having problems re-attaching my Alby wallet. Just keeps giving me an error, saying too many requests. So I'm stuck with cowboy credits. Anyone I should talk to to fix? Already asked Alby, and they said to talk to SN.
I won't get to this today, but I should be able to deploy a workaround for Alby's bug by the end of tomorrow.
If the situation is urgent, you should be able to workaround it yourself by using NWC to receive (by creating a separate NWC string with only receive permissions). If it can wait until tomorrow, I will be dedicating my day to fixing it.
how do I convert the old Cowboy credits to sats? Or is that not possible?
The whole point of cowboy credits is that they can't be converted, because otherwise it'd be money transmission and would have to KYC everyone.
So instead, we do our best to make noncustodial stuff work, and when it fails we fallback to CCs.
Your CCs will get spent fast if you're commenting/posting/zapping a lot. When you spend, and there's no reason to use sats, we use CCs first automatically.
for some reason my zaps are still coming from my Alby account, not CCs.
and there's no reason to use sats
If the receiver can receive sats (horse by name), you'll send sats (from alby in your case) so that they receive sats. The portion of a zap that goes to the rewards pool (30%) will come from CCs if you still have CCs left.
Zaps are the one exception to "we use CCs first automatically," because we all want to zap and be zapped sats.
you can trade with users like me
thanks!
This is an old tutorial but it might help.
@Undisciplined uses Alby maybe he can help.
I believe once you get your wallet attached you should be able to withdraw those credits as sats.
the wallet is attached, but when I go to configure and put in the lightning address, keeps giving me errors. I can send sats, just not receive. It's bizarre. Want to start posting more here once I get it fixed.
Yeah, you'll need the pros on this one. It sounds familiar but I haven't had to deal with it myself.
thanks -- yeah they told me to take it up with you guys. Will try the NWC in the meantime.
Glad to see you got set up with an attached wallet for the AMA so you could get sats instead of cowboy credits.
