Oh, that's good to know. How's the mobile experience connecting NWC?

@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... @nprofile1q...

The only issue with NWC from an app perspective, is it also allows other wallets to connect. Other wallets that don't support keysend like Alby does. Users will be confused why they can connect their Primal Wallet but not be able to send a boost. Once most podcasts are lnaddress, NWC will make more sense for apps to support without having to deal with users blaming the app for their failed boosts.

I mean you guys open source everything, so even though I'm running my own hub, your team did all the work to build out the software.

Cool, so the Alby software, if everything is managed by me, can be ran independent of getalby.com. This means I can get all the benefits of the team's development while avoiding any geo-restrictions the team may need to implement on their domain due to world politics.

@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q...

@nprofile1q... I love everything Alby has done. You guys kept lightning payments going in PC2.0 when LNPay stopped, and I won't forget that. But...

Even with a self-hosted node, it seems like I'm required to use getalby.com for my lnurlp info. Maybe there's a way so it's truly sovereign and even setting up my webhooks and lnurlp callback can be from my own domain, but I haven't been able to figure it out, so I still have to link my hub with getalby.com.

Is he looking for the easiest? Wavlake, they take care of all the infrastructure, hosting, and provide a wallet.

If he already has an Alby wallet and can follow a 15 minute tutorial, there are easy self-hosting ways of doing it.

Depends on your goals.

@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q...

Okay, then an app gets a pubkey, puts in in their .well-known/npub or something, and the private relay could easily check and whitelist legit npubs.

I don't like nostr's flat array data structure, but that's a minor thing.

I care about a podcaster's privacy, and the apps not being responsible for hosting the podcaster's metadata. The hosts (you know, the one's charging a podcaster $15 a month) should be responsible for hosting the metadata.

@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q...

Can I have a private relay that public apps can post to, or would they need some secret way to post to the private relay?

@nprofile1q...

Totally agree. I think hosting a server to send the metadata to is no different than hosting a relay.

Unlike a relay though, a server has privacy built into it, and the self-hoster's would be able to figure out how to host their own metadata server, and those who can't can sign up with a hosting company or service that handles it for them.

Fundamentally, I don't see your nostr solution as being much different than a meta server. It's an app sending signed data to a server.

@nprofile1q...

And if I wanted my metadata to be private, is that possible with nostr?

@nprofile1q...

Doesn't the podcaster need to know the relay the app is sending to so they can see data?

If I post something on Damus relay, and that's the only relay I'm connected to, and you're not connected to Damus relay, then you're not able to see what I posted.

Am I understanding nostr correctly, I can only see stuff from you if we're both connected to at least one similar relay?
