You nailed it right here.

The Megalith channel is still open. I have two Alby Hubs on different PCs that I use to experiment or send sats from Podcast apps. Both Alby Hubs have a channel open to Megalith. Everything on these two Hubs are the same except one moved the sats to savings and the other still has them as my spending balance.

2025-01-22 17:20:22 UTC

I just noticed the same thing on one of my Alby Hub nodes. My spending balance moved to "Savings Balance" and I have no clue how to move that balance anywhere. I have over 3,500 sats stuck.

I don't know how to host https://getalby.com/.well-known/lnurlp/satsandsounds without a name and file extension.
Are there examples of the value block with the lnaddress in place of the node ID?
Also, is the .well-known portion of the file path just the root directory of my site? For example: satsandsounds.com/lnurlp/satsandsounds/options

I'm probably as close to an "average person" with regard to all of this as anyone here.
I'm waiting to see some examples of what I need to do. Keysend was easy because it was just my node ID. I really don't know what lnurl or lnurlp is. I don't know what the options file is. I don't truly understand nostr wallet connect or how it really functions with Alby.
I'm running my own node on a Start9 and I'm running Alby Hub.

I see your point. I guess that's where Sam's tokens corrects that problem.

2024-11-23 15:01:04 UTC

- reply

I think that's because they worked like a bank. They allowed sats to be spent anywhere. I would lock it down inside each app. If the sats could only be spent in-app or refunded they're not being a bank.
I used to own a restaurant where we issued gift certificates. The money was held essentially in escrow (just a G/L entry) until the cert was used.
I think the concept is the same.

2024-11-23 14:49:58 UTC

- reply

Users can get their unspent sats back as a refund if they want. I know that might be an accounting nightmare for an independent app. But I think conceptually it would be legal in the U.S.

2024-11-23 14:49:02 UTC

- reply

I'm not a CPA or lawyer but have been in several different industries over my life. Maybe this is a dumb question. Why can't an app use its own Alby Hub, create sub accounts, and lock down its use so it can only be used to send sats within the app? Conceptually its no different than a restaurant issuing gift certificates to be redeemed at only that restaurant.

2024-11-23 00:31:33 UTC

- reply

The problem I see, and I haven’t heard today’s board meeting yet, is the podcast apps that use Alby, other than Truefans, requires the user to have their own Alby Hub on their home computer running 24/7 or pay for Alby’s shared node. No normal person will do this. Is it cost prohibitive for other app devs to do what Truefans is doing?
I think people will trust their apps to choose a reliable wallet.

I updated my feed yesterday around 2pm ET but the index has not picked that up yet. I can’t seem to use podping from SF as the site just hangs right now. I tried manually pushing a refresh of the feed but that doesn’t seem to work.

Anyone using Helipad noticing boostagrams not coming through after connecting Alby Hub on your Start9? I know it has to be a small number of people doing this. Just curious.
I had a boost from Podcast Guru show up on my Alby Hub but not Helipad. Other boosts seem to be coming through okay that I can tell. I tested myself using Podcast Guru and didn't have a problem. I'm a bit perplexed.

I've always embraced crappy quality in both audio and video. I'm perfectly happy with mp3s and I don't pay extra for HD streams either. If I can save a buck or two with SD video I'm fine. As long as I can see it and hear it I'm golden.

I'm not sure I see the difference between a mint and custodial lightning.
A mint is a layer that sits on top of lightning, works like lightning, but transactions happen within the mint?
Is a mint is akin to a bank building? When inside you can move money around within the bank for free. But if you need to move it to a different bank or withdraw it (to lightning) you pay a small fee.
Is the vision for hosting companies and apps to be their own mints?

For the first track the feedGuid is not correct. When I look it up it should be 508bfb27-3623-513c-9eda-0b512a2abc82. The itemGuid looks right.
My guess it would be the same problem for the other tracks.
On Wavlake you have to pull the <podcast:guid> not the <feedGuid>. Counter intuitive but that's the way the GUID bounces.
