Please, π make an Apple Watch app to receive lightning.
After BlueWallet pulled their lightning receive functionality from the Apple Watch and opted for Onchain only, there is no longer an Apple Watch option to receive lightning.
"make simple plugin system so community can build "friends and family" like apps."
I don't linke self custodial Lightning because the cost and risk to have a 1m sat channel for a bunch of little transactions is way too high. Cashu fixes this which is great that you implemented it.
Fedimint back end would be great. No struggle with expensive channels. I had 3 large >1m sat channels but still failed to send larger payments to my receiver, I want to outsource all of this annoyance to some custodian which should be a federation.
I would like to have a possibility to swap to onchain in Alby Hub. Today i buy Bitcoin, send it directly to Alby and when i haveat least 1 000 000 Sats, i Send it to Muun and then to my Hard wallet
When we close the Alby Hub app on Windows or Linux there should be a warning instead of directly closing the app. Iβve accidentally closed the app a couple of times while closing the other windows.
I want to use specific channel for sending, maybe even for receiving (turn them off/on for a minute)
I run a Mynode at home on my own hardware and it has something called: "lightning terminal" on it. So when I want to "empty" my lightning channels because I stack using lightning. So I constantly need to move to cold storage I just go to the lighting terminal and do a loop out or if I want to top up a channel I do a Loop in. The service is called Loop when I look at the node's status. it's how I balance my channels on that node and it costs a fraction of what a service like boltz costs. Last year I did a loop out of 20 million sats and only paid about 1000 sats on top of the on chain transaction fee. It can even handle looping multiple channels at once.
So that's what I mean when I say loop I first learned about it reading this darthcoin guide
https://darthcoin.substack.com/p/lightning-network-submarine-swaps
and This is I think the loop repository though I have not actually read it
https://github.com/lightninglabs/loop
Hope this helps if there is anything else just let me know
I'm really hope can support FreeBSD platform
Alby Hub doesnt work on Fedora, May be if it is possible to make it available as Flatpak, so it can be possible to installed on any Linus Distrubition without the trouble of missing dependencies.
Some nodes live off the clearnet. It would be nice if there was a way for Alby Hub to be able to connect to those nodes in some way.
As a Hub user I can peer with a publicly reachable node so that this node can open a channel to me.
If I had public IP a node could open a channel to me without me having to peer first.
(based on user feedback)
I have an Isolated Balance for a friend. Both of us receiving notifications about sats received and I can see their transactions.
I would like it to be separated
Alby Hub focus on showing the user the amount of sats, but on the day by day usage people want to know how much that equates in their Fiat currency.
Simply add a configuration to set a default Fiat currency and be able to show users that amount converted.
Equally important is to give users to ability to enter that amount in Fiat and have that automatically converted to sats when generating an Invoice.
For an employee creating an invoice to show to a customer it is not practical have to use an external tool to make the conversion.
I understand you wish to preserve the traditional way to deal with a Node for receiving or spending sats via Lightning Network and eventually funding it via Deposit function via Mainnet, but in the other hand it may be simpler to the user to abstract these two operations, in and out, via Bitcoin mainnet.
So if an user has received a fair amount of sats via Lightning allow him/her to withdraw it more easily to a BTC mainnet wallet and automate all the necessary stuff to make that simpler instead of forcing it to do in and out via Lightning all the time and limited to channel sizes.
This is specially important for merchants or people who receive higher amounts via Lightning not have to worry about channel sizes.
In the hub settings I think I would be neat if we could set a custom block explorer rather than defaulting to mempool.space. People hosting a hub may also be hosting their own block explorer so it would be nice for the to have an option to open to it directly. Even if this was just to work with a self hosted instance of mempool.space.
from user on nostr:
"I use Zeus to view my incoming alby activity. I see expired invoices 80% of the time. "requested payment" and "expired request".
Alby dashboard shows only successful send/receive. No timeouts..."
this
https://boltcardwallet.com/
but with alby not LND
This's one of the important privacy steps for Bitcoin. So, it would be great to have this option.
Majority of my personal use case is getting variable amounts over lightning from people. I really need ability to generate zero amount invoices on Alby Hub to use it. Or if there's any other current way to do it, w/ an app store app or something. I'd be happy to learn.
Thnx.
When withdrawing sats from the Savings Balance to an on-chain address, you can't see or decide what the miner fee is going to be βΒ it doesn't show on the first screen (where you enter amount and address), nor is it on the popup (after clicking Withdraw, to confirm the on-chain transaction).
It's unclear whether the fee is taken from the amount you entered, or from the remaining savings balance.
The uncertainty can be a problem, for example if you're withdrawing to a Boltz atomic swap or similar, where you should send an exact amount of funds. Not knowing the fee (or where it's spent from) means you can't know how much money is actually going to the destination.
It would be helpful to see the fee at minimum, but ideally we would be able to set the miner fee based on existing fee rate and personal preference around time-sensitivity.
Thank you team π
