What did we learn from the
@Alby outage? If you’re using AlbyHub and self hosting your Lightning wallet, you can still lose access to your funds. You don’t lose your funds, so that’s a plus. But, you can lose the ability to access your funds. I recommend always having a coupe of avenues available for accessing your lightning sats. Here’s my recommendation:
1.) if you’re running a node, spin up an instance of
@npub155m2...dcvg This provides you with a truly self sovereign way of handling your lightning wallet.
2.)
@OVO as a backup, but a custodial solution
3.)
@Wallet of Satoshi also a custodial, but worth holding on to you can get it.
While
@Alby is cool, easy, and I’ll continue to use it. Just remember 2=1, 1=0, and 3>2. 🤙🏻
