To have have incoming connections (and channels) we need to be connectable in the internet, but when running at home we usually do not have a fixed IP address, and exposing our public home address is dangerous for several reasons. Having Alby Hub connectable via TOR would solve this problem. We could then increase inbound liquidity without having to pay for it, and even have a public node routing transactions.

It would be nice if there was some sort of warning that your backups weren't properly setup(channel backups) that was very blatant and on the main page at all times. Also, you can view your static channel backups at getalby.com/backups, but there are no direct links for that in your profile settings at getalby.com/settings. It would be nice if you saw that in your web settings too. Also, I don't see anywhere to see your VSS backups, so including that info on your web profile settings would be helpful.

It would be great if I could switch from BTC to card payments for my Hub subscription.

I would like to have the ability to backup my keys on a self hosted Alby hub and with that be able to recover my onchain and lightning bitcoin just like you are able to do with Alby hosted hubs.

A lot of recurring payment requests for things like streaming shared among a group are in dollars. Would love the ability to send $10/month in sats to someone based on current exchange rates at the time of payment. Currently don’t have this ability with a sats only input.

When opening a channel using on-chain the fee is set too low ~1 sat/vb this causes the channel to hang waiting for confirmations. There's no RBF to adjust it and it can take 14 days to confirm. Also, how to recover when this happens isn't in any faq. Using Alby Hub v1.16. Can we get a setting for high/medium/low fee, manual or rbf please? Note - alby hub is awsome! :)

I can already increase the balance of sub-wallets in Alby Hub. I would like to be able to decrease the balance, too.

It's very tedius to keep Alby-Hub online when a machine restarts. there should be an "unattended setup" where Alby Hub can be resumed if the machine or docker instance reboots. maybe by adding a smart session token

As described in the title, would be great to have an Woocomerce plugin to sell physical products. I know that the Bitcoin Lightning publisher for wordpress plugin lets sell digital content, maybe improve it also for physical products would be good idea. Thanks Alby <3!

Most nodes (including the mobile "node-in-the-phone" providers like Phoenix and Zeus) allow the user to configure a maximum routing budget. When sending larger payments, the option to increase the maximum budget makes it easier to find a route. In Alby Hub, payments over 500K sats fail rather frequently (even with plenty of outbound liquidity to multiple channel partners/LSPs). With the freedom to control routing fees, this would hopefully be less of an issue.

Please remove "Get started with your Alby Hub" Step 5, "Support Alby Hub" for people who subscribed for Pro or Cloud.

I host Alby Hub on a Start9 server and the only way I can connect remotely is via Tor Browser. TB doesn't save cookies, so every time I load my Alby Hub I have to go change the settings. I would love for Dark Mode to be the default, or some way to have it load the settings automagically that doesn't involve cookies.

I would like to set a name for my Alby Hub node to be visible on lightning network explorers like 1ML or Amboss. Today I only see unknown or the pubkey.

My node is backed up every night. A backup will take an hour or more.

This lead to receiving a mail "Your Alby Hub is still offline — Log in to wake it up" every morning.

Sure, best solution is to reduce down-time of my node.
But if that is not possible it would be nice to have some "Expected offline-time" option in my settings.

I´d like to make my own internal labels in each tx (incoming and outgoing) to improve the historic utility

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!
