Alby is a Bitcoin and a Nostr signer. I think including stablecraps and other shitcoins is a very bad idea. If a nocoiner wants to get Bitcoin, it is sufficient that you put a link to some decentralized exchange, like Robosats. A nocoiner doesn't need to be presented to the posibility of scam coins ...

The question was "what do they mean by "Lightning pop-ups" ". From what I understand it's just about receiving bitcoin by selling shitcoins through swap services. We don't deal with shitcoins directly in the app so that's perfectly fine from my point of view.

At least have the decency and recognize you did a mistake. Don't insist with pathetic excuses.

Show me what you don't like then maybe I can understand the mistake.
I really don't see how a link that allows people to get and use bitcoin is a problem.
And I bet pretty much anybody here knows some people who need easier ramps to use bitcoin. From what I hear people here say it's actually one of the main things that prevents zapping.

And I bet anybody here interacts with some entity that sells bitcoin for fiat. We all work to make this less and less but we don't need to lie about it. Any bitcoin tool invites more people to join I wish we would be more constructive about achieving the goal.

How is that the case?

Why do you lie? Say the truth, you added a fucking shitcoin casino to Alby. Fixedfloat is not Robosats.

Call me crazy, but I personally think letting people who hold inferior assets trade them for a superior asset is a good thing.

wait what.. robosats is literally the most bitcoin thing you can do. p2p, no kyc, lightning native. if anything its more bitcoin than 90% of the "bitcoin only" companies that require your ID to buy

I am a bitcoiner from 2012 and yes, never touched ANY shitcoin.
Undisciplined · 3w
It's not what I want or expected them to be spending my money on, so I'm withholding that money going forward. That could change in the future. There are already places to exchange shitcoins for sats. I want more and better bitcoin infrastructure. I encourage you to weigh in on the discussion at SN...

Yes I've run an Alby Hub, self-hosted. After I saw the email newsletter announcing this crap, I don't even update it, just remove it. Also removed the Alby browser extension and Alby Go. I will not use an app that support shitcoineries. This post consider it as a warning, even that you intent to ad...

this is truth

So any onramp an exchange is evil shitcoinery?

Who of you is 100% on bitcoin and touches zero shitcoins (that includes physical paper money or card payments etc.)
and who knows really no person who could benefit from making it easier to get bitcoin in a bitcoin wallet?

Do we really want to be that closed?
and maybe try to keep it constructive. I wish generally there would be more collaboration to improve things among bitcoiners and less fighting each others.

YES is a shitcoinery. As I said: those who already start with shitcoins, MUST EAT THEIR SHIT. Do not help them get rid of their shit. Let them eat it.
Derek Ross · 3w
No, I did not. I reacted. I don't want Shitcoins in an app I rely on. If it's just a link to do swaps as I said below then your newsletter over sold the feature. If it's just a link then the core func...

hm, sounds like you're hard to please. 😉
Do you think onramps and swap services are evil shitcoin stuff?
but please maybe first check and give us constructive feedback what you like and need. would be nice if you could share a screenshot of the feature you don't like.

I stopped using Coinbase years ago because they supported Shitcoins, but I use Gemini for bitcoin back on credit card purchases. I know many Bitcoin Maxis that do this. I guess we determined that this use case out weighed the downsides to supporting them. I'll need to see this for myself.

I removed all Alby apps already. I do not want to deal with this crap anymore. You betrayed your users !
DarthCoin ₿⚡️ · 3w
Remove the option to top-up with shitcoins and stablecraps. Alby must remain Bitcoin only. Otherwise is doomed to be forgotten like any other multicrap app.
