my main problem was i didnt read the euro sign at the left of the value field as meaning i need to enter a euro amount. so of course i cant boost 2222€ worth of sats if theres like 3€ worth in it.
thats my fault i think.
and on PC now i was able to put in money through stripe. it still doesnt work on my phone though

Let me advocate for something that won't happen anyway.
i think we should use opus instead of mp3. especially for live audio.
its way better.
less data to transmit, so its better for the listeners, better for hosting companies bills. if they have a live server and better for podcasters.
from my testing at least, the higher the amount of data is an icecast server needs to push out, the less listeners at once it can handle.

I did disagree but now I get it. There's another boost for you to respond to next episode.
I will see what I am gonna do. For my actual project I need to make a player page anyways. So getting some general overview or library view, following shows and notifications set up maybe payments set up.. Yes that's a lot of work. But almost it's a logical thing to do anyways.

umbrel keeps doing this though. I thought it was nice now. Or I was hoping it would be but is it??

I don't know if I like umbrel yet. It's refused updating to.. 1.1 or whatever that was for weeks. Until it randomly worked. Now its refusing to 1.2.2...i think.. Meanwhile they already have one ending in 3 coming out.
I didn't even look if alby hub is on umbrel based on that. Does that work with helipad or some other boost viewer type thing?

in the long run I think I will have a node on umbrel... If I can keep my confidence in it.
Either that or albyhub.
I still want an easy to use solution. Albyhub is too. Expensive for me Though like. Ah yes let me Pay 20k sats so I can send..... 4k or something in boosts.
Maybe I'll self host the docker image.. I think they have a docker image.

Oh no. I just realised I need to explain to my non techy friend that alby is closing and that he needs to do something
