This @Alby is some bullshit.

All my sats just went pof, cant log into hub, cant restore hub, cant do nothing.
400usd I had there.

If you want this wallet to restore or whatever the fuck.
You can have it for fucking free, I’m done with this shit.
Lightning up my fucking ass is what it is.

Hit me up and I’ll give you the seed phrase and backup file from the node.
I’m too stupid to do shit with this and I am not wasting any more time with this.

Way to go, make an application that makes me feel so fucking stupid that I’m just giving away hundreds of dollars just to be rid of it.

Is this on a personal server or Alby hosting?

Alby seems to be having some issues today. I logged in to my custodial wallet in zeus a few minutes ago and it showed over 25 million sats balance. I assure you a quarter coin is not "pocket change to leave in a custodial wallet" by my standard.

I haven't used Alby Hub yet, but have it in my list to play around with soon. I don't mind trying to recover your sats. I've done this for several people over the past couple of years. That said, hey nostr:nprofile1qqs2hr9cpe0y9fwytl8s5mpf0e6ckyf6sld22q5tzzezhzkl2w2a2qspr3mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k...

Hi Peter. I'm sorry you are encountering some issues with our new product, the self-custodial wallet. We made it so that users can recover sovereignty over their funds and choose their own usage limits. Are you having issues with a self-hosted Alby Hub? or with Alby Hub on Alby Cloud? If it is self-...

Bitcoin Daddy is not amused when the government tries to stop him from smoking lightning. He is the OG daddy cool. Just look at him.
He was once arrested for having too much swag, can you belive that?
But they had to let him go because he was too cool for the heat.
Badumtsss!

Just going to make an update on yesterday’s rant.
I have not looked at notifications, I was in such a mood, still am, but it’s looking a lot brighter and I’m not ready to be distracted.

My brain finally decided to join the mission to get my albyhub back online.

I got backups of key and nwc for albyhub.
I wanted to nuke the whole thing and just add the backups to a fresh OS.
I could do that and it might work, but that would be very reckless when I can just flash to another sdcard and add the backups there.

Save the first sdcard incase it doesn’t work, at least then I can fallback to fixing the original. Or if I could figure out how I broke it, maybe I won’t do it again? big maybe.

This hub was working fine so I’ve been fixated on trying to get this one to work again, since it was working, should be able to get it to work again?
It never struck me to just make another…

Crossing my fingers, if it works, and if I didn’t manage to transfer all my sats to the wrong address I’ll be zapping like Zeus in no time. Probably going to be some time, but at least I’m still trying, been feeling like giving up so many times already.

If you have your keys, the liklihood of losing your lightning channel sats is very low. Be patient and seek help if you cant find the amswer yourself. Alby is generally very responsive and responsible...

I didn’t lose them, I transferred them out of my possession thinking it would do the reverse, transfer them back into my possession.
I used the wrong address to redeem not knowing what this function was.
As no warning message was given I didn’t think I needed to act with caution.
Usually when it comes to functions that transfer coins you get some kind of indication that this will transfer fund out of your possession, I got nothing, so I thought nothing of it.

Managed to find this function in albyguide and from I can see it’s lost.
So really keys or no keys, coins are not mine anymore.

nostrich profile picture
I thought I needed to input the address from which I wanted funds redeemed from so I just sent it all right back from where it came from «the channel funds».

Yeah I’m very much done explaining this, I’ve been trying to explain this to «Juanpaul» and «Roland» in customer support for a week now.

Like I said, I was being an idiot while I was doing this, so really it doesn’t need to make sense to you, there was an idiot was behind the wheel, mistakes were made.

I already asked for help, so this is just a report on how I feel about this, and I do not feel like an onboarding session talking about how I fucked up, how I made mistakes not knowing what I was doing, I know I fucked up, I do not feel the need to have this repeated to me.
bumi · 111w
and where did you get that address from that you entered there? I don’t even know what you mean with the channel funds. searching for your case, but maybe you want to join one of the onboarding, it seems you mix up quite some things there which pile up.
nostrich · 110w
So is ur problem solved ?

I am aware of this, which is why I have provided you with all this information through customer service, more than once.

And I hear what you say, but still I copied the address from the invoice and sent the coins. You say it’s impossible, still I did it.

I have explained all the steps I made, everything I did, in great detail.

This is not me asking for support, I already have a case open with you.
This is me reporting on my experience and I do not belive that my support ticket will help with anything, I lost and this is me coming to terms with that.

I’m not quite sure how I lost, but I did.
nostrich profile picture
Well I’ve been having the worst experience.

Trying to get in on with @Alby
Setting it up albyhub on raspberry pi, transferring funds, trying to open a channel, thinking I made a mistake, I opened another thinking I could just close as the funds were, after all within tx alby wallet, or so I thought.

I got no confirmation on «close channel», but I got the option to redeem Onchain Funds, this was very poorly explained so I thought it would redeem from the transfer address from the channel tx, really it asked for the address I wanted it redeemed to, I was idiot I know, but there was no indication that funds would be transferred out of my possession.
So I managed to transfer all my redeemed funds out of my wallet without knowing this is what this function would do.

Not receiving funds back on close channel I thought maybe I needed to add receiving balance so I opened an invoice to «pay with another wallet», I thought this invoice would pay the fee and place the rest in my saving account, I was an idiot again, transferred to much for the invoice to registrer so now the sats just sitting there in there invoice address, did not increase my «receiving capacity», the payment has to be exact, again I did not know this and there was no indication it had to be exact.

Then my albyhub started acting up, disconnecting not allowing me to reconnect. So I update raspberry and albyhub, now I cannot even unlock my wallet, can only ssh into raspberry, albyhub.service fails, updating albyhub and rebooting only freezes the raspberry when alby starts running.

I lost more than 500k sats trying to get this running.
Now they are telling me that if I cannot unlock my albyhub, I cannot retrieve any funds I still might have. I dont think I have any funds left, to me it seemed all my channel funds was transferred out of my wallet with the redeem function. I asked them to look at my blockchain transactions to confirm this, but they are either not looking, or not telling.

Like they could just look at the transaction and see what happened with the redeeming of funds… So then I’m thinking they are not telling because they see the funds are lost and don’t to come and be outright like yeah, those coins are gone, sorry for inconvenience.

I got fucked trying to wrap my head around this and If you’re an idiot like me.
I would not recommend.

I know this amount is not a lot, but to me as a student - I could’ve easily lived off this for a month or two.

GetAlby?
I feel like I got rekt.
I’ve been robbed at gunpoint and that experience was more pleasant than this.

Signing off for now, my albyhub won’t come back online, at this point this is way over my head and I do not know what to do, how to fix, I’m afraid if I try anything else I will just fuck up and lose even more so I’ll stop here.

I’m just left with the feeling that lightning wasn’t for me, I thought bitcoin was supposed to be for everyone.

I feel like those guys who’s been victim to pig butcherialbycams, like how could you fuck up like that? how stupid can you be?
Well I didn’t even need a scammer to lose my coins with alby.

Might get a little addictive if one starts to receive sats here and there, I saw some people claiming they were able to buy lunch and coffee couple times a week.

I will have to check out v4v, as for nostr I agree sharing musical content might be a good idea as it’s not super saturated like all the other platforms.

The type that fits my current mood, it’s broad.
Mostly I just play guitar to any tune, rock and blues, instrumental stuff.
Been dabbling for a few year with production, hiphop, dance, edm type stuff.
Any type of psy-genre.

I don’t share my music, I don’t think it’s listenable, very critical of what I do.
But I tried up to see if you had some music online, but that username of yours is somewhat famous.

Down East NC is the best, visit a gun store , point at weapon that is illegal in 99% of jurisdictions and say “I’ll take that one” and pay and go home with it
nostrich profile picture
This just sounds like crazy talk.
Norway - to be able to own a gun that is not meant for hunting, you need to get e permit for that weapon and dyou need to be an active member of a shooting club, if not - you do not have a reason to own such a gun. And I think this is mostly pistols and small firearms, nothing too crazy. Nothing automated.

Now if you actually get a permit is not a given, they can just say «sorry but we don’t like your face».

nostrich profile picture
I agree, normal interaction shouldn’t be based upon if I get a zap or not.
Got my first zap yesterday and unfortunately I do not have lightning up and running lmao.

I really don’t care if I get rewarded or not because this space seems healthy, go to reddit, twitter, youtube or facebook, it’s all advertisement, bots and unbelievable rude people. If you hold an opinion on anything you can be sure that someone will take a literal dump on you for saying so.

Someone will wish cancer upon your whole family for saying you like dogs.
I have been here for a week and I have seen one person being toxic.
This is a good space and I like it.
