I guess Alby has access to the keys then
Forgive my ignorance, but can a lightning node work properly without access to the keys (I mean while the user is logged out, which would mainly be used to receive LN transactions)?
I know this kind of scheme works well for on-chain stuff, but I was under the impression that LN nodes have a more active role/job (such as monitoring channels and acting when the other end is acting maliciously).
Interesting... lots of new stuff in the Bitcoin World today. I have to find time to experiment all of them. Nevertheless, keep them coming.
This looks promising. Really excited about it.
One question...
Its software can be run by you on a desktop or a server or even on a Raspberry Pi for free, or in the Alby Cloud for 21,000 sats per month. This approach combines the security of self-custody with the convenience of a self-custodial Lightning wallet ready to be adopted by masses.
With Alby Cloud you don’t even need to buy any hardware or code anything - for a fair monthly price you can install Hub with one click, and Alby hosts your Hub for you.
With the cloud hosted option, how is the self-custody ensured? how are the keys "protected" from Alby?
Nice, now lets hope they use the their bitcoin funds on products and services from entities that also accept Bitcoin, instead of exchanging everything on CEXs.
Well, I guess I'm asking too much, one step at a time.
