How can you log on Stacker.news with Alby?
204 sats \ 8 comments \ @Storyteller 6 Aug 2023 nostr
I’m currently logged in on Stacker.news with Twitter.
But today I got Alby, the web wallet. I managed to get in on Habla.news. I got in on Primal.net
But I seem not to be able to get in on Stacker.news with Alby.
What is the exact process step by step to get in on Stacker.news with Alby, when you already have logged in with Twitter?

Does Alby support lnurl auth? @bumi
We are going to add nostr login next week if not.

Does Alby support lnurl auth?
Yes. It works seamlessly and you can also just paste the lnurl-auth string:
we now support copy-pasting the lnurl-auth string in the new release (v1.14.2)

  • On Stacker News, click on login.
  • Click on Login with Lightning
  • Click on the QR Code
  • Alby popup should appear for logging in
That should work if you want to have a new account in SN.
If you want to link an existing SN account, then go to https://stacker.news/settings and then click on Link Lightning and click on that QR Code.
You can also copy and paste the lnurl-auth string.

I'm currently signed on SN with the Alby wallet. I think you need to copy the LNURL SN provides you and copy that in the wallet address field when you're "sending" sats. It's something weird like that

Yeah, you get the lnurl-auth string by going to https://stacker.news/settings and clicking on Link Lightning.
You can then simply click on the QR Code, or copy the string and paste it in Alby in the Recipient textbox after you click "Send" in the wallet.

A couple of things...
  1. I THINK that if you log into SN via Twitter you get wallet A. Say you have 21 sats in wallet A. Then, if you log in with something else, like Alby, you're not using wallet B. Those 21 sats won't appear. Your wallet B will show 0. I'm not 100% sure on this, but I think this is correct. For this reason, I've tried to stay consistent and login only one way (via Lightning/Alby).
2A. (ON DESKTOP) - The way I log in to SN via Alby is through BlueWallet (BW). I have BlueWallet on my phone and have Alby linked/synced to BW. Anything I do on Alby shows up on BW and vice versa. To login to SN, I click login, then "logic with lightning" and a QR code is generated. Then, on my phone, I open BlueWallet and hit the "scan" button to go to camera/scan QR code mode. I simply scan the QR code shown on SN and I'm in.
2B. (ON MOBILE) - Go to SN and click login, then "logic with lightning" and a QR code is generated. Then tap the yellow "copy" button to copy the "lnurl..." address. Then, open BlueWallet and it says "Clipboard: You have a Lightning invoice on your clipboard..." Hit "continue" and "authenticate" and you're logged into SN via Lightning/Alby.
