Dear @Alby, can you please recommend how I, being in the US, can go about funding my wallet? I am running AlbyHub and am stuck on step 3 'Send or receive your first payment'. The wallet is linked in my Alby extension, there is just no balance. I have on-chain BTC as a funding source. Also, why wouldn't others be able to zap me in Primal? If the channel is opened, shouldn't it be accepting zaps? Do I have to have a balance in order to receive zaps? I have my getalby.com address configured in the NIP-05 setting, but nothing in the "Bitcoin Lightning Address" - is this ok? It would be cool if you guys had a Discord server for support.

They actually spent an hour one day with me on a zoom call... They're awesome. Primal uses their own wallet, so it's probably something along those lines... What's your ⚡ address Fr m getalby, I'll send it some sats...

received, thank you! that actually was able to get the albyhub to move off of step 3 and after backing up my seed, I've finally completed the setup! so was that sent as a zap on one of my posts or? Primal doesn't seem to have recognized it, if so.

not sure you can use that GetAlby address as a nip05, that requires a different setup, and pretty sure it's not part of their service. delete it and try without

So I took the liberty of looking at what issues you could be having by searching that lightning address, and it appears you have no wallet connected to that Alby Account? The Alby Account gives you a free lightning address (and other perks). But you need to have a wallet linked to it. You can either any NWC wallet, or you can link an Alby Hub (our new wallet). I'll leave you some links for you to find out more about the whole thing, feel free to ask us more on discord. https://guides.getalby.com/user-guide/v/alby-account-and-browser-extension/alby-account/link-wallet

just try to put a different "username" in there? I'd take the Primal dev, but can't recall off tge top of my head his username. or you can get a nip05 from nostr.plebs
