Here are screenshots of my GetAlby account, as well as my self-hosted Alby Hub. My sats are all gone since the connector closed earlier today. If I had any control over it I would at least see my balance still there(my wallet was not actually in my self-hosted hub). Nostr was my first experience with Lighting wallets, and it was way more complicated than Bitcoin. This has not been a good experience, yet I still have my Bitcoin. Right now, I'm thoroughly unimpressed with the Lightning network (or at least the connectors). It certainly does not inspire me at all go want to go deeper into it. Because it is complicated, I don't know why/who/where it went wrong. All I know is, I did nothing to it today, and I have 0 sats now. Someone must have my sats now. There is no way I'm paying for another connector to connect 0 sats. image image

check the node page on the alby hub. there you see channels, on chain balance, etc. if a channel is closed for whatever reason it means that the funds become onchain available again. (lighting is the second layer to transact instantly) that 0 is the spendable balance in lightning. I know it’s sadly still more complicated than plain onchain or some custodial service that does it for you or some service like paypal… but that’s the properties of lightning. all has upsides/downsides.
