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.
I'd like to use my Hub (via Go, or directly) to sign in to Stacker News and other platforms that use it.
I've noticed after upgrading or restarting my Alby Hub, that if I do not log into my Hub to "unlock" it, the Alby extension did not work properly. I solved this with https://gadgeteer.co.za/how-to-test-if-a-self-hosted-alby-hub-wallet-is-connected-and-to-get-an-alert-if-not. But I now see there was a NIP-07 error on one client and I needed to "review my wallet connection". This is all causing my wallet to be offline for day's on end without any warnings. Can something be done to alert us if a wallet needs attention?
f.e.: derivation paths, seed type (aezeed/BIP39) etc.
I can still login to Alby cloud hub and have my isolated wallet active in the Alby browser extension. I will see the message of a new version, but when clicking to update it shows instructions for non-cloud hubs. I would expect a message that I am there with a isolated cloud account and should ask the manager to update, or just being able to update as I already was logged in with the password of the hub (I don't mean the alby account password)
"Im so confused by the Alby Hub. How do i see what is in the main hub wallet. It shows me everything in every wallet. So when I top up XYZ's Isolated wallet it just puts it right back in my hub wallet. Is there some balance that is actually only associated with the main hub wallet? I feel like the hub should not be it's own wallet it is very confusing."
Casually I was clicking around to see the features and landed on the backup. That I did on the first time. I don't know why, I decide to check the words, and found out that I put one of the words out of the correct sequence.
My fault, but...
I'm aware of the issues, and use a password manager, with a backup strategy.
In order copy the words to the password manager, I need to select, copy and paste one by one. Somewhere during this process, I selected a wrong one and paste out of sequence.
I understand, the reason of this, single selection is to force people to go one by one and not loose the key.
But, not sure is really better than allowing to select all and paste to a password manager, correctly.
The payment channels partners seem to have limits on how many sats can flow at once, and we need to be aware of those limits unless we'll all just going to use this for small amounts (zaps). If yes, then my Phoenix wallet will be a better use in my opinion.
Please let the channel partners increase the sat bandwidth for us.
Hide balances on
As a beginner user I don't know what should I put there
You can see the transaction details of funding channel opening, but closing is not there
One of the ideas of the hub is that I can have family accounts. They should be able to manage their own NWC connections for their nostr clients, lightningpiggy and so. Thank you :-)

Sorry, I am new to this, but I can't find a way to see how much money I've contributed to each V4V podcast.
Thanks
Friends&Familly is a great solution.
But we found one small problem
If something goes terribly wrong with Alby Hub , of course I get my funds back when channels are closed.
But balances who has how much are lost and I don't know how to distribute funds back.
The pricing page indicates "custom nostr addresses" are part of the Alby Hub subscription, presumably referring to NIP-05 addresses.
It would be pretty cool if Alby were able to provide custom npubs, using something like Rana to "grind-mine" a vanity npub for users who don't have the tech chops to do it on their own.
Definitely a "nice to have" rather than a necessity, but thought I'd drop the idea here, in case it's an easy lift.
I have automated backups set up already, but an export feature in the GUI for connection backups would be handy
It would be great if u can implement a way for us to see how much we spend on different categories like restaurants, groceries , transportation etc
Basically a way for us to budget and see how much we spend on what.
Also would be good if we can put a description on what we bought using Alby Go
