[BUG] Error: No separator character for [email protected] about lightning-browser-extension HOT 10 OPEN

the error you see in the logs is an error when it checks if it's a plain LNURL it is caught and logged.

The issue with that ln address is that the user does not have incoming liquidity, yet.
We are currently in the process of releasing our self-sovereign wallet, and this user still needs to finish the setup.
The error message needs to be improved, thanks for raising this!

Is the method of "getting an Alby account and not having to think about it" going away? It used to just give you a wallet.

going forward you will still just get a wallet and you will still not need to think about it and you will own it.
but yes, it will slightly a bit more todo during the setup.

I'll share a demo video that you can see it.

"no separator character" makes me think it's trying to parse as bech32 and not falling back to lightning address.

Happens with me as well.

What does he need to do to finish setup? @Danidfra

I tried to create a new account, to see if would work, but it didn't.
I can't generate invoices and can't receive satoshis through my lightning address.

Here's my lightning address: [email protected]

@bumi any ideas?

Hey @Danidfra ! You have to link your Alby Account to a wallet.
You can either connect your Alby Account to a wallet that supports NWC
Or you can connect it to a Node, umbrel, or start9 or MyNode
Or you can connect it to an Alby Hub self-custodial wallet.

I'd be happy to assist you on setting up an Alby Hub if you need to, feel free to join our discord server for that!😃

Hey there @alexgleason !

Thanks so much for your interest! Custodial technology is great for just providing a wallet, but it can pose issues when scaling. New technologies are enabling Alby and other Bitcoin companies to develop self-custodial wallets. These wallets give more power and sovereignty back to users, which is both nice and much needed. However, as you mentioned, self-custody still needs improvement in terms of ease of use.

You're more than welcome to try it out! Join our Discord, or even schedule a group onboarding for the Alby Hub. We can continue our chat on Discord. See you there, and thanks for your feedback! 😊🙌
