Pretty stoked after my day with @Alby Hub. Managed to get everything set up to my liking. Now any lightning txs that go to btcsessions@getalby.com will go directly to my self custodial lightning node purring away on my @npub126nt...e9ll. I was also able to seamlessly link all of this to @ZEUS on my phone.
I've got some editing to do, but the tutorial will show how to use the cloud hosted option first, followed by a full self sovereign setup on your own hardware. Looking forward to releasing this one.

very excited about this 🧡
Looking forward to it
I am absolutely stoked about this! Can't wait for the video!
I’m going to sent this video to everyone I know in the podcasting 2.0 community since so maybe apps use Alby.
Can’t wait! Will be a good one.
Looking forward the self hosted video
Alby go is impressive as well.
Looking forward to this one
Looking forward to it!
Me too!
❤️
I need this tutorial please for self hosted….
I’m stuck on step 1 “open channel” LOL
This will be great. We need more tutorials. From my perspective, lightning is the most difficult piece to self host in a usable and friendly way.
did you get to play with the Uncle Jim options?
Looking forward to this one too!
I wonder what are the privacy implications of using Albys servers for communications…
Did you try zuespay?
ouuuuuuu that sounds juicy! 👌👌 can't wait.
Will it be 2 hours long?
This is the content I'm here for. TY Ser.

Nice! Does it have to be an @alby address? I’ve applied for one but there seems to be a long waitlist 🥲
I’m just done with my setup and it’s working perfectly!
Thank you. I can't wait to see the tutorial. Are you covering Alby Go mobile app too?
Can't wait.

Alby Hub made it 10x easier to run a lightning node from home. Thank you for making a video turltorial. 😀
Stoked!
Nice

I wasn’t able to set up Zeus!
This alby hub option is very well done, go for it, there will always be time to get Zeus working later
Is it a monthly fee or one time?
There’s monthly and free! Check the tutos on YT
Brilliant thank you for the link!!
Ditto. Running on !POP_OS though. I'll very likely upgrade down the road after kicking the tires a bit more.
Looking forward to your review.
⚡️🤘
Must be nice to get that one on one help.
ready for this one.
ready for this one.
I didn't have anyone helping, I was just experimenting and learning alone in my office. Although @Tomek ⚡ K was kind enough to answer some questions I had a few days ago.
My experience with @Alby has been great thus far. I think they are heading in the right direction with the hub approach. Building bridges for sure.
Hey Dr Stacker, feel free to join our Open Hours programme! :) We meet with users on support calls but also we host special Onboarding Sessions to Alby Hub!

Mine too, just having some issues getting it to work with stacker.news and wavlake.com

Isn't balance liquidity and management difficult on lightning?
It can be if you over-complicate it. I've found having fewer but larger channels makes things WAY easier. As long as you know your general habits (if you expect to receive or send more often) then you're all set and can act accordingly.
i think an updated tutorial on balancing channels with whatever tools are available now would be very helpful especially since alby has gone self custodial
Have you done a video on how to balance one's lightning channels, and what to be aware of...?
