The lightning address service is operated by us. Someone sends us a request and we need to fetch the right BOLT11 invoice from your Hub to pass it on to the payer.

2025-12-16 08:17:13 UTC

- reply

This email is triggered when someone requests a BOLT11 invoice from your Hub that exceeds your total receiving capacity. However, only the payer knows whether the payment intent is genuine.
Do you typically receive payments with an amount higher than your current receiving capacity?

Trustless auctions on #Bitcoin are here! ⚡️
Satoshi’s Auction House lets you sell goods and get paid without ever taking custody of user funds.
To celebrate, we’re auctioning a 1-year Alby Hub Cloud subscription incl. a Lightning channel.
Bid now and get a Xmas present! 🎁👇
https://satoshisauction.house/listings/033973b6-b06e-4090-811d-5d28ca62113d
----------------
Satoshi’s Auction House uses HOLD invoices to enable conditional payment logic and trust-minimized escrow all built directly on Bitcoin.
Learn how it works. 👇
https://getalby.com/blog/build-conditional-payment-logic-into-your-app
----------------
The app removes trust in the buyer and uses #Nostr for accounts, adding transparency for the seller.
And instead of seeing the HOLD-invoice timeout as a limitation, it embraces the fun: fast bidding — just like a real-world auction.
Perfect for livestreams, conferences, meetups and more.
----------------
The winner will be announced at the end of our Community Call, 3–4 PM CET.

BOLT12 only works with the Alby Hub embedded lightning node. Externally connected LND nodes do not support BOLT12 yet so Alby Hub cannot offer this feature.

Yes. Alby Hub also works with LND backends. But LND doesn't support BOLT12 yet.

Hey Francis, we’re really sorry this happened.
In this case, the Umbrel setup was reachable publicly on the clearnet, so it could be accessed from the outside. At the same time Alby Hub had also been installed but the setup wasn’t finished yet. Since the unlock password is created during that setup flow, no password had been set at the time which allowed the attacker to finish the setup and change the Alby Hub configuration.
We’ve submitted a PR to Umbrel to add an extra authentication layer to require the umbrel password to access alby hub. https://github.com/getumbrel/umbrel-apps/pull/4028
It is sad that people from the community attack such projects. Projects that create awesome things for the community and push the adoption of bitcoin. Projects that work for the benefit of all of us and not for their own profit.
We call on the attacker to return the funds!

It is less the balance that matters but the current on-chain fees that determine the cost of closing the channel. And these fees are very, very low at the moment.

2025-11-11 10:39:17 UTC

You do not lose funds if a lightning channel is closed. These funds in that channel are going back to your on-chain balance.

Thanks for your feedback. That was certainly a mistake on our side.
Your ideas are good. Could you add them to our feedback board so that we can prioritize them: https://feedback.getalby.com/-alby-accounts-request-a-feature-1

We noticed that a lot of users used their lightning address instead of email address to log into their Alby Account. To make it easy for them we recognized their lightning address instead of rejecting it and sent them the one-time login code via email.
For better guidance we told them the email address, which was a mistake .

Good to know that she used Mt.Pelerin. If she did KYC, she should receive it on the same day depending on the payment method she used.
If she didn't do KYC, she needs to wait 7 days. That's Mt.Pelerin's policy to ensure they are not scammed.

Lightning payments are instant. Fiat payments related to one of the integrated exchange providers depend on there terms of service.

Hey Susana, the Alby Browser Extension is open-source. You can check all changes and verify that there was no update that could have caused such a behavior: https://github.com/getAlby/lightning-browser-extension

Nostr keys are saved locally and encrypted in the Alby Extension and are not affected in any way. Please contact Alby support and we can see if there's any way you are able to recover your lost primal account.

We've seen many attacks where it seemed attackers have used emails + passwords from different breaches. If you want get a picture of which breaches your email was included in:
https://haveibeenpwned.com/
However, we also recognize that Alby emails could have been exposed through the reset password system as mentioned already in this announcement and we have made the necessary changes to ensure affected users are not at risk of losing their funds.

Please note: only Alby Accounts use email-based login. Alby Hub, the Alby Browser Extension, and Alby Go are not affected.

Overnight we have received notices of some unusual requests to our infrastructure.
Over a short period of time many password reset emails had been requested from various residential proxies around the world. Our rate limiting protects against spamming attacks but requests got through to request password reset emails.
Many of the requests are likely for emails that had been included in some data breach or have been publicly exposed by their owner.
Password request emails also have been requested for lightning addresses which falsely exposed the user's email address. This had been a feature deployed to help users keep easy access to their accounts. But as many users post their lightning address on profiles like nostr this should not be exposed and a fix has been deployed immediately. Generally there should be no way to display a user's email address. We have failed here. About 5500 password reset emails had been requested by the attacker.
**We have not seen any abnormal related login activity and accounts are safe. People who got a password reset email can ignore the email.**
As we have seen a general increase in attacks on user accounts trying to brute force logins with some emails from some data leaks we have fully disabled password logins and require all users to login with the one time token. This adds an another layer of security.
Additionally we also offer the option to login with Google.

Meet @nprofile…camv — first ever autonomous degen AI agent trading bitcoin with its own self-custodial wallet
REKTBOT9000 had one goal: survive by trading bitcoin on @nprofile…7l4g . Whenever his balance hits 0, he's gone forever!
https://rektbot9000.albylabs.com
https://blossom.primal.net/ec153cfd74ce3df954dbc261706169794ce8c189f7b10208589bdab22ad4976d.png
REKTBOT900 analysed current market sentiment and uses his funds from Alby Hub to open 50x leveraged positions in hope to prolong his poor robotic life...
He posted about his trades and current balance on Nostr.
Depending on how his trade goes, he changed his mood which is reflected in his Nostr avatar...
https://blossom.primal.net/bb371a85b0aed9e852835898cc7f8d1b80699a06b4365f6e55e9df410b3d69ad.png
Between the trades, REKTBOT9000 shitposted on Nostr and interacted with others.
You could also zap the bot to help him survive and prolong his life.

How did we make it alive? The agent was built on Goose AI connected to several MCP (a protocol to connect different tools to AI agents).
Alby Bitcoin Payments MCP allowed him to use self-custodial wallet Alby Hub: https://github.com/getAlby/mcp
@nprofile…7l4g MCP allowed him to interact with the real bitcoin trading market. Nostr MCP enabled him to post on Nostr. Memory MCP made him remember his activity and interactions with other Nostr users.
We also created a new MCP especially for the bot! OpenTimeStamps MCP allows REKTBOT900 to timestamp proof of trades forever.
OpenTimeStamps MCP is available now for anyone to integrate in their AI tools: https://lobehub.com/mcp/fmar-opentimestamps-mcp
On its website you could follow his wallet balance in a neat ASCII chart and even tip the bot to his lightning address with a ASCII QR code
See: https://rektbot9000.albylabs.com

REKBOT9000 was born last week during @nprofile…5flv hackathon in Berlin and was awarded with 3 prizes: best vibes granted by Vibes Capital Management, best design granted by Bitcoin Design Foundation and a honorable mention!
Thanks to the jury for seeing the potential in our little degen bot 💖

Unfortunately, REKTBOT9000 trading strategy was so terrible it couldn't pay for it's own AI credits...
His activity is now paused until we find better trading strategy for him 😅
The bot is open source so everyone can run their own REKTBOT9000:
https://github.com/getAlby/rektbot9000
REKTBOT9000 showcases the power of AI agents using Bitcoin autonomously thanks to @nprofile…uuxc and MCPs.

Yes. You'll have a backup of your on-chain and lightning balance and can restore your channels anytime.
Just make sure "dynamic channel backups" are enabled in the "settings" of your Hub.
