My #ablyhub setup sucks. For some reason, I can send zaps but can't receive zaps even though there is enough in/out liquidity in the private channel. I haven't cared enough to understand why and I'm just thinking of dumping albyhub for something better. I'm totally disappointed in lightning so far it seems to be moving towards a different third party who controls everything rather a solution for individuals. Anyway, still kicking the tires on Nostria. You can send zaps here if desired. cadayton@btcpayserver.sytes.net

Yeah I’ve definitely ran into some issues with being able to receive before too. I wasn’t sure how much that was Alby or just something else. It turned out, it was more on the sender’s side with my friend’s coinos wallet. I mean I’ve got no frame of reference as that’s been my only Lightning instance. However I will say I was disappointed to find Alby wants to only offer to swap in or swap out with fees paid to boltz to rebalance the channels. Instead of allowing a circular rebalance between your existing channels. But I found I can do that by managing the same node with Ride the Lightning. I think I’m beginning to grasp Alby hub just tries to idiot-proof lightning by over-simplifying. I’m wondering now if it’s really necessary to keep or if I can manage my node in other ways
