This @Alby is some bullshit. All my sats just went pof, cant log into hub, cant restore hub, cant do nothing. 400usd I had there. If you want this wallet to restore or whatever the fuck. You can have it for fucking free, I’m done with this shit. Lightning up my fucking ass is what it is. Hit me up and I’ll give you the seed phrase and backup file from the node. I’m too stupid to do shit with this and I am not wasting any more time with this. Way to go, make an application that makes me feel so fucking stupid that I’m just giving away hundreds of dollars just to be rid of it. #alby #asknostr #freesats4u #btc #lightning

Bitcoin Daddy is not amused when the government tries to stop him from smoking lightning. He is the OG daddy cool. Just look at him. He was once arrested for having too much swag, can you belive that? But they had to let him go because he was too cool for the heat. Badumtsss! Just going to make an update on yesterday’s rant. I have not looked at notifications, I was in such a mood, still am, but it’s looking a lot brighter and I’m not ready to be distracted. My brain finally decided to join the mission to get my albyhub back online. I got backups of key and nwc for albyhub. I wanted to nuke the whole thing and just add the backups to a fresh OS. I could do that and it might work, but that would be very reckless when I can just flash to another sdcard and add the backups there. Save the first sdcard incase it doesn’t work, at least then I can fallback to fixing the original. Or if I could figure out how I broke it, maybe I won’t do it again? big maybe. This hub was working fine so I’ve been fixated on trying to get this one to work again, since it was working, should be able to get it to work again? It never struck me to just make another… Crossing my fingers, if it works, and if I didn’t manage to transfer all my sats to the wrong address I’ll be zapping like Zeus in no time. Probably going to be some time, but at least I’m still trying, been feeling like giving up so many times already. #nostr #alby #albyhub #zap #btc #lightning

Well I’ve been having the worst experience. Trying to get in on with @Alby Setting it up albyhub on raspberry pi, transferring funds, trying to open a channel, thinking I made a mistake, I opened another thinking I could just close as the funds were, after all within tx alby wallet, or so I thought. I got no confirmation on «close channel», but I got the option to redeem Onchain Funds, this was very poorly explained so I thought it would redeem from the transfer address from the channel tx, really it asked for the address I wanted it redeemed to, I was idiot I know, but there was no indication that funds would be transferred out of my possession. So I managed to transfer all my redeemed funds out of my wallet without knowing this is what this function would do. Not receiving funds back on close channel I thought maybe I needed to add receiving balance so I opened an invoice to «pay with another wallet», I thought this invoice would pay the fee and place the rest in my saving account, I was an idiot again, transferred to much for the invoice to registrer so now the sats just sitting there in there invoice address, did not increase my «receiving capacity», the payment has to be exact, again I did not know this and there was no indication it had to be exact. Then my albyhub started acting up, disconnecting not allowing me to reconnect. So I update raspberry and albyhub, now I cannot even unlock my wallet, can only ssh into raspberry, albyhub.service fails, updating albyhub and rebooting only freezes the raspberry when alby starts running. I lost more than 500k sats trying to get this running. Now they are telling me that if I cannot unlock my albyhub, I cannot retrieve any funds I still might have. I dont think I have any funds left, to me it seemed all my channel funds was transferred out of my wallet with the redeem function. I asked them to look at my blockchain transactions to confirm this, but they are either not looking, or not telling. Like they could just look at the transaction and see what happened with the redeeming of funds… So then I’m thinking they are not telling because they see the funds are lost and don’t to come and be outright like yeah, those coins are gone, sorry for inconvenience. I got fucked trying to wrap my head around this and If you’re an idiot like me. I would not recommend. I know this amount is not a lot, but to me as a student - I could’ve easily lived off this for a month or two. GetAlby? I feel like I got rekt. I’ve been robbed at gunpoint and that experience was more pleasant than this. Signing off for now, my albyhub won’t come back online, at this point this is way over my head and I do not know what to do, how to fix, I’m afraid if I try anything else I will just fuck up and lose even more so I’ll stop here. I’m just left with the feeling that lightning wasn’t for me, I thought bitcoin was supposed to be for everyone. I feel like those guys who’s been victim to pig butcherialbycams, like how could you fuck up like that? how stupid can you be? Well I didn’t even need a scammer to lose my coins with alby. #albyhub #getalby #getrekt #alby #damus #lightning #wallet #bitcoin #asknostr #zap #getbroke #mistakesweremade

So what does this do? What should I do? I always wanted a place that wasn’t x or reddit to discuss and share. Who do I follow to learn more about using this kind of social media? Where do I find people of general interest in this space? I don’t have any socials to connect with this so I’m starting blank. #Socialmedia #Damus #noob

I read this beautiful take on bitcoin the other day. My man said that Bitcoin was the mutiny of the competent. If you want bitcoin to go to zero then remove the incentive to mutiny. I took me some time to really get it. Bitcoin might very well be the biggest FU in history. And I support it very much. I also welcome governments in trying to repair athe issues that bitcoin can solve, then we all win. But knowing governments, I’m just gonna keep stacking. #introductions #stackingsats #bitcoin #defi
