Congrats on the launch πŸš€ ⚑️
So, is it a normal BTC on-chain wallet and if connected to, let's say, Primal.net you can zap straight from that wallet, instead from a Lightning address?
Wow, an LN node that can sign in to several nostr applications and website. I always use it when using a browser on desktop. Wen supports ecash, or make mint ? 😁
2 channels are enough to go on the zapping spree. You can just get them from a LSP in the app or open a custom one as a pro user.

Hi and congratulations - Alby Hub really looks magical πŸ‘€πŸͺ„πŸβœ¨πŸ‘πŸš€! Unfortunately, I will need some time to change my setup. Two questions please: 1. Can you tell us/me when you will sunset the "free custodial wallet"? 2. Do you recommend to remove the Sats from there now? image
Another tool for our Bitcoinization of our personal and commercial lives is now available. Adding an important stair for many to step on when climbing towards becoming 1st Class Bitcoin Citizens by running fully Self-Hosted nodes. An alternative to Voltage, that integrates with your browser and Nostr. This tool can empower many on their journey to self-sovereignty over their entire data storage and communications tool stack.
