Migrated to my Alby hub yesterday after having just used the browser extension since I created this account, and it's been a been of a mixed bag.
Good things: sense of satisfaction at having my own lightning node with super low barrier to entry both from a technical and monetary point of view. Managed to fund it using Binance which I had never successfully got lightning withdrawals to work with before.
Bad things: the transition was far from seamless as I lost ~400 sats, which yeah isn't a fortune, but for a humble zap farmer that's a lot of lost work. Not to mention it cost me 3X what I have in my zapping wallet just to fund the lightning channel to even use the app. Otherwise it all looked normal yesterday, but today the browser extension and the app don't seem to be synced properly, as the app shows the correct balance but the extension shows a 0 balance.
