I tested using Alby linked with Blink on desktop, it actually works quite nice.

Good. Do you need to create an account with Blink?

Thanks for testing! How did you connect Alby to SN?

no, I just connected Alby with Blink API to test how it feels if I send or receive with Alby while the backend is blink, and it turned out quite smooth - I assumed it would be the same if SN could connect with Blink's API?

Ahh, makes sense. Will fix Alby support today.

I assumed it would be the same if SN could connect with Blink's API?

But the concerns about small zaps due to network fees are valid. But on the other hand, lightning was meant to support micropayments.

I personally have a private channel with SN but not sure how many will open one. The good thing is that you can use this private channel also for other things.
