Can you explain what went wrong? I assumed that if I had a channel open with SN, then there wouldn't be such a thing as "Alby being down".
We communicate with your node (when you’re using nwc) by using a nostr relay -asking it to pay an invoice and asking it for an invoice that can be paid to it by someone else. Alby makes people use their relay which occasionally suffers from outages.

Basically we need a way to “control” your node and there’s not a lightning native way to do this (ie we can’t do this over our channel with you) so things like nwc create another protocol/layer/service that enables use to do this control. It’s another point of failure.

Thanks

Searched Alby on SN, sorted by recent, and found this thread. I too am experiencing an issue zapping with alby connected wallet
ETA: also seeing an issue connecting to them in their Alby Go app. Definitely something down there

Same here. Unable to send/receive any zaps. Argh.
I had just recently started shilling albyhub since it's been a great experience since I set up albyhub in Sept 2024. Looks like I'll need to stop shilling it for now.
wss://relay.getalby.com/ looks to be the problem.
What can we do to avoid this and similar outages in the future? I can/will deploy more servers if need be. Downtime is unacceptable and I will go to crazy lengths to eliminate all single points of failure.

Good news; my zaps are working again today.

Mine too. I had dozens of failed zaps to go through and retry this morning.
Same here!
