when you create a connection on that screen. edit the checkboxes and then create the connection. no need to save them before

ah.. sure.
though I consider this app to be deprecated. we don't actively work on it and Alby Hub is kinda the v2 of it.

what do you mean with the "standalone NWC connect app" ?

FYI: there is now an environment variable to auto unlock Alby Hub in those cases. If you know what you do you can set the AUTO_UNLOCK_PASSWORD env variable: https://github.com/getAlby/hub?tab=readme-ov-file#optional-configuration-parameters

What version of the hub are you running there? If that's an old version then there was a case where the entry is listed twice - I think you would see the same preimage there.

Is that file date " 01-Jan-1984 01:01 " intentional 🤔

  1. NO! Alby Hub can and is meant to run behind a firewall or in a private network. NWC (through the relay subscriptions) allows communication with the world
  2. right now you still need an Alby account during the setup. It is used for notifications, LSP recommendations, etc. This requirement will be changed in one of the next versions. It's so far the default during this early release.
  3. Yes. You do this through an so called "isolated connection" - basically a sub account with its own balance. The version which is about to be released contains a "Family&Friends" option in the Alby Hub. It is a full NWC connection and works with any app that does NWC. There is also the Jim app (https://github.com/getAlby/jim) by @rolznz (Nodana even offers one-click deployments of that: https://nodana.io/)
  4. On mobile it is about paying on the Go. You want to send/receive. Alby is about to launch a simple NWC backed mobile app for exactly that. But you can also use an Alby account and then use Zeus or BlueWallet with it. (Signup to an Alby account, configure the NWC wallet and then use Zeus/BlueWallet)

understandable, though technically there is still a lot more to it than a "short spike". But did you get our email? we work hard with the LSPs to prevent this but we put this on auto-pilot for users, so you don't need to care.

you need to wait a bit for a timeout, then they will become available again. I don't know the blixt wallet, but check it again

yes, we also worked hard on this and have quite some measures around fee negotiation to protect users. it eats a lot of resources :) it's also a bit of a balance depending on the channel partners and how "trusted" those are. some implementations are rather strict which does not make sense in a LSP context. this case was even another edge case...

yes. that fee spike was brutal and caused an issue with one of the used LSPs.

Also opening a channel during such a fee-spike is not recommended. we should add a warning to users about that.
The mempool fees have come down again already (5sat/vB on the second block and used it to be 1500sat/vB). I'd still wait a bit more.

This happened due to this huge fee, short fee spike and an issue with some LSPs. It's actually a default lightning mechanism and a protective measure implemented in LDK. It's independent of Alby and happens across implementations. and it's a closure, the sats will become available in the savings balance.
we are investigating this and also collaborating with LSPs to see how this can be avoided in such a LSP relationship. It's independent of Alby and happens across implementations.
we will post an update later.

that sounds like you have a build for the wrong environment. On what kind of machine do you run it?

Can you help me with the Nix package? I looked into it but don't have the experience and the setup right now.
