We are working on better errors to diagnose these problems. Our Tor support is unreliable and I'm sorry.
Forcing users to open clearnet ports is dangerous and is similar to kyc (((

Come on man. I'm not forcing you to do anything. I'm sorry Tor isn't working for you. I hope we can get it fixed soon.

fwiw I'm getting the same error message, and I don't think I'm connected via Tor.
Currently just using Alby Hub Desktop.

Are you using NWC? What kind of lightning node is Alby Hub connected to?
reply
Yes, NWC. I assume it's connected to the default lightning node that gets installed when you install the software.
With my Alby node I was already able to:
  1. Receive bitcoin into the wallet via blockchain.
  2. Connect to stacker.news LN node on LN.
  3. Route a payment to Bitrefill through stacker.news node.
  4. Attach the wallet via NWC. The green circle seems to indicate the wallet was attached successfully. However, when I set desired balance to 0 and click save, I get an error message saying "Failed to create test invoice: the public key does not have a wallet connected. (I guess it's not 100% same as the other user's error)
reply
That error suggests the NWC string might be invalid. Was this with a brand new NWC string?
reply
Yes, as far as I can tell.
I finally got it to work. As far as I can tell, I only got it to work if I check more than just "Create invoices" when creating the receive connection. I think I checked:
  • Create invoices
  • Read node info
  • Look up invoice status
  • Read transaction history
  • Read balance
Previously I only checked "Create invoices" and it would not work.

I'm glad you got it working!
I think currently we expect read node info permissions which I'm not sure we need. @ek do you know why that's there?
