NWC connections, made from the connection section, or from the app section for a particular ap, both have the option of a 10k, 100k, 1M Sat budged, or a "Custom" budged.

Lets add a button there, right next to custom, that is "Support" that will create a nwc connection with a budged of 21 sats, that is to be handed to a support operator of an app. in order to test connections from that wallet.

I would like to chose an indexer of my choice for my node.

Sure, thats not a feature for beginners. But it would be nice to have some expert mode or menu to provide more advanced features like this.

I’d love to see a Channel History feature, similar to the Transaction History, to track when channels were opened or closed.

This history should include:
✅ The channel peer
✅ The TX ID of the closure
✅ Most importantly: The last known balance of sats in the channel

This would help users keep track of their funds, ensuring they know exactly how many sats were in a channel before it closed and what to expect in their on-chain balance after closure. 🚀

Certainty is important when dealing with the hardest money humanity has ever seen.

A node with enough channels will usually have some channels down, making a binary indicator not very useful. If red is it's normal state, it's not an actionable indicator.

Something like a bar gauge that indicates the % of health, on the other hand, would be very useful.

Alby rocks!

Some LSPs allow me to lease a payment channel with receiving capacity for a limited number of months. I would like the option to extend the lease period directly in my Hub without the LSP closing the payment channel and me opening a new one.

Some LSPs let me lease a payment channel with receiving capacity for a limited number of months.
I would like to be notified ahead when the lease term ends.

Can you please give me an individual URL to the Hub, like it used to be some months ago?

I have two Hubs in the Cloud, and I always need to relogin to getalby.com, instead of just bookmarking URL to mine and accessing it from anywhere....

More or less what voltage.cloud has, shared dashboard, access control and such.

I host wallets for some friends and family. I'd love to have their isolated wallets fleshed out with features like LN addresses and backups of account balances.

I would like to request an app for MyNode users. I'm guessing it would be similar to the Umbrel or Start 9 apps. Currently I would have to install AlbyHub separately and every time there is a MyNode update it has the chance of messing up AlbyHub, so I would love to see it officially supported. Please! Thanks!

I want an automatic way to pay my bills directly from my Alby Hub. Whether it's credit card payments, phone bills, or utilities, I wish I can set up as many billers as I need and choose to pay from my bitcoin balance.

I stated this in the Discord, but really it should be here.

Since it's not actually a step required to set up Alby Hub, how about remove it from the onboarding and instead put that “become a supporter” button somewhere on the front page instead? The tactic in use feels sleazy, even if your intentions are pure. It's a really slimy tactic that unfairly preys on those who have the completionist mindset, where if there's a checklist, they must finish it or it'll seriously bug them.

Hi. I would like to back up my onchain wallet seed (I feel I need more security for my funds than just alby-backup). Also, I would like to use the seed in an external wallet, to be able to use my funds freely (on-chain). Is there a way to get the seed?

I'm running self-hosted albyhub. I opened several channels and used them for some time. Now I have all balance in my channels on the other side. How do I do any balancing? I found no tool for that whatsoever. I need the funds to move back to my side.
Thank you for answer.

I’d envision this to be like a matching program for your 401k at work. To encourage saving, it would be great to be able to say that for every 1000 sats the wallet receives, there is a certain percent that is then added automatically. If this is paired with a sending restriction (another feature suggestion), then a subaccount could be an excellent savings vehicle.

For example, if my son wants to get paid part in sats and part in dollars, then the sats would become even more valuable because there would be additional sats added in for the “match.”

I have set up a subaccount for my son. To encourage saving in sats when he is older, I’d love to have the ability to have unlimited receiving capabilities but potentially turn off or limit how much he can send out per day or week to encourage saving.

Automatic fiat/sat amount calculations in Zap Planner:

Bitcoin is a great Store of Value, and increasingly becoming a great Medium of Exchange, much thanks to Alby!

We're not at the Unit of Account phase yet - so it would be great to have automatic sat/fiat amount conversion in ZapPlanner?

Fixed sat amounts will need adjustments as bitcoin goes up in purchasing power, so it would be very useful to have automation in place for this?

When confirming payment in Alby Hub, it would be great to see all the information about that payment, not just the amount. Mainly the receiving address, but also the comment.

I'd love to have some bitcoin on-chain transaction support. This may be my naive of me, but I feel like since it's a Bitcoin wallet, it should be able to do such a thing as well.

I would like to redeem lightning vouchers with Alby Hub

This can be an app for the hub (node, channel & on-chain management) and another one for any NWC wallet.
I created a basic UI demo with Claude available at https://jurjendevries.github.io/bitcoin-automation-ui-demo/

An IFTTT-style automation platform for Bitcoin and Lightning, where users can create simple automations using a "If This, Then That" interface.
Triggers (If This happens): >
Actions (Then do That):

Example use cases:

When receiving >1M sats, automatically split it between 3 addresses
When channel balance drops below 20%, send a Telegram alert
When a specific address receives a payment, forward it via Lightning
When mempool fees are low, consolidate UTXOs
When a Nostr event matches criteria, make a Lightning payment

The goal is to allow users to automate common Bitcoin/Lightning operations without coding, similar to how IFTTT works for web services.

Currently I have to do channel management by hand. I would prefer an (default) option for automatic channel management, because I am not experienced with it, and prefer an easy as possible UX for Alby hub. Have a look at Phoenix which is providing the easiest automatic channel management I have discovered.
