Connecting Voltage to Alby Hub? \ stacker news ~bitcoin

Hey,

I've recently spun up a Voltage node with the main reason being able to accept LN payments with my startup SATOSH.EE (#784376).

Since both SN and Alby are going non-custodial, I wanted to connect them both to my node as well.

I've set up different sub-accounts on my Voltage node via LNBits (company nostr, personal nostr & SN, A Stoic Resurrection (#662497), Open Source Culture, other projects) so that I can keep personal, company and different projects' balances separate.

Both of these tutorials seem to be outdated: https://getalby.com/voltage https://guides.getalby.com/user-guide/alby-account-and-browser-extension/alby-browser-extension/link-wallet/voltage

I was able to connect SN via LNBits fairly easily. However, I am unable to connect Voltage (via LNBits) and Alby. Straight Voltage to Alby connection (which I am also unable to figure out how to do) would not be ideal since, as I mentioned before, I would like to keep the balances separate for accounting purposes.

Alternatively, feel free to recommend other options for creating sub-accounts within Voltage that can be also connected to nostr or other external apps.

Thanks!

If you already have a LNbits on Voltage, why don't you just create a new LNbits account only for SN and link it ? SN work pretty straight forward with a LNbits, for send/receive.

Yeah connecting SN was pretty simple, that's done

I was able to connect SN via LNBits fairly easily.

This is what I'm struggling with. Voltage/Alby/nostr connections, basically:

However, I am unable to connect Voltage (via LNBits) and Alby.

I guess as a last resort I can make Primal custodial wallets for nostr use only. But, again, that's not ideal.

Can you create LNBits sub-accounts instead of Voltage sub-accounts.

I did create LNBits sub-accounts, but can't figure out how to connect them to Alby Hub instances.

You want to use your voltage node with SN via lnbits? Or you want to use the voltage node with alby gub? To connect the node to alby, when you start alby setup, select advanced and then LND. Insert you lnd node url and macaroons and done.

But I do not understand why do you need alby if you alrwady have a lnbits instance.

I want Voltage-LNBits-Alby connection so I could continue zapping and receiving zaps on nostr easily from my browser (and through my own node) like I do now with the Alby custodial wallet.

To receive you only need a LN address from your lnbits (you can have many, each paylink is one).

To send using alby extension you just have to link directly to your lnd node or lnbits account. In alby you have options. You do not need alby hub just for zapping on nostr. Alby hub is for when you do not have a lnbits.

The same is for SN. You can link it directly to your LND node, or to lnbits, or receive to a specific LN address and send from a lnbits account.

I'm sorry I'm still having trouble understanding the process:

Where do I get the LN address from LNbits?
When I navigate to Alby connection page (https://getalby.com/connections) it has LNDHub option, but to connect to other wallets such as Zeus or BlueWallet. LNBits has the same options - I only have the option to connect get details for connecting to those wallets and no place I can see where I could input the LNDhub credentials from Alby for example
