Do you see any error message on Strike's side?
If you send over your Alby lightning address we can look for some events. --> support@getalby.com
It could be missing receiving capacity. I would aim for twice the size of the max. payment that you plan to receive (in at least one of your channels)

2 channels are enough to go on the zapping spree. You can just get them from a LSP in the app or open a custom one as a pro user.

Are you able to click on the Bitcoin Connect button and choose "Browser Extensions"?
If Alby is installed it pops up and asks you to connect to the website. No login needed.
Could you send any screenshots or recordings of the behavior to support@getalby.com? That would help us a lot.

@npub19hg…yv9p is a start. It decouples the wallet part from apps. Users can bring their own wallet, set fine grained permissions and budgets.
App developers on the other side don't need to build a wallet from scratch but can rely on an open protocol that allows to interchangeably use any wallet.

Did you check if the website was not accidentally blocked in your Alby settings? I assume you used the same account as always in the extension with the private key.

Are you sending via the browser extension or via the app (getalby.com). If you share a screenshot or error message with support@ getalby.com, we'll take care of it.

2024-01-08 07:29:33

- reply

To make a payment to another person, Alby needs to request and receive the invoice first. Maybe on the way to Alby something is not working. Are you zapping with the browser extension or did you connect your wallet directly to a Nostr app?

2024-01-07 10:51:18

What is not working? Could you share a error message with support@getAlby. com?

2024-01-02 12:37:25

Are you using Amethyst via tor?
Just send a message to support@ getalby.com . We'll take care of it.

2024-01-01 11:55:57

- reply

It should be enough to replace your lightning address in your Nostr profile with an Alby lightning address.
It might take some time until all clients are aware of that change. We sometimes see that zaps still go to the old wallet for some time.

2024-01-01 11:52:17

- reply

Do you mind sharing the error message with support@getalby.com.
Then we can look into it.

2023-12-30 19:30:09

- reply

What spec are your referring to? What needs to be done on the wallet side?

2023-12-30 07:01:17

- reply

That is possible with Nostr Wallet Connect
Apps will become wallet interfaces and offer send, receive, balance, list payments functions. But they don't need to become a wallet themselves.
Damus, Nostur, Amethyst and many other apps already support NWC.

Showing zaps is still implemented differently across Nostr apps. Even though the payment went through you don't have the visual feedback on UI unfortunately.

2023-12-13 08:16:07

Do you see any error message? If you send us an email to support@ getalby.com I can look into it.

2023-12-03 18:37:49

The Alby browser extension is a fully client side application. If you connect your own lightning node, nothing is every shared with anybody outside of your device.

2023-11-22 12:15:50

- reply

This integrated way of sending payments relies on relays as well. It seems that tor creates a less stable connection. But we still have to understand the exact cause.

2023-11-21 17:58:22

- reply

Thanks for the report. Do you have Tor activated in Amethyst?
What happens if you connect the Alby account again, click save in Amethyst and try to zap someone?

2023-11-21 07:32:24

Which Nostr app are you using? Please share some details with support@ getalby. com. I will look into it.

2023-11-21 07:29:15

2023-11-21 07:24:33

Cool. Are you thinking of a mobile wallet app or a mobile browser extension for iOS?

2023-11-19 16:56:44

- reply

Oh no. Sorry for this experience. Have you tried to check "Remember my choice and don't ask again"?
What could we do better?

2023-11-19 12:25:20

- reply

You only need an email address if you want to sign up for an Alby account. But that is not needed if you connect your own node or another wallet. Downloading the extension does not require an email address.

2023-11-18 09:12:39

- reply

We don't do a good enough job in communicating the difference unfortunately. But it is an important one.
Yes, the Alby account is a managed account by Alby which requires an email to sign up. We want to make the first lightning experience as easy as possible until we have a non-custodial alternative ready.
But you can use the Alby browser extension in a completely self-sovereign way with your very own lightning node. Doing so you have full privacy with the Alby extension. All data is stored locally on your device.

Can you double check if you use the same Nostr private key in the Alby extension on both computers?

2023-11-14 14:32:07

- reply

If you import your Alby account you use the Alby lightning node for routing payments.
Maybe you can configure your bitcoin onchain wallet separately in BlueWallet.

2023-11-14 08:13:32

- reply

You can use the Alby extension with your own lightning node.

2023-11-14 08:12:59

The Alby browser extension is a fully client side application. No data is shared with any party externally. Ally data is stored locally. You can have a look at the open-source code. But I agree it might be a bit surprising why all these permissions are needed.

You can connect your Alby account to BlueWallet's mobile app.

2023-11-10 06:09:26

- reply

Hey, your Alby lightning address in the LN field is enough to receive zaps.
You need Nostr Wallet Connect only to send zaps. For that you can use the same Alby account to connect to Damus, Snort and many other apps that support Nostr Wallet Connect.
