At Alby we work to make bitcoin everyday money.

Today you only need a bitcoin balance, and can spend and receive across all agentic payment protocols.

This is a big win for L402 ⚡

That’s the thing. I don’t think we should have or need discoverability. I think all relays should have a complete copy of the data (at least for global social media apps). Until we have that the UX will quickly turn away most people

Alby Hub powers a lot of our own operations - we really do a lot of dog fooding and build products we actually need and use!

Read Part 1 and Part 2 to learn what Alby Hub is capable of for bitcoin-based businesses.

@nprofile1q... is our LSP for JIT channels and prices fairly based on fee rates. To avoid unexpected surprises you can always open a larger channel manually too - so no need to rely on JIT channels or any of our LSPs even if you open an outbound channel. It's completely open and flexible for whatever suits you best.

Sovereign Brain is a simple blueprint for a local AI second brain that runs on your machine.

It holds your projects, TODOs, goals, thoughts, and learnings.

It pushes back on your ideas, helps you see things from new angles, and keeps you working on what matters.

2026 is the year of sovereign AI. Local AI is now fast and smart enough to run on a laptop.

It won't beat the cloud. But it's the only AI you'll share your personal thoughts with.

All local and open source: LLM + Pi Agent + Markdown.

For me this is a huge unlock: I wasn't comfortable to share this with Claude or ChatGPT. So I thought, maybe other bitcoiners are also interested and surprised that it actually works.
