I'm not concerned about Alby specifically.
I am concerned we only have a collection of rope bridges between lightning apps and non-custodial wallets. NWC/WebLN/lightning addresses are better than nothing but we need something 10x better IMO.
How do you think those other options look?
My brain can only think as far as NFC sends or Nostr DM retrievals. As a side note, I’m surprised someone hasn’t come up with a way to send a lightning payment to meatspace geo-coordinates yet, to be collected or returned if not collected. But that’s probably insecure & gimmicky.
Nostr native browsers may help us close that gap too. Something Will and I’m sure others are working on. But that’s mostly just the same concept bundled into a different delivery method.
Alby has moved us forward immensely but I sense is about to come under custodial and security pressures, hence the question. But now you have me thinking bigger.
