Ratings and reviews

I was trying to setup a lightning node on Umbrel but I seem to have difficulty doing so. Then I came across Alby Hub. If you follow the steps carefully, you'll have a lightning node up and running in no time. I subscribed to the Pro Plan to get a custom lightning address. Using Alby Go works best with Alby Hub. I like the clean interface. The only gripe I have is it's not supported on a game by THNDR for withdrawing the sats prize. I'm sure the app will be further improved.

it's a good app, however takes time to understand what you're doing and linking the albygo app to the hub has not been straightforward. I know the guys are working hard. I'm not technically minded and I've eventually navigated it. I'm playing around at the moment, in the hope that I can use lightning payments, which I haven't done yet. I had to open up a channel to open/connect the Albygo wallet, which I didn't have to do before. and I paid for pro and don't really understand what it does.

I've been running an Umbrel node for years but only just installed Alb (What an idiot i am) this is a brilliant wallet connector, still finding my way around but wow, well done the Get Alby team.
