Last Notes npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi wasm đ± đââĄïž npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi You should not needs to constantly manage stuff for sure. Once in a while when an update must be deployed you need to enter the password to unlock your node. This is because all data and keys are encrypted and are only accessible to you. npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi You do NOT need to have the hub open in your browser and you do NOT need to be logged in there. The node runs, you can close the browser. BUT: if an update needs to be installed or if the node needs to be restarted you need to unlock it with your password by logging in once. In this case you should have gotten an email that you should update your hub (which is a click of a button and then the unlock) and that an update will automatically be deployed after a few days. I hope this explains it? npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi that should be to my USA friends obviously. language matters⊠:) npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi To my American friends today! If there is the slightest chance to free Ross then take it! None of the politicians are the solution. They are the problem. So take the chance to #FreeRossDayOne #FreeRoss https://x.com/Narodism/status/1853764956082381013 npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi how did you do that? npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi https://m.primal.net/LtYx.png npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi https://m.primal.net/LtYk.png npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi generally users are already super confused about nostr, the more options they need to think about the more confusing they find it. npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi I commented on the GH issue. npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi use the Alby extension first before and go troll somewhere else. npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi then youâre already good. sounds like you connected the alby account to your hub and the sats are on your hub. where are you told to migrate? npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi yes, itâs a long way⊠a marathon not a sprit. but weâre all on that one and not in it for the quick win. how should alby support ecash? It has a similar problem as one is not in control over the sats and mints at a certain scale will have issues. (which is my main worry) npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi the extension just has your keys. itâs the clients like primal.net nostrudel, etc. that have the logic and manage follow, profile, etc. so itâs likely in one of those or the relays something is up. npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi which is fine, isnât it? it gets easier, thus the barrier of entry gets lower. and I am convinced more people understand the benefits. it will always be a bit more complicated than giving up everything and put others in control, but more people also understand the benefit of not doing that. I also think that lightning node OGs are a bit burnt, because of the early experience of running a node was so much more complicated. I like the comparison: if you asked early pilots who embarked on the adventure to fly across the ocean they would have that it will never be possible for an average person to cross the atlantic on a plane⊠and here we are. npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi How often did you hear we ask the government in Israel to investigate the incident (how they call war crimes) and then silence and never an update? we need more media tracking those pressuring and informing the public about it. here is one: https://mattmiller.lol/ tracking those the Miller says at press conferences. npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi I am convinced people run nodes, and see how much easier it now already got. backup is still the hard part but we will also solve this. what is the main issue that you think people will not run a node and take control over their funds? npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi You have to move to the Alby Hub - the new wallet for you. you can there choose if you want to connect it to an Alby account or not and run it without it (without ln address and other features then) npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi the fee you probably have there is for your first channel - that is the connection to the lightning network. you get one with a certain capacity through which you then can receive payments. npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi https://idf-tweets-gaza.airwars.org/ npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi best nostr app with podcasting just got an update. #note16y4âŠ957x npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi sadly I was not there... but if you send us an email I'll make sure that we send you some swag! @npub1xtsâŠkk5s looking good. very classy, as always! đ€© npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi I was always a big fan of Matt and I've especially followed it in the early days of WP. Automattic was always an inspiration as a company. - but I haven't followed it in the recent years and I don't know the current drama... my comment was more about developing an alternative solution (on Nostr for example). in a decentralized plugin repository naming and trust is the issue, isn't it? npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi in the end this boils down to the issue of naming and trust, isnât it? who says plugin xyz is the one I want and is not confused with another one that is called xyz? we still did not solve this in a usable and scalable way, did we? npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11X-T51lQrg [...] we see a lot of sovereign nations realizing that the entire international order, as well as international law has been unraveling before their eyes. The amount of power that global powers asserted relating to ICJ, ICC, UN, and that the cease fire recommendations have all been ignored, sent a clear message to the world community that the United Nations has little to no power in regulating any of these international incidents. So a lot of countries are applying for BRICS, not because of the attraction of BRICS as much, but more because of the push from the West away from the current system or the world order we have today. npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi one is not a Bitcoiner if one does not use it. sounds to me youâve been the first bitcoiner there today. npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi đ thanks for your support!! npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi sadly this can currently not be shown. npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tKPXY0icAU npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi would you read those? any idea how to improve it? npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi I've checked the logs on Alby's side and since you've unlocked the node payments seem to work again. Can you confirm this? An email notification has been sent. Do you have suggestions on how to do this better that it does not get missed. To keep up with the latest version we from time to time force updates but send email notifications before that. We will send more of those in the future. Users also can always manually update ideally. Because you own the keys the unlock to start the node with your password is required. npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi is your node started and unlocked? when in doubt log into your hub. did you get an email in the last days? there was an automatic version update scheduled after which you have to unlock your node again (because it is restarted). if this is the case you should have gotten a few emails about it. npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi sometimes updates are shipped, you should have gotten an email about this. when an update is auto-installed then you need to unlock it again (as all data is encrypted) it's recommended to install updates manually from time to time to avoid this. npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi actually it depends (as always)⊠depending on the usecase it is also not too good to spread funds across too many channels. the LSPs should be very well connected. npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi who do you try to zap? this is an error on the recipient side. npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJvfULLGjQE npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi something like this: https://primal.net/e/note1tnm3gl98rylp6quksw6v2cgjz5ze04vtzrj5kq4asruuqgphfx5q9st0ln ? npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvsR9ojQ66E npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi "In the future when we have a museum for this genocide we will have a special place where we put the pictures of the journalists who allowed it to happen.

Do you have a must-do recommendation? thanks đ npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi intersting. thanks. and that error persistes? or does it work now? npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi did you add some big comment or something there? npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi congrats! thatâs amazing! npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi The way lightning works currently both sender and receiver have to be online. so also Alby Hub needs to be online, the easiest is to run it on some device that is always on (or a cloud service) if itâs offline or locked no payments can be made. npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi you need to use Alby Hub - thatâs where the sats are then. Alby Go or your nostr client use the Alby Hub. npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi the official version will be released in the next days. wait a bit. npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi I think we had a node restart sadly. npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi It's hard to integrate in terms of APIs and the usage is not that high. Maybe somebody is up for contributing on this though? npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi yep, alby hub does not work with CLN. there is a NWC plugin for CLN afaik. those could potentially be used. then it works nicely with the extension. but I donât know about the status of that plugin npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi no core lightning. we also actually currently deprecate greenlight and breez. for various reasons but it does not seem there is a clear path to make those generally accessible from. npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi not, yet. but we are in the process of sending invites and opening up. npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi if the hub is offline you can not receive. the payment fails - the sender will get an error. nothing is lost, but you are unable to receive. npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi yes! I thinks those ideas are the exciting ones. with lightning we can do much cooler stuff than just to scan some code and pay. check in at the bar and each drink will just automatically be charged with NWC⊠they will not pay upfront, the bar can request a payment and has a budget⊠(if your bar rugs you then youâre for sure in the wrong bar. I also expect my bar to serve me decent drinks ;) ) npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi alby hub is quite similar. but much easier and more lightweight (with that more stable and more universally usable) also you have more control over app permissions and budget. but quite similar. npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi pssst: https://getalby.com/auth/users/new?invite_code=63ac0e99 npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi why is your hub down? what issue do you see? npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi any relay works. we do some more special stuff in the relay for validation and protection and optimizing for NIP47 but ultimately any relay works. npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi what means disappeared? is your LND node running there properly and is properly synced? npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi I can not speak for BTCPay but I know that there was some debugging going on in regards to how BTCPay subscribes to events. To answer the question about the relay: if the Alby relay is going away you just use a different relay. in that case you will have to reconnect the app (btcpay) to the wallet that you use again. (because the relay is set as part of the connection secret and the app and wallet need to know through which relay they have to communicate) but thatâs the beauty of NWC, it uses the default Nostr infrastructure and no special setup would be needed in that case. npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi thanks! thatâs great to hear. fyi. the official app for the Start9 marketplace is ready soon. npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi hmm. it says 1.8.0 in the UI for you? during the onboarding you should be prompted about the account and also in settings you can now disconnect. btw. 1.9.0 was just shipped. npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi and then this from 1999: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tCC9yxUIdw #note1rmuâŠd26c npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi and then this from 1999: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tCC9yxUIdw npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi After the last update ditto.pub works so nicely with the Alby Extension! thanks @npub1q3sâŠd26p npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi yeah. thanks a lot! very helpful. We need to learn if/how people want to use this. please report more whatever comes to your mind! thanks! npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi you can. or use the cloud version. whatever is a good fit for you. npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi oh nice! sounds interesting! npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi here is an invite: https://getalby.com/auth/users/new?invite_code=b109e189 It will guide you to setup Alby Hub. Let me know if you have questions and feedback. ;) npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi You might need to add your lightning address in the nostr profile - this does not happen automatically. npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi it will allow you to setup your own lightning wallet (Alby Hub) and give you an account with a LN address npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi here is an Alby invite code for you: https://getalby.com/auth/users/new?invite_code=9bf19a5b npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi yes, you can use the wallet in the hub to pay an invoice of a sub account. we have to learn and see whatâs the usage pattern and if/how users want to use it. so thanks for that feedback! npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi just trying to investigate what happened and how it can be improved. so I appreciate that feedback. npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi yes, best is to use then subaccounts for everyone to have this separation. the "main" account will always see everything. npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi I've inspected this further and also chatted with the LSP. You are having a self-hosted hub there, your Alby account is connected. I see a lot of restarts of your hub there. It even looks here like you have started the Alby Hub twice in parallel. I think the hub does not protect against this, yet. But this for sure causes problems due to the nature of how nodes connect and manage state. One channel was closed by your node actually (which indicates that there was an issue running the node). Where do you run this hub? And actually if you don't want or need a self-custodial lightning node, then there is no point in running it. At the state that we and lightning is at there will be some channels involved and an assumption is you want to connect to the network otherwise you would not run it. npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi Alby did not close any channel. Alby Hub recommends LSPs but you do not have any Alby channel. And channel closure issues is something that all lightning teams are working on (LND, LDK, etc.) We put a lot of effort in trying to optimize this - also recommending those LSPs where we know that they work hard on providing good channel availability. That's the state that lightning is still in and can not fully be prevented just yet in a decentralized, diverse network. Alby Hub is also not "logging out" your system might stop/restart it which requires an unlock again to decrypt the data. hope this clarifies some things. if you don't like it, that's fine... - actually the great thing of the open network that people can choose the tool what works for them. :) - just wanted to provide some help/clarification here. npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi it works without Alby's backend! We specifically use NWC in Alby Go as a protocol that directly can talk to your self hosted Alby Hub and in v1.8 you also no alby account is required anymore with the hub. (you might want an account for notifications, ln address, etc. but it is not required.) So Alby Go talks directly to your Alby Hub wherever you host it. npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi any ideas on better texts? (which also seems not to be read) that button explicitly says âopen a channelâ. and not ânextâ or something. the edge case here is a bit that the user has a alby hosted balance which is used instead of showing the invoice QR. we wanted to make this smooth. feedback is also that people donât like complicated long onboarding steps. one-click done. but there is put a lot of work in these processes. feel free to open an issue or PR.. all open source and early versions. npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi thanks for the feedback. seems people donât read the text⊠channel opens are also sadly still hard. and some want one-click and some want big scary second warnings. Itâs open source, ideas and pull requests are also very welcome. everyone works hard on those things to get right for the different cases and users. npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi which LSP did you use? we donât run the LSPs. but this is likely a wrong email. could it be that you tried to open a public channel from a LSP that does not support it? in that case you also did not pay. npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi meh, sorry to hear that. what channels do you have? public or private? with what peer? npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x bumi I was also looking into that one yesterday! pretty cool
