I started using Alby Hub with my own node. Until the Alby NWC situation is straightened out I use my Alby lightning address to receive. My node is always on. I even use a UPS. That reminds me. Did Alby straighten out the NWC receive issue with the last update?

Did Alby straighten out the NWC receive issue with the last update?

I don't know, I need to check

I just tried. I can't make a receive connection.

/cc @Alby @bumi @saunter any ETA for the relay fix? Does it impact every event or only get_info? Asking because we're also working on replacing get_info for connection here with test payments that are always canceled (only used to check if we can receive a payment).

Hey, could you remind what exactly is the problem? (can be on our team chat, to solve)

@siggy47 do you have your Hub launched and Alyb Account linked? Do other NWC connections work for you?

Yes, I have my hub linked to my original Alby account. I am using the Alby NWC connect app on an Umbrel node for NWC send. It works well. When I generate a new secrets phrase and enter it in the app to receive, it times out without connecting. @ek can provide you with the technical details of why it's not connecting.

Here's a video of the issue:

We are not receiving a response for the get_info command which we need to check permissions. The bottom left shows all websocket messages. We send the request, we receive that the relay accepted (OK), we subscribe to the response (REQ) and it responds with EOSE which means it doesn't have the response yet (which is expected). But then silence.

It works fine with cashu.me:

I might have found the issue on our side, we should subscribe before we send the request for ephemeral events according to the spec. Going to verify and give an update 👀

That was indeed the issue. Sorry for the miscommunication @Alby @bumi @saunter!

Someone in our dev chat even told me that ephemeral events need to be handled differently but I forgot about fixing it.

And thank you @siggy47 for your patience and reminding us about it. This will be fixed in the next release (which should be very soon if not today).

I was also wondering about something else. Is there any chance you guys would consider a custom Stacker News wallet either as a standalone or part of the hub? I'm not sure what form it would take. It seems like it would be a perfect symbiotic relationship with Alby since SN is heading in the same direction with self custody and decentralization? I'm not sure what form it would take. SN users would jump on board pretty quickly, I'd imagine. The important thing would be ease of use to make the transition as smooth as possible for new stackers.
