I love Alby. Didn’t even know people were getting panties in a bunch about something. Got a TLDR?

Just got Alby’s email about officially ending their custodial wallet service in January. End of an era. Can’t really justify the cost of Alby Hub or running fully self-custodial just for zaps though.

CoinOS is the new Wallet of Satoshi, but better! And alby is cool for the tech savvy or business owner, but not for the pleb who just wants to zap and be zapped on nostr
Everyone thinks they're being rug-pulled into a subscription; they don't understand the ease with which you can add alby hub to a node you run yourself and have nothing change
As I am biased I should leave it up to others to reply, but it's only:
We want users to move to a self-custodial Alby Hub (as you already have used afaik). Our full focus is on Alby Hub and we think it's ready and easy to use.
Old, legacy users which use the shared Alby node will have to switch. (as it has been for all new users since 2024)
my panties are only in a bunch if i see react code one more time 😂
