@nprofile…td70 Yeah, you have to set up an NWC connection in AlbyHub, which will give you an NWC connection secret to use. You can use that to pull in all the transactions from the AlbyHub.

@nprofile…td70 I think it just uses NWC to connect your Alby account to your AlbyHub. https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/47.md

@nprofile…peg3 @nprofile…zv63 @nprofile…td70 What was the Hive issue? I wonder if it's the same issue I ran into with my IRC bot a couple weeks ago.

@nprofile…w0mx @nprofile…7fxa @nprofile…k8p7 What wallets do those apps support? I think most of the apps still only support Alby through the Alby API.
We could have more wallets if more apps supported NWC, which is an open standard for linking wallets to apps.

- reply

@nprofile…7fxa @nprofile…w0mx @nprofile…k8p7 I've heard others say the same thing, including TJ yesterday.
I think wallet changes and lack of options made things harder. Fountain is still the only free option for sending sats. Options for receiving sats have gotten better though.
I have an IRC bot for sending/receiving podpings that I could probably turn into a website or add to the PI website.
Does Sovereign Feeds help for your feeds? Podcasting2.org is a good resource for finding tag info.

2026-02-19 16:56:00 UTC

@nprofile…k8p7 @nprofile…w0mx I think both ideas could be combined so that it remains simple while allowing for podcaster-defined boost boxes and other crypto-currencies (stablecoins?) to work with it.

@nprofile…td70 @nprofile…x5pc @nprofile…cyex I just grabbed the latest copy of this https://developers.hive.io/quickstart/#quickstart-hive-full-nodes
The api.openhive.network and hiveapi.actifit.io endpoints weren't working for me earlier. My bot is primarily using api.deathwing.me now.
Interesting that that one uses v1.28.0 whereas the others are using v1.28.3. I wonder if there's a version difference that I'm not accounting for?

@nprofile…td70 I have some code to implement a PoW check for the PodcastIndex site if you want. It's on every single API request and could slow things down a tad.
Alternatively, I could have it do a longer PoW check when you load the site and then skip checks on each request.

@nprofile…td70 My dad watches a bunch of AI videos and didn't know they were AI until I pointed it out. The videos all have the same format of an AI voice over stock/AI photos and videos.
The voice overs are actually really good and make it hard to tell that they're AI until they mispronounce something. For example, one of the videos pronounced 'Dodge HEMI' as 'Dodge HE-MAI'.
The videos sorta mimic to the Ken Burns-style documentary format, which is probably why older people fall for them easier.

@nprofile…60s3 @nprofile…2q02 It's just an HTTP server that stores the TLV info for an LNURL-based payment. The app stores the TLV info on the server and then sends a link in the comment field of the invoice. The receiver of the payment can then use the link to retrieve the full TLV info.

@nprofile…nxqw @nprofile…g25d @nprofile…60s3 The secret words are the only thing that matters. You can use those to restore your node onto any computer.
Try loading Alby Hub on your computer and use the secret words to set it up. You shouldn't need to open a channel to see if it has a balance or not.

@nprofile…g25d @nprofile…60s3 @nprofile…nxqw The secret words should recreate the secret key and give her access to the sats.
The channels will probably be all closed unless Alby did backups. She could send it on chain if that is the case.

2025-11-16 01:42:16 UTC

@nprofile…g25d @nprofile…60s3 @nprofile…nxqw You could just install the Alby Hub app on another computer and use those Alby secret words to restore the node.

@nprofile…nxqw @nprofile…60s3 @nprofile…g25d Ah good. Yeah I meant the Lightning app in Umbrel. So the Lightning words match the Lightning words you wrote down? And they don't match the Alby words you wrote down?

@nprofile…nxqw @nprofile…60s3 @nprofile…g25d Its probably somewhere in the Start9 interface then. Did you use these secret words to set up this node?

2025-11-16 00:18:20 UTC

- reply

@nprofile…nxqw @nprofile…60s3 @nprofile…g25d Were those the words you wrote down to set this hub up? If you go into your hub and go to Settings -> Backup -> View Recovery Phrase , do they match what you wrote down?

2025-11-16 00:05:06 UTC

- reply

@nprofile…nxqw @nprofile…60s3 @nprofile…g25d You'll need to set up a separate hub for that then. I think each hub can only have one set of secret words.
You could try installing the alby hub windows app and recovering the hub with that set of secret words from July. If there's sats in there, you could transfer them to your new hub.

2025-11-15 23:52:10 UTC

- reply

@nprofile…nxqw @nprofile…60s3 @nprofile…g25d Do you have the recovery words for whatever hub you had set up in July?

2025-11-15 23:47:03 UTC

- reply

@nprofile…nxqw @nprofile…60s3 @nprofile…g25d That would've been the 12 secret words it had you write down when setting up that hub. They let you recover the hub if you accidentally delete it. Without them, you're pretty much SOL for ever recovering it.

It's your absolute right as a company to choose who you want to do business with. If it ever chose not to do business with the US or me personally, I wouldn't be able to use Podverse, Podcast Guru, Curiocaster, Lnbeats, or most of the other apps because they all use the Alby Wallet API rather than NWC

@nprofile…60s3 There are countries you cannot serve and one you choose not to serve. This seems to be the latter.
The US isn't great at following "international law" either, especially with the current president. Should I prepare to be cut off sometime in the future?

@nprofile…g5pf @nprofile…6746 You can also copy the well-knowns to where ever you want.
For instance, if you had LNBits hosted at whatever.dyndns.org, you would have a well-known at https://whatever.dyndns.org/.well-known/lnurlp/rgblack316 which gives you [email protected] as your LN Address.
You could then copy that file to https://randallblack.com/.well-known/lnurlp/rgblack316 to make [email protected] your LN Address.
Our version of LN Address also supports keysend, so you could have https://randallblack.com/.well-known/keysend/rgblack316 to let apps pay you that way.

@nprofile…6746 @nprofile…zn42 I wonder if it's only the LNURLp service that isn't working. I know Fountain always pays LN Addresses using LNURLp whereas the other apps pay LN Addresses with Keysend or LNURLp

@nprofile…6746 @nprofile…zn42 @nprofile…2d4u My Cloud Alby node has been a bit flaky because I have too many transactions. The good Alby peoples are working on fixing it.

@nprofile…32r0 @nprofile…ywdy @nprofile…j90y Most players already do HTTP range requests to seek to the audio you want to play.
The only benefit of HLS is to offer different bitrates to players, which is less useful for audio than for video.

@nprofile…7xwn I think funding works well for linking out to payment options, but nothing beats just being able to hit a button in an app and immediately send value to a podcaster/musician.
