I think one day soon that’s going to be like saying the worst way you can start your journey is using a high level language instead of assembly or straight binary

Hmm. You don’t even have to read or understand the code when you do true vibe coding, but you do need to learn how to write a good prompt, and maybe that’s hard without dev knowledge. Genspark.ai for example you don’t need a local setup. It’s great!

2025-04-13 05:41:17 GMT

I can see this happening with AI agents and MCP (custom tools/plugins for your AI agent). All you need is an interface to an AI agent and then it has all these tools it can use to compose anything you need. There's already MCP servers for NWC and Nostr. Although very basic, they allow you to interact with these tools with natural language. Right now when I use it I get text, but soon the AI can build the most user-friendly interface based on the data / requirements?
It's kind of a scary but also exciting thought - the end of traditional websites and applications as we know them, but to be replaced by a much more efficient and modular way, through thousands of small tools that the AI can choose from and use together to solve a particular request.

I just vibe-coded TODOstr with 3 prompts and no code manually added or modified: https://github.com/rolznz/todostr
Which however is not one of your ideas, but contains the main nostr + lightning requirement (sign and post notes using alby extension, ability to zap people's notes).
(See my reasoning why I made a TODO app, mainly I was low on time and Memestr original request is a bit more complicated - mainly image generation and uploads, WoT)
This prompt is quite a good base though and could be modified and expanded to actually implement one of your initial ideas.
My workflow is committed, including my initial prompt idea, my refined prompt (much more detailed), and two follow-up prompts, and the entire AI conversation.

2025-04-10 03:57:02 GMT

MCP for your AI chat is like a USB plug for your computer. It allows the LLM to interact seamlessly with different tools, where the credentials can be stored locally and inaccessible by the AI itself. For example the @npub19hg…yv9p MCP server: https://github.com/getalby/nwc-mcp-server that allows you to interact with your lightning wallet using natural language, while not having access to the NWC connection secret.
NWC is kind of similar that it exposes a set of tools an app can use. The app doesn't need to understand how multiple different wallet APIs work any more, instead it only needs to understand one, NWC. And then instantly your app can be connected to by any NWC-compatible wallet.

2025-04-09 03:48:34 GMT

I'm doing some vibe coding - if you have any idea for an app with lightning payments (a simple app) and maybe I will build and share it!
Now we can build lightning powered apps with very little effort. As development barrier goes down building on top of lightning normal people will see the huge benefits of using bitcoin and lightning instead of Stripe/Paypal etc.

You can take the latest channel backup from your vm (inside the hub work directory/ldk/static_channel_backups) and use it in the hub-recovery tool on our GitHub along with your recovery phrase. Then you will recover the sats on-chain.

2025-03-12 18:38:01 GMT

- reply

Unfortunately if you started a new self hosted hub with only the seed phrase, it’s not enough to recover the funds from open channels. If you connected your Alby Account we might have an encrypted backup of your channels, or if you still have your old files from before you tried to migrate, you might be able to recover those funds

Did you do a full re-scan of your wallet?

2025-03-11 03:03:52 GMT

- reply

It seems like it could be an issue with your LQwD channel. Are you able to open another channel with a different LSP in the meantime?
In case you are happy to share further details so we can debug it, it would be great if you can email [email protected]

2025-03-11 02:50:48 GMT

- reply

What LSP do you have? Which wallet did you try to send a payment to your hub from?

2025-03-05 11:41:23 GMT

- reply

What do you mean by "Logged Out"? you can be "logged out" of the UI but Alby Hub is still running. You can check if the page says "Start" or "Log in". Logging in just gives you access to the UI.
How do you know your lightning address is not accessible? did you try to pay yourself? can you contact Alby Support next time it happens so we can debug it?

2025-03-05 11:38:32 GMT

- reply

Where do you see port 8033? For standard Linux we use 8029 which as far as I know is unassigned, but we did change it from 8080 several months back due to the chance of a conflict. https://github.com/getAlby/hub/blob/master/scripts/linux-x86_64/install.sh#L74
But, Alby Hub would not work at all if the port was already in use, so I doubt this is the issue that cryptowolf is seeing.

Most Alby Hubs are self-hosted so I don’t think it’s easy to run a mint over http. That’s what NWC fixes

2025-02-26 08:40:44 GMT

- reply

They force you to use a custodial wallet or run your own mint, I think? NWC allows for both custodial and non-custodial wallets.

@npub18kz…x5sz Alby almost has a simpler version of NWA implemented for Alby Go. Flash wallet is also interested. We are getting there!

We are also working with @npub1xnf…lpr5 to enable automatic extensions of channel duration. This should help, but will take some time to implement.

This is Alby Hub’s second-most wanted feature after Bolt12
Anyone want to contribute? It’s open source, no nostr knowledge needed, just add a CLN implementation of our LNClient interface (already multiple implementations to look as a reference)! #note17lx…5uwm

You can open (and later close) a lightning channel with just 2 onchain transactions. You can then do thousands or even millions of payments on that channel. This is a huge block space optimisation while maintaining self-custody ⚡️ #note1gmw…hcg2

0.0.125. LDK-node just released a hotfix release that updates LDK to 0.1. I will see if we can get it into Alby Hub 1.14.0

Alby Hub currently doesn’t store a nostr private key and is only for payments right now, not social (although we are considering nsecbunker support)
To import a nostr private key into the Alby Extension, open the popup and click the dropdown on the top right. When you open that, you should see your currently selected wallet and a settings icon on the right hand side. From there you can get to the nostr settings

I think the script was updated and you need to give the hub access to bind port 80. No need to roll back.
sudo setcap CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE=+eip /opt/albyhub/bin/albyhub

Hi! Our experience on Raspberry PI Zero has been a bit mixed and it is still quite experimental. I would probably recommend to start from scratch if you are ok to open a new channel. You can run two hubs connected to the same Alby Account, but you can only receive lightning address payments to one of them.

This is why DM integration is harder than expected. But thanks for the feedback, maybe we can find a way to easily add it if we see more usage of ZapPlanner
