One more suggestion - open a channel to @sn.
Node > open channel > advanced options > channel peer (dropdown) select custom > in peer text box, copy paste the pubkey at the bottom of @sn and remove "@52.5.194.83:9735" > click next > follow instructions for funding the channel.
Enjoy minimum fees when sending/receiving with sn and your alby hub.
When you created your channel, did you need to provide a host:port? Do we just use the @ info that we removed for the pubkey?
reply
Just the pubkey. ip:port arent necessary. The connect textbox/copy string at the bottom of @sn includes the ip address and port and those should be removed.
When you first copy/paste the string it will reveal another text box for ip:port because it cant automatically parse the string in the pubkey field, but this disappears once the pubkey field is only a recognized pubkey.

I must be doing something wrong, then. Not only does my Hub (ver. 1.9.0) want me to provide that port, but it keeps spinning when I do try to open a channel. Any channel, not just w/ @sn.
Thank you, though. I'll keep digging.
EDIT: Figured it out. My Pihole was blocking mempool.space from one of the blocklists I have configured. Unblocked that and all is well with the world.

The guys at alby are pretty helpful in their discord channel. Hit them up if you want their support

I'll 100% hop in if I get stuck (I might be already and just don't remember tbh lol). But yeah, this time it was DNS. It's always DNS.
