'll need to see this for myself.
Yes I've run an Alby Hub, self-hosted. After I saw the email newsletter announcing this crap, I don't even update it, just remove it. Also removed the Alby browser extension and Alby Go. I will not use an app that support shitcoineries. This post consider it as a warning, even that you intent to add shitcoineries. The only swap that should exist in Alby Hub is swap between onchain and LN channels. That's all. You have been warned. Bitcoiners do not tolerate anymore these stupid things.
Why only to people you known IRL? Is it maybe because, if you offered it as a bitcoin business seeking to be profitable YOU MIGHT NEED TO GET CREATIVE ABOUT HOW PEOPLE TOP UP THEIR ACCOUNTS? 😂 The world is not ready to earn bitcoin. Only a few individuals are in such a glorious position. You're bashing Alby because they are being pragmatic about the chicken and egg problem. If you're not gonna offer a similar service then be constructive. And if you have the balls to require people to EARN bitcoin - then have the balls to create a company that puts you in a position to actually employ people and then pay them in bitcoin.
Bumi it clearly says stable coins and other cryptocurrencies, even if it’s a ramp or whatever it’s still shitcoinery Also all I ever said about this before our convo was, “das cray” “well well well” and “glad I’m not using it anymore” also “what’s his solution?” In reply to Derek Idk why you’re mad at us when you guys clearly either communicated very poorly with this announcement or made the wrong decision to create that ramp when claiming to be a Bitcoin only business
