@0xbitcoiner please remember, that Alby Extension is just an interface to a lightning wallet/node.
Looks like you are currently using our legacy custodial wallet, we are slowly migrating our users to self-custodial setup with Alby Hub.
Alby Extension here can be used to send sats via WebLN, but for receiving you need a Lightning Address, which comes with our account (it's not hosted by the extension).
Hope that helps!

Yes, I did! Thanks anyway. By the way, is there a free version of Alby Hub?

It's open source so you can run it yourself for free.

I know that, but I don't want to have a device connected to the internet 24 hours a day. :)

It would be interesting to see Alby Hub do a fee based payment model. Like, 10% of all receives until they've collected their 21,000 sats.

I like that idea, I might subscribe that way. And if you don't reach 21k, do they just charge you 10% without any further loss? That would be great!

Yeah exactly. It's basically pay-as-you-go until it reaches a threshold.
